Re: radeon problems with current cvs code
Load DRM with option no_wb=1 what is it for and how do I do it? Well... it tells your DRM to not try to do writeback through AGP (that is to not let the video card write various status informations back to memory via the AGP bus). Doing AGP writeback is faster, but on some chipsets, it doesn't work properly. The driver tries to detect it, but we had some examples in the past where the detection would say ok while it's still unreliable. This option forces not to do it. To do that, you either: modprobe radeon no_wb=1 (Or edit the appropriate modultils config file to have that option by default) Or if the module is built-in the kernel, boot the kernel with radeon.no_wb=1 On the kernel comand line. Try latest DRM CVS I have kernel 2.6.16. I saw that source files such as radeon.c were identical to the ones in DRM CVS. Am I wrong? There is no such file as radeon.c that I can remember :) the drm CVS has a slightly more up to date version than 2.6.16. To build it in linux, go to linux-core and type make DRM_MODULES=radeon At the moment I have a kernel compiled without module support. And the radeon drm is built-in. Do I have to change that? If it works for you, stay with it. At the moment it works, but xgl is slow with movies. I saw this sentence in the suse site: Driver has neither pBuffer nor FBO support.

You might want to try using DRM CVS, the DRM you have looks to be a bit old... it might work better with DRM CVS.. or at least if it doesn't you can tell us...
