Hi, I hope this is not a FAQ, but if it is I can't find it!
I upgraded from 4.0.3 to 4.1.0 to see if that would stop random display freezes. When I did 3D acceleration stopped working. In the XFree86.0.log I see that X could not load the drm software: (==) R128(0): Write-combining range (0xf8000000,0x1000000) [drm] failed to load kernel module "r128" (II) R128(0): [drm] drmOpen failed (EE) R128(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI. I tried loading the r128 module by hand (as described in the 4.1.0 docs re: DRI) and get an error as follows: [root@dcz tmp]# insmod /lib/modules/2.4.2-2/kernel/drivers/char/drm/r128.o /lib/modules/2.4.2-2/kernel/drivers/char/drm/r128.o: init_module: Cannot allocate memory Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters I've also tried using my old XFree86 config file but that didn't help. Here's the specifics of my system: Red hat 7.1 (kernel 2.4.9-19), ATI Rage 128 (actually it's an Xpert 128). How I upgraded: 4.0.3 was installed from red hat's CDROM; I got 4.1.0 binaries from the xfree86 web site and ran the Xinstall program. Any help would be appreciated and again, I apologize if this is a FAQ.
