I haven't seen this popup in the list, and I don't want this to disappear ... so here is a resend.

Since this is a DRI card, it could be the kernel or X. So I (with some effort) installed a kernel from RH. Same behaviour (machine just dies, screen goes to power saving when trying to test or start X). So, it probably wasn't the kernel. Then I upgraded (with even more effort, I had to hack some files, rpm --nodeps --force with some RPMs, - --justdb with others) to the XFree86 in Rawhide, and after it all, I got to the point where X would actually start. A bit later, I could log in, and I could even run Tuxracer. I can't benchmark with glxgears (RH 7.3 stock was running 1000FPS), since glxgears are in different packages in RH and Mandrake. Now I just have to figure out why I have no keyboard when starting X via the dm service (starting it as root from a console works fine). So, it would appear Mandrake XFree86 package is at fault. Attached is the log file from when XFdrake tried to setup the card with the Mandrake XFree86 RPMs. Logs available on request (but maybe not for long) for the current working setup. Note that I used the config file created by XFdrake, so it is definitely not Drakx or XFdrake. I have copied a section of the log that looks relevant: (II) RADEON(0): [drm] created "radeon" driver at busid "PCI:1:0:0" (II) RADEON(0): [drm] added 8192 byte SAREA at 0xc8921000 (II) RADEON(0): [drm] mapped SAREA 0xc8921000 to 0x40012000 (II) RADEON(0): [drm] framebuffer handle = 0xd0000000 (II) RADEON(0): [drm] added 1 reserved context for kernel (EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIScreenInit failed because of a version mismatch. [dri] radeon.o kernel module version is 1.1.1 but version 1.2.x is needed. [dri] see http://gatos.sf.net/ for an updated module [dri] Disabling DRI. (EE) RADEON(0): [drm] failed to remove DRM signal handler (II) RADEON(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel I would really like to see this fixed before final, as there is no Mandrake release that I have tried (8.2, 9.0b3, 9.0b4) that works out the box on this card, so I will have to start suggesting people use Debian or (even worse) Redhat on desktops.
