 Posted: Tue Jan 16, 2007 4:51 pm Post subject: No DRM/DRI loading, ati-drivers Radeon Xpress 200m [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I've been trying to get drm working. As I understand it, when drm is loaded, one should see at least two lines in dmesg, one that say DRM initialized, and another line mentioned one's video card. I see neither when attempting to use the closed-source ati drivers. According to ATI's website, the closed source drivers should work with the Radeon Xpress 200m. I can load fglrx without incident. I haven't been able to find much information on this problem - there is a bug report concerning this video card but it appears to have been resolved. Is this a bug or a configuration problem on my part? Yes, DRM is disabled in the kernel.
I consider this to be a kernel/module problem but the reason why it's important to me is because I can't get 3d-acceleration or glx to work in Xorg without it (or so I believe).

I'm pretty sure this is a kernel/modules problem but I've included my xorg config and log just in case someone was interested.

Here's the glx error when I type glxinfo:

As far as I know you can't get Xorg DRM working with ati closed source drivers. Try replacing this line in the Modules Section of xorg.conf:

| That produced no effect. As I mentioned, I don't think changes to xorg.conf will resolve the problem. I think it's a kernel/module issue |

Have you tried using diffrent kernel version? I have a very similar configuration and with gentoo-sources-2.6.19-r4 + ati-drivers-8.32.5 everything is working fine. The only diffrence I've noticed is that I've Load "DRI" and no Load "DRM" in my xorg.conf. Also when I modprobe fglrx I can see in my dmesg:
| Code: |
fglrx: module license 'Proprietary. (C) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Starnberg, GERMANY' taints kernel.
[fglrx] Maximum main memory to use for locked dma buffers: 922 MBytes.
[fglrx] module loaded - fglrx 8.32.5 [Dec 12 2006] on minor 0
[fglrx] total GART = 130023424
[fglrx] free GART = 114032640
[fglrx] max single GART = 114032640
[fglrx] total LFB = 134086656
[fglrx] free LFB = 119697408
[fglrx] max single LFB = 119697408
[fglrx] total Inv = 0
[fglrx] free Inv = 0
[fglrx] max single Inv = 0
[fglrx] total TIM = 0
|
I don't know if it's important, but in your dmesg this message is much shorter. If you want I can send you my kernel config, though it's very similar to yours. |

| DtZ: Do you have amd64 and the same video card? If so, then yea I'd love to see your kernel config. Otherwise I'll just give that kernel a try -- I'll worry about suspend2 later. |

It seems we basicly have the same hardware. The only diffrence is that I have Athlon64 not Turion CPU but it shouldn't matter. 3d acceleration is working fine for me. I can run beryl with Xgl and games like Newerwinter Nights or Eternal Lands(though performance isn't great). You can find my kernel config here. Also here's my xorg.conf. Hope this helps  |

I think it's time to give up. Even with your same kernel and config:
| Code: | localhost vision # glxinfo

My xorg log looks the same as it did before. There are no DRM messages in dmesg. |

So it must be xorg.conf then. I've noticed that you've got 2 modules sections there. I think that this might be the problem. Try loading synaptics module in the first section along with dri,vbe,ddc etc.
As for dmesg you won't see any DRM messages there.There's no such module for ati proprietary drivers. My "dmesg | grep DRM" returns nothing and everything is working fine. |

OMG!! I can't believe it!! Thanks so much DtZ, I would have completely given up if you hadn't mentioned that you didn't have any DRM messages in dmesg. All I did was clean up my xorg so that there was only one module section. Any now:

3975 frames in 5.0 seconds = 794.471 FPS

3963 frames in 5.0 seconds = 792.479 FPS
3936 frames in 5.0 seconds = 787.164 FPS
3950 frames in 5.0 seconds = 789.925 FPS
