No GLX on Intel card with multiseat with additional nVidia card

rated 0 times [ 7] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 9221 / 2 Years ago, tue, april 26, 2022, 6:17:35

I have multiseat configured and my Xorg has 2 server layouts. One is for nVidia card and other is for Intel card. They both work, but display server assigned to Intel card doesn't have hardware acceleration since DRI and GLX module being used is from nVidia driver.

So my question is, can I configure layouts somehow to use right DRI and GLX with each card?

My Xorg.conf:

Section "ServerLayout"

    Identifier     "Default"

    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0

    Option         "Xinerama" "0"

EndSection

Okay, so found a solution, but there's a bug preventing hardware acceleration from working on Intel GPU's at the moment in Ubuntu 12.10 with new Mesa 9.0.1 library.

In short, problem was with loading GLX. nVidia would push it's own GLX module and step on Intel's toes.

I found a solution by noticing this line:

[    18.240] (==) ModulePath set to "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules,/usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules,/usr/lib/xorg/modules"

Namely modules located in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules are all nVidia specific ones. So I configured LightDM to use two xorg.conf files. In Intel one, I've manually set ModulePath excluding nVidia directory. This resulted in loading of proper GLX module.

My /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file looks like this:

[SeatDefaults]

user-session=ubuntu

greeter-session=unity-greeter

allow-guest=false



[Seat:0]

xserver-layout=Default

xserver-config=xorg.conf.nvidia



[Seat:1]

xserver-layout=TV

xserver-config=xorg.conf.intel

Lines added to xorg.conf.intel:

Section "Files"

    ModulePath     "/usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules"

    ModulePath     "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"

EndSection
