gma500_dri.so not found; Intel Atom N2600 with GMA 3600
by baumei from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6CAZ8)
Edit: I read the Intel Integrated Graphics is not in the chipset, but is embedded in the processor. The processor is an Intel Atom N2600, which has the Intel GMA 3600 (aka PowerVR SGX545).
I have a laptop which has the Intel NM10 chipset with Integrated Graphics. It is running Slackware 15.0 (32 bit).
When I run 'startx' in a console an error message is generated:
Code:MESA-LOADER: failed to open gma500: /usr/lib/dri/gma500_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (search paths /usr/lib/dri, suffix _dri)
failed to load driver: gma500
(II) modeset(0): Initializing kms color map for depth 24, 8 bpc.Though there is an error message, X starts and runs. (Perhaps in VGA or SVGA or XGA mode?)
I looked in "/usr/lib/dri/", and indeed there is no file named anything similar to "gma500_dri.so". However, I do find several other .so files.
In my Slackware 15.0 repository there is a file named "MANIFEST.bz2", which I think contains a listing of ALL the files comprising Slackware 15.0. If I open MANIFEST.bz2 and go down to the listing for package "./x/mesa-21.3.5-i586-2.txz", then I see several .so files and softlinks(?) which are to go in the "/usr/lib/dri/" directory, however none of them are "gma500_dri.so". It seems to either there should be either: a file named gma500_dri.so; or a softlink(?) between this name and some other .so file.
I am not familiar with Mesa and its .so files. Do any of you know more about it than I do?
