Re: xf86 driver won't compile
In order to get applications like mplayer to work properly, I need to compile an ATI Radeon 4200 driver from x.org. This is what I use sh ./configure --prefix=/usr/X11R6 \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --mandir=/usr/X11R6/man \ --with-xorg-module-dir=/usr/X11R6/lib/modules \ --disable-kms make sudo make install Works with 6.14.2 Regards Nigel Taylor Hi misc, I have a laptop with ATI chipset (from dmesg): vga1 at pci1 dev 5 function 0 ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 rev 0x00 wsdisplay0 at vga1 mux 1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation) wsdisplay0: screen 1-5 added (80x25, vt100 emulation) radeondrm0 at vga1: apic 4 int 18 drm0 at radeondrm0 azalia0 at pci1 dev 5 function 1 ATI Radeon HD 4200 HD Audio rev 0x00: msi azalia0: no supported codecs From reading this thread I am led to believe that my graphics performance will be better if I compile install the xf86 driver.

xf86 driver won't compile
I think I'm missing something obvious here, so a clue-stick beating would be appreciated. In order to get applications like mplayer to work properly, I need to compile an ATI Radeon 4200 driver from x.org. (Thanks to brynet for that tip.) That used to work fine, but around mid-May it stopped compiling (details below). The configure script output has this slight difference: $ diff configure.ok configure.failure 88c88 checking for LIBDRM_RADEON... no --- checking for LIBDRM_RADEON... yes 132c132 Kernel modesetting: no --- Kernel modesetting: yes so I think I'm missing something simple, but with my limited knowledge, I'm just not understanding it. The driver compiles just fine when LIBDRM_RADEON is _not_ found, but craps out when it is found. I don't get it. Any help would be appreciated.

(I'm currently compiling a bunch of ports, and waited until thunderbird finished before replying.) I _knew_ I was overlooking something simple... When it came to the configure script diff, I was paying attention to LIBDRM_RADEON and trying to include this and that, while kernel modesetting was the problem. And to think, I _almost_ didn't paste those lines from the diff thinking they were irrelevant. Thanks again guys, - Scott
Re: xf86 driver won't compile
Sorry Scott, didn't see this, '--disable-kms' is needed now. oga@ committed DRI/DRM support for r600+ cards, all that work got the DDX driver all excited. http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvsm=130679235018645w=2 -Bryan.
