 |
|
I'm having trouble getting radeon dri to work when I have agpgart, direct rendering manager and radeon dri compiled as modules. They work fine when compiled into the kernel. Direct rendering does not work when these are compiled as modules (I need it to play games  ). Here is what dmesg says:
| Code: | Linux agpgart interface v0.101 (c) Dave Jones
[drm] Initialized drm 1.0.1 20051102
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 19

I would like to use the official ati drivers instead of these but they seem to screw up all the tty consoles (ctrl+alt+F*). When I try change to one of these consoles the screen is blank. If anyone knows anything about this aswell it would be great if you could help me out/point me in the right direction.
Thanks |

Does /var/log/Xorg.0.log say something about DRM failing because AGP is not initialised (I don't have the exact error message at hand any more)? If it is the case, make sure that your kernel configuration has the AGP driver used by your motherboard (in Device Drivers -> Character Devices). For example
| Code: |
<M> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
< > ALI chipset support
< > ATI chipset support
< > AMD Irongate, 761, and 762 chipset support
< > AMD Opteron/Athlon64 on-CPU GART support
<M> Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8xx and E7x05 chipset support
< > NVIDIA nForce/nForce2 chipset support
< > SiS chipset support
< > Serverworks LE/HE chipset support
< > VIA chipset support
< > Transmeta Efficeon support
|
and that you load the corresponding module from /etc/modules.autoload/kernel-2.6:
The kernel help is not overly clear, and I wrongly used ati-agp at first ("ATI chipset support" above).
Also, DRI support in the kernel must be turned off:
| Code: |
< > Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support)
|
and you have to emerge x11-dri with support for your cards, like:
| Code: |
VIDEO_CARDS="radeon" emerge x11-drm
|
(I have put the 'VIDEO_CARDS="radeon" in my make.conf so as not to forget it).
HTH,
Lionel
