Hi all, I'm a new user under linux and I'm trying to work with it. Now I'm trying to enable the DRI with my ATI rage 128:
#lspci 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 RF/SG AGP I have a 2.4.18 XFS linux kernel, and I'm running under a Gentoo v1.2. A month ago I have the 4.2.0 XFree86 X Server. At the first time I installed the kernel DRM to activate DRI, but with the Rage128 kernel driver I have had repainting problems and with that drm-kernel version DRI didn't work: (EE) R128(0): [dri] R128DRIScreenInit failed because of a version mismatch. [dri] r128.o kernel module version is 2.1.6 but version 2.2 or greater is needed. [dri] Disabling the DRI. (EE) R128(0): [drm] failed to remove DRM signal handler DRIUnlock called when not locked Then I download that kernel drm: http://www.xfree86.org/~alanh/ I compile it (Makefile.linux) and I got: -rw-r--r-- 1 netfox users 15308 02-01 15:12 r128_cce.o -rw-r--r-- 1 netfox users 80020 02-02 14:03 r128_drv.o -rw-r--r-- 1 netfox users 116784 02-02 14:03 r128.o -rw-r--r-- 1 netfox users 24680 02-01 15:12 r128_state.o I only put the module at the correct dir: /lib/modules/2.4.18-xfs/kernel/drivers/char/drm/r128.o And I load the module: #modprobe r128 DRI Works fine and I haven't rapainting problems. (But... what are other files? I have to overwrite r128_drv.o at /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o ? And... what are r128_cce.o and r128_state.o files ? ) Now, the problem is that I install that XFree86 version: XFree86 Version 4.2.1 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600) Release Date: 3 September 2002 With this version, when I active the DRI with last mentioned r128.o driver I get a Segmentation Fault with some applications. I think only the applications who need Open GL are crashing. If I try to change r128_drv.o that I have with de XFree86 for the r128_drv.o that I get compiling drm-kernel I get some errors and DRI doesn't work. What can I do to enable DRI without getting Segmentation faults?
