Hello,
Well, an intel based portable with a radeon 9000 was working fine with a 2.6.12-gentoo-r9 kernel until this morning. X(kdm) would not start. I logged in (console) and entered 'startx' and got something very strange: First I had to comment out the { Load "speedo" } line, then the next problem was(/var/log/Xorg.0.log): 'Symbol drmGetClient from module /usr/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.o is unresolved' I also get: (**) Keyboard1: CustomKeycodes disabled (WW) No core pointer registered (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Keyboard1" (type: KEYBOARD) No core pointer Fatal server error: failed to initialize core devices Checking /etc/X11/xorg.conf it is otherwise as it was (except for speedo) commented out in the fonts section. I did a emerge -uD world yesterday. I tried the older 2.6.gentoo-r4 kernel, which worked fine for weeks and it gives the same problem, with identical results. I rebuilt the 2.6.12-gentoo-r9 kernel with radeon detailed debugging turn on and here is what I get: Linux agpgart interface v0.101 (c) Dave Jones [drm] Initialized drm 1.0.0 20040925 ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKA] enabled at IRQ 11 PCI: setting IRQ 11 as level-triggered ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] -> Link [LNKA] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 [drm] Initialized radeon 1.16.0 20050311 on minor 0: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R250 Lf [FireGL 9000] radeonfb_pci_register BEGIN ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] -> Link [LNKA] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 radeonfb (0000:01:00.0): Found 65536k of DDR 128 bits wide videoram radeonfb (0000:01:00.0): mapped 16384k videoram radeonfb: Retreived PLL infos from BIOS radeonfb: Reference=27.00 MHz (RefDiv=12) Memory=250.00 Mhz, System=167.00 MHz radeonfb: PLL min 20000 max 35000 1 chips in connector info - chip 1 has 1 connectors * connector 0 of type 2 (CRT) : 2300 Starting monitor auto detection... radeonfb: I2C (port 1) ... not found radeonfb: I2C (port 2) ... not found radeonfb: I2C (port 3) ... not found radeonfb: I2C (port 4) ... not found radeonfb: I2C (port 2) ... not found radeonfb: I2C (port 4) ... not found Non-DDC laptop panel detected radeonfb: I2C (port 3) ... not found radeonfb: I2C (port 4) ... not found radeonfb: Monitor 1 type LCD found radeonfb: Monitor 2 type no found radeonfb: panel ID string: LP171W01 radeonfb: detected LVDS panel size from BIOS: 1440x900 BIOS provided panel power delay: 1000 radeondb: BIOS provided dividers will be used ref_divider = 6 post_divider = 4 fbk_divider = 40 Scanning BIOS table ... 320 x 350 320 x 400 320 x 400 320 x 480 400 x 600 512 x 384 640 x 350 640 x 400 640 x 475 640 x 480 720 x 480 720 x 576 800 x 600 848 x 480 1024 x 768 1152 x 864 1440 x 900 Found panel in BIOS table: hblank: 320 hOver_plus: 64 hSync_width: 32 vblank: 12 vOver_plus: 3 vSync_width: 3 clock: 9621 Setting up default mode based on panel info radeonfb: Dynamic Clock Power Management enabled radeonfb (0000:01:00.0): ATI Radeon Lf radeonfb_pci_register END kobject_register failed for radeonfb (-17) [<c021eff9>] kobject_register+0x49/0x80 [<c02c2548>] bus_add_driver+0x58/0xd0 [<c0228f87>] pci_register_driver+0x87/0xb0 [<c05a833e>] radeonfb_old_init+0x3e/0x46 [<c0590a0b>] do_initcalls+0x2b/0xc0 [<c01003b4>] init+0x94/0x1b0 [<c0100320>] init+0x0/0x1b0 [<c01014a5>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0x10 is this a Digital Right Management issue? confused...
