[gentoo-user] 3D Acceleration With Laptop - Radeon Xpress 1100 IGP

2007-07-03 Thread Drew Tomlinson
I have a laptop with  ATI integrated graphics.  lspci shows the graphics 
card as:


01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS485 [Radeon 
Xpress 1100 IGP]


I have been unsuccessful in getting X configured to work with this card 
with dri enabled.  I followed the guides at:


http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ati-faq.xml
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/dri-howto.xml

and I've also Googled for a week with no success.  With the x11 drivers 
installed, I get this error message when starting X:


(EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable

I've emerged ati-drivers and set make.conf to include the fglrx driver 
as suggested in the ATI guide.  However when loading the fglrx.ko 
module, I get an error about ...taints the kernel.  Thus I suspect I 
have some option set in my kernel that conflicts with the fglrx module?


I'm at a loss.  Can some kind soul please point me in the right 
direction toward the steps needed to get 3D acceleration on my laptop?  
Should I be using x11 or ATI drivers?  And if ATI drivers, any idea what 
is might be conflicting in my kernel?


Thanks,

Drew

It's not an error - just some wise guy's reference to the fact that you 
are using a closed-source driver with the open-source kernel. Sounds 
like it is loading perfectly fine. :)



Be lucky,

No conflict in your kernel - the taint message means that you have
loaded a closed-source driver into your kernel - nothing to worry
about (unless you are interested in running a completely free/libre
system).

Can you post the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?

No that just means that the binary you are running (kernel + modules) is 
not Free Software or, in this case, distributable at all.

See http://www.kroah.com/log/images/ols_2006_keynote_12.jpg , part of 
http://www.kroah.com/log/linux/ols_2006_keynote.html which is full of high

Thank you for your posts.

OK, I tried starting over again as when I wrote the above post, I wasn't 
trying to use the ati-driver.  So I emerged ati-driver.  However, when 
attempting to load the fglrx I get an Operation not permitted error (I 
remember this now).  I am logged on as root.   Please see this output:

So, I am confused.  What exactly should VIDEO_CARDS= setting be in 
/etc/make.conf? =radeon? =fglrx? =radeon fglrx?  I think I need to 
be sure I have everything set right, be sure to un-emerge any 
conflicting ports, and then re-emerge the proper ports.  Can someone 
please point out the steps?


Thanks,

Drew

If so, turn them both off and rebuild the kernel and try to load the fglrx

What happens is, your closed source, binary, module does not have the correct

Can you post the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?



Thank you for your posts.

OK, I tried starting over again as when I wrote the above post, I 
wasn't
trying to use the ati-driver.  So I emerged ati-driver.  However, 
when
attempting to load the fglrx I get an Operation not permitted 
error (I
remember this now).  I am logged on as root.   Please see this 
output:

Question: Is this a custom kernel build? If so, did you enable



Yes.

  


--- enable loadable module suppot
-- module versioning support
or
-- source checksum for all modules



I have these options:

[*] Enable loadable module support
[*]   Module unloading
[*] Forced module unloading
[ ]   Module versioning support (NEW)
[ ]   Source checksum for all modules (NEW)
[*]   Automatic kernel module loading

  

If so, turn them both off and rebuild the kernel and try to load 
the fglrx

module again...

What happens is, your closed source, binary, module does not have the
correct credentials for it to be installed... Thus the operation not
permitted complaint...



I just rebuilt the kernel again to be sure I really built it with those
options.  There was no change.  See this output:

Any other ideas?  Thanks for your help.

The only thing to consider then is that your hardware is not 
supported by that driver...




That may be true.  I have been unable to confirm or deny that.  Anyone 
else? 



I've done some more Googling.  It would appear the Radeon Xpress 1100 is 
supported with ATI drivers.


http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_14603_14624%5E14627,00.html

Now, how to get the fglrx module to load?...

See if Michael can help you at the Phoronix forums:

He has been good at helping me with corner case issue on ATI drivers.



Thanks.  I'll try that.  I also tried installing the ATI drivers 
directly from ATI's web site.  Same issue.  Can not load the resulting 
module.
