I have the same thing on my iBook. Radeon 9550 here, an I *know* it works with r300. I had it working in another distro (gentoo) with vanilla kernel and xorg - no special patches. Not sure what's wrong here. maybe drm version is too old ? What I get in dmesg is:
[ 85.949668] [drm] Initialized drm 1.0.1 20051102 [ 85.995517] [drm] Initialized radeon 1.24.0 20060225 on minor 0 [ 87.118258] agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:00:0b.0 into 4x mode [ 87.118272] agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:00:10.0 into 4x mode [ 87.198209] [drm:radeon_do_init_cp] *ERROR* Cannot initialise DRM on this card [ 87.198218] This card requires a new X.org DDX -- [Radeon 9200] [Mac Mini (powerpc)] drm fails to initialize the radeon module, consequently direct rendering is disabled. https://launchpad.net/bugs/47762 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
