I can now start Xorg without alias radeon off in modprobe.conf! Is it a bug still that this wouldn't work when the aperture was set to 64MB's? In addition, I'm not quite sure that all is well. glxinfo still displays: direct rendering: No I see the following in dmesg: [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 [drm] Initialized radeon 1.25.0 20060524 on minor 0 [drm] Setting GART location based on new memory map [drm] Loading R300 Microcode [drm] writeback test succeeded in 1 usecs And the following as well: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ egrep -w "dri|drm" /var/log/Xorg.0.log (II) LoadModule: "dri" (II) Module dri: vendor="X.Org Foundation" (II) Loading sub module "drm" (II) LoadModule: "drm" (II) Module drm: vendor="X.Org Foundation" drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 (II) RADEON(0): [dri] Found DRI library version 1.2.0 and kernel module version 1.25.0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 (II) RADEON(0): [drm] DRM interface version 1.3 (II) RADEON(0): [drm] created "radeon" driver at busid "pci:0000:01:00.0" (II) RADEON(0): [drm] added 8192 byte SAREA at 0xf8d34000 (II) RADEON(0): [drm] mapped SAREA 0xf8d34000 to 0xaff85000 (II) RADEON(0): [drm] framebuffer handle = 0xe8000000 (II) RADEON(0): [drm] added 1 reserved context for kernel (II) RADEON(0): [drm] register handle = 0xd7000000 (II) RADEON(0): [dri] Visual configs initialized (II) RADEON(0): [drm] installed DRM signal handler (II) RADEON(0): [drm] Added 32 65536 byte vertex/indirect buffers (II) RADEON(0): [drm] Mapped 32 vertex/indirect buffers (II) RADEON(0): [drm] dma control initialized, using IRQ 17 (II) RADEON(0): [drm] Initialized kernel GART heap manager, 5111808 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 (II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib/dri/r300_dri.so glxgears runs at a pathetic 700 FPS. Will tinker with it some more. But perhaps in light of my aperture discovery this isn't quite ready to be brought to the dri-devel list. I should retry a lot of the more obvious stuff once again now that the machine at least doesn't lock up. I am curious if you would consider the machine freezing when the aperture is set at 64MB to be a bug (didn't try any other setting).
