I'm trying to get the r300 drivers to work on a laptop with an ati radeon mobility x300. The laptop is running debian etch. This is what I've done:
1. Installed binaries of Xorg 6.9rc0 from experimental. 2. Installed binaries of libgl1-mesa-dri 6.3.2 from unstable (contains r300_dri.so) 3. Grabbed the latest svn of the drm kernel modules by running 'cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/dri co drm', then cd'ed into the /drm/linux-core directory, issued make radeon.o, then copied the resulting .ko files into /lib/modules/version/char/drm, and then ran depmod -ae. Then after reloading the radeon and drm kernel modules and restarting X, my Xorg.0.log looks quite pretty - it finds my card and lots of drm stuff appear in it, however it fails with "Direct Rendering disabled" without telling any reason. I checked my syslog too and found what is probably the reason: kernel: [drm] Initialized radeon 1.19.0 20050911 on minor 0: ATI Technologies Inc M22 [Radeon Mobility M300] kernel: [drm:radeon_do_init_cp] *ERROR* Cannot use PCI Express without GART in FB memory I have no idea what this error means. Anyway, here's my Xorg.0.log: http://eulex.0nyx.com/Xorg.0.log.x300 Regards, Alexander Toresson ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl -- _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
