to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear Sirs: My notebook (Dell C800 Latitude) has a built-in RAGE MOBILITY 128 AGP 4X graphics card. The chiptype is M4 AGP4X. The corresponding kernel module is the r128.o which also enables DRI. The following setup works perfectly fine --- including DRI: kernel 2.4.3 XFree86_4.1.0 r128.o from http://dri.sourceforge.net/ compiled in May (it is necessary to replace the r128 module from the kernel module compilation by the r128 of the DRI-project!!!) It would now be reasonable that one could use a working r128 module with a newer kernel release. However, www.kernel.org is still implementing an old r128 module --- they obviously don't know that their module is outdated. I just tried it with kernel release 2.4.6, and the r128 module will not be loaded! : [drm] failed to load kernel module "r128" (II) R128(0): [drm] drmOpen failed (EE) R128(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI. On the other hand, you can't replace the kernel module by the one which is working so nicely with kernel 2.4.3 because, if you would do so, the module dependencies were not correct with kernel 2.4.6 (try: /sbin/depmod and, of course, you will get depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.6/kernel/drivers/char/drm/r128.o and /sbin/modprobe will not load the module which was not compiled for kernel 2.4.6). So I would like to ask the people from the DRI-project to make their r128 module available for the coming official kernel releases. Thank you!
