Hola.
I'm new to the list, but I've read over the recent archives and I don't see
any mention of the problem I'm having. I'm fairly new to Linux, but I'm a
software engineer so I should be able to handle any techno-babble thrown at
me. :)
I've got an IBM A30 laptop with an ATI Radeon Mobility M6 LY running Mandrake
8.1. I installed XFree86 4.2.0 yesterday (from Mandrake Cooker RPMs) and
upgraded my kernel to 2.4.17. I compiled the kernel with /dev/agpgart, ati
rage 128 (for grins), and ati radeon as modules. I also included frame
buffer support (with the ati module).
My XF86Config-4 loads modules dbe, dri, extmod, glx, and record. My video
device config looks like so:
Section "Device"
Option "AGPMode" "4"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "radeon"
VendorName "ATI"
BoardName "Radeon Mobility M6 LY"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
VideoRam 16384
EndSection
X loads just fine. However, I get the following problems in my
/var/log/XFree86.0.log:
(WW) RADEON(0): Cannot read colourmap from VGA. Will restore with default
drmOpenDevice: minor is 0

If I compile the kernel without frame buffer support, however, things change.
The above errors go away, but I get the following instead:
(==) RADEON(0): Write-combining range (0xe0000000,0x1000000)

drmOpenDevice: minor is 14
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card14
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)
drmOpenDevice: Open failed
(II) RADEON(0): [drm] drmOpen failed
(EE) RADEON(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI.
This leaves me without hardware acceleration, which is really unfortunate. It
seems that I'm getting further without the frame buffer support, but I'd like
to keep it if possible. Any help resolving this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks,
