[Openchrome-users] No 3D support for chrome9 ?

[Sampsa Riikonen]

Dear List,

I am a new user here so I have some very basic questions..

I am trying to install the openchrome driver into my hp2133
mini-laptop.  The gpu I have on this laptop is the

CN896 / VN896 / P4M900

aka "chrome9", I suppose.

2D works fine, but I am unable to get any 3D acceleration, so I
went through the steps suggested in the openchrome web-page:
----------------------
mini_install/temp2/openchrome # dmesg | grep -e agp -e drm
Linux agpgart interface v0.103
via_agp: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module
[drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810

linux-qj4i:~/hp_mini_install/temp2/openchrome # grep 
openchrome /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) LoadModule: "openchrome"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules//drivers/openchrome_drv.so
(II) Module openchrome: vendor="http://openchrome.org/"
(!!) For support, please refer to http://www.openchrome.org/.

linux-qj4i:~/hp_mini_install/temp2/openchrome # grep 
rendering /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) CHROME(0): direct rendering disabled

linux-qj4i:~/hp_mini_install/temp2/openchrome # 
grep "(EE)" /var/log/Xorg.0.log
        (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(EE) [drm] drmOpen failed.
(EE) CHROME(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed.  Disabling DRI.

(WW) CHROME(0): Unknown vendor-specific block f
(WW) CHROME(0): [XvMC] XvMC is not supported on this chipset.
(WW) CHROME(0): Option "PreferredMode" is not used
--------------------

"openchrome_dri.so" appears to be in the correct directory
(I installed the latest mesa library), but I cannot find a trace
of via_agp.so.  Should this shared library come from the
openchrome driver or from the mesa project?

Maybe I don't get 3D acceleration because my chip is not supported?

Cheers,
