That depends: when building from CVS, it should be off. A different thing to try, from the 3D Acceleration Guide: "Q: It doesn't work. I don't have rendering, and I can't tell why. A: Try insmod radeon before you start the X server. Also, try building agpgart into the kernel instead of as a module." > > Did you put "radeon" into your xorg.conf ? > > Yes, and it is loaded as is drm: (copied from the first message) > > lash kernel $ lsmod > Module Size Used by > radeon 75776 1 Well, that is the kernel module, radeon.ko :), what X needs for glxgears is /usr/lib/modules/dri/radeon_dri.so. > flash mark $ dmesg | grep drm > [drm] Initialized drm 1.0.0 20040925 > [drm] Initialized radeon 1.14.0 20050125 on minor 0: ATI > Technologies Inc RV250 5c61 [Radeon Mobility 9200 M9+] > [drm] Loading R200 Microcode If preloading the module doesn't help, and building the agp stuff into the kernel neither, then try building the drm.ko and radeon.ko from CVS, the last one is probably newer. For a better summary: grep RADEON /var/log/Xorg.0.log Benno -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
