[Intel-gfx] Trying to compile drivers to the Acer Aspire One 532h

[Nicolau Werneck]

Hello. I am trying to compile all graphics drivers from scratch to use
in my Acer Aspire One 532h netbook, but something is not working and I
don't know what it is... In fact, I am not even completely sure the
machine is compatible, but the error messages are not helping a lot.

I am running my own Linux Kernel:
$ uname -a
Linux spirit 2.6.38-rc5-nic #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Feb 22 00:17:00 BRT
2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The drivers seem to be OK

I am trying to compile the xf86 driver from the
intellinuxgraphics.org, and also Mesa 7.9.1 (tried 7.10 too). But
something seems to be wrong in the compilation or installation. Here
is what happens if I run any opengl program, for example glxinfo
gives:

$ glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no
such operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  152 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
  Serial number of failed request:  14
  Current serial number in output stream:  14


The same message happens when I run any graphical program such as
glxgears or steam (via wine).

There is also this error message in the Xorg.0.log:

$ sudo grep -i "glx\|drm" /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) "glx" will be loaded. This was enabled by default and also
specified in the config file.
(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
(II) Module glx: vendor="FireGL - ATI Technologies Inc."
(II) Loading extension GLX

drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns 9
drmOpenByBusid: drmGetBusid reports pci:0000:00:02.0
(EE) GLX error: Can not get required symbols.


Any ideas?... How do I even check if I am running the correct drivers
and using the correct libraries, and that these are actually
compatible with my computer? :/

Thank you very much,
