 Posted: Fri Apr 01, 2005 3:50 am Post subject: [Solved] No HW accel with ati-drivers and xorg |
 |
|
Hi... hopefully somebody can help me.
I've been having no problems with my ATI Radeon 9800 card and the previous version of Xorg (6.8.0-something), but today I emerged -uD world and now I have no hardware acceleration. Both ati-drivers and xorg-x11 got upgraded to higher versions.
Here's some outputs, hopefully they're helpful... sorry, it'll be a pretty long message, though I'll try to trim wherever possible.

(WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found

parameter (see dmesg)

Notice it tells me to "see dmesg"... I did, but this is all it says:

I can't think of any other useful info to post, but if you need anything else, of course I'll be happy to provide it.
Thanks in advance for your kind help, suggestions, and pointers to useful info!

I have even tried to recompile the kernel, but at make modules_install I get this:
| Quote: | | WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r1/video/fglrx.ko needs unknown symbol remap_pfn_range |
What's going on here!?  |

Taking DRM out of the kernel helped my problem w/the new drivers, though not sure if you have the same problem or not..
what's "grep DRM /usr/src/linux/.config" give you? |

Yes, indeed I tried taking DRM out of the kernel, after reading a lot of references to that on the forums. It didn't work, but then I upgraded to the latest gentoo-dev-sources (2.6.11-r4). Now it works! Thanks for your suggestion.
However, now when I launch X and the module loads (successfully at last), I get this weird thing:
| Quote: | Mar 31 22:33:59 [kernel] fglrx: module license 'Proprietary. (C) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Starnberg, GERMANY' taints kernel.
Mar 31 22:33:59 [kernel] [fglrx] Maximum main memory to use for locked dma buffers: 803 MBytes.

Mar 31 22:33:59 [kernel] [fglrx] max AGP = 121909248 |
Uhm... what's that? Should I worry about it? Should I really pass vmalloc=256 (assuming the default is still 128) at boot time or something like that?
I'll mark this post as solved now, might post this as a standalone if nobody answers here.
Thanks again,

| Yeah, pass vmalloc=256 onto it. Hopefully no more errors after that. |
