No xvideo and very slow 3D under Debian
For Debian users:
After recently upgrading my xorg libraries to the ones in "unstable" (on a mostly "testing" system), I lost both xvideo and 3D support. That is, xvinfo shows the message "no adaptors present", while playing a simple 3D game such as ppracer shows abysmal frame rates of 3FPS. What did I do wrong? Is there some new library dependency that needs to be installed?
Some info about my system: linux 2.6.29-1-amd64, xserver-xorg-video-radeon 6.12.2-1, libdrm2 2.4.9-1, and lib*-mesa-* 7.4-2.
The actual use of the radeon driver is confirmed via grep /var/log/Xorg.0.log, that shows among other things:
(II) LoadModule: "radeon"
Perhaps the most puzzling aspect of my problem is the disappearance of xvideo support. If ever, this is the first time (counting back from the days of XFree86) that I have an X Window setup where the xvideo extension fails to work when using the *correct* free driver (both nv and radeon). So this may be a clue to what is wrong with my system.
