Hi,
I've some problems with xfree and my laptop. It's equiped with an i815M
graphics chipset. Xfree documentation suggests to use i810 modules. So far
everything works fine. Xfree starts up and I've got everthing up and
running (with some minor problems with transparence - for example the
logout screen of KDE looks terribel). When looking at the xfree log I
noticed the following line:
(==) I810(0): Direct rendering disabled
Can anyone help me and tell me how to enable it (btw: full output of 'grep
810 /var/log/XFree.0.log' is attached at the bottom).
Some more details about my configuration:
relevant parts of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Section "Module"
[...]
Load "dri"
[...]
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Generic Video Card"
Driver "i810"
VideoRam 16384
EndSection
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
relevant parts of the kernel config:
CONFIG_AGP=y
CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y
CONFIG_AGP_I810=y
# CONFIG_AGP_VIA is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_AMD is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_SIS is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_ALI is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_SWORKS is not set
CONFIG_DRM=y
# CONFIG_DRM_TDFX is not set

# CONFIG_DRM_R128 is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_RADEON is not set
CONFIG_DRM_I810=y
# CONFIG_DRM_MGA is not set
# CONFIG_MWAVE is not set
If somebody of you knows what I might have missed, I'd be gald if you could
help me.
Beside the DRI mode I've got an other xfree question. This Laptop (it's a
sony vaio) has several function key. They are not hard-wired but controlled
by software. I got them to work by using sonypi (kernel 2.4.14). For the
suspend to disk/RAM functions I'll have to wait until kernel 2.5.x gets
rolling since this laptop has no APM but only ACPI support and from what
I've heard there is a new driver model coming up in 2.5 that will support
ACPI. Besides that I wonder how to get the external screen to work.
Stelian Pop (author of sonypi) told me the following:
"That's an XFree driver thing. XFree needs to support the external
monitor first (this may be already the case, depending on your card
model).
Next, XFree needs to be capable of switching from one output to
another when told by some external program (like sonypid, when it
gets the Fn-F7 event). AFAIK, there is no support for this cold
switching yet."
I'm not really sure now what to do to get an external monitor to work. I
understand that soft switching might not be possible yet but is there a way
to get the external monitor enabled already at xfree startup? If so, can
anybody tell me how to do that or some place where I can find more
information on that subject?
Thanks in advance,
Tom Winkler
