I recently installed RH 9.0 and have been working on some challenges with X. Some digging and experimentation has got things mostly working. However, DRM won't load and this has me stumpped for now. Hardware: ASUS TUSI-M, P3 @ 1GHz, SIS 630ET AGP chipset, 512MB RAM w/64MB for video, Samsung 172N flat panel display. RedHat 9.0 w/all RPM's applied. Kernel 2.4.20-18.9 (i686) XFree86 4.3.0-2 (all pkgs are i386) rpm -q --provides kernel-2.4.20-18.9 module-info kernel = 2.4.20 kernel-drm = 4.1.0 kernel-drm = 4.2.0 kernel-drm = 4.3.0 kernel-drm = 4.2.99.3 kernel = 2.4.20-18.9 ls /lib/modules/2.4.20-18.9/kernel/drivers/char/drm/ i810.o i830.o mga.o r128.o radeon.o tdfx.o >From statup: PCI: Using IRQ router SIS [1039/0008] at 00:01.0 SIS5513: IDE controller at PCI slot 00:00.1 SIS5513: chipset revision 208 SIS5513: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later >From my X log (the dri and drm modules load but) ... drmOpenDevice: Open failed drmOpenDevice: minor is 0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device) drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device) drmOpenDevice: Open failed [drm] failed to load kernel module "sis" (II) SIS(0): [drm] drmOpen failed (EE) SIS(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI. My XF86Config-4 is largely based on the sample @ www.winischhofer.net (the obsolete modules pex5 + xie had to be removed) and his very good documentation. I checked fbset but it found no device (this seems strange, but I not familiar with this level of detail on video) . The system log shows "modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module fb0" yet there is a /dev/fb0. I have not yet updated the drivers/kernel for the SIS modules beyond what came with RH9 and updated. rpm -qf /lib/modules/2.4.20-18.9/kernel/drivers/video/sis/sisfb.o kernel-2.4.20-18.9 The X log shows: (II) SIS(0): SiS driver (31/01/03-1) by Thomas Winischhofer <[EMAIL PROTECTED] .net> Right after loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a Next steps: 1. see if there are any i686 rpms for X next. 2. *** suggestions are welcome *** 3. Try the updated SIS modules. Thanks in advance, David
