Running Fedora 4 and have the same problem using an Epia xorg rpm from http://washington.kelkoo.net with 2.6.13-1.1524FC4. I think that it is not a problem with the rpm. I found the udev development page and I noted that the change log had a line about turning *off* creation of /dev/dri entries (dated about March 2005). And in my case, xorg.0.log shows that there is no /dev/dri/cardx (where x is 0-254) and thereupon dri fails and drm is turned off. I note that dmesg implies that dri is properly loaded... it does not report the failure apparently. So now the trick is to figure out how to create a udev rule which will create the /dri/cardx entries.... Or step back to the unichrome snaps, instead of the kernel versions, although that might not actually fix the problem, which appears to be udev.. Any takers...because I am waaaaayyyy past my depth already! Geoff R.
