For those of you who can't seem to get DRI working, follow these steps, I laid
it out step by step. The only part I didn't cover was patching the kernel, or
patching and building the Xfree86 distrobution. But this is a MUST read for
anyone who can't figure it out.
Okay, ignore my last 2 posts, I finally figured out what was going on. I thought
I had the custom built module installed, but I didn't. Here's what to do for all
of those who were as confused as me.
Include the ATI support in the kernel, but make the radeon a MODULE, do NOT
include it in the kernel itself.
Build the kernel and install it. Make the modules, and do make modules_install.
Switch to your xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/kernel directory
Do make -f Makefile.linux LINUXDIR=/usr/src/linux
{That's assuming /usr/src/linux is the directory for your kernel source you have
already patched and built.}
Now I don't know about other kernels, but kernel 2.6.0-test2's modules have a
.ko extension.
Don't change directories, but do ls /lib/modules/(current kernel
version)/kernel/drivers/char/drm
there should be radeon.o or radeon.ko in there I'm not sure.
If it's radeon.o replace it with the radeon.o from the
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/kernel directory
if it's radeon.ko replace that with the radeon.ko respectivly.
now make sure the radeon module isn't already loaded (modprobe --remove radeon)
and load the new radeon modules (modprobe radeon)
It should all work, and you should now have DRI hopefully. For all of you who
had the
(EE) RADEON(0): GetBuffer timed out, resetting engine...
(EE) RADEON(0): RADEONCPGetBuffer: CP reset -1007
(EE) RADEON(0): RADEONCPGetBuffer: CP start -1007
(EE) RADEON(0): RADEONCPGetBuffer: CP GetBuffer -1007
(EE) RADEON(0): GetBuffer timed out, resetting engine...
errors, this will fix it. (this was because you were using the wrong radeon module.)
For all of you who were getting the
(II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled
error, this will fix it (that was because you had the radeon dri module built
into the kernel itself)
