I am trying to get dri working for my new sony laptop. The dri FAQ on sourceforge says that I should be using the dri modules from the XFree code rather than that from the kernel. The modules in question are located in /lib/modules/2.4.9-13/kernel/drivers/char/drm on my machine and rpm reports them as belonging the kernel rpm.
Does anyone know if these modules should work? I am having a hard time believing that modules compiled elsewhere are going to load properly. There is a lot of documentation out there and as normal some is contradictory. Does anyone have any pointers to getting dri working under Red Hat 7.2 (yes that is a boxed set) on an ATI Rage Mobility chip? I have exhausted my resources without asking someone and if I have to run glxinfo one more time tonight I am going to commit hari kari with my pocket knife. Any tips greatly appreciated including hey dummy that is not going to work in spite of the docs. Apparently there a several versions of the chip and I can't get any decent info on which ones work and which ones do not. FYI here is what XFree86.0.log shows about the card. (--) PCI:*(1:0:0) ATI Mach64 LM rev 100, Mem @ 0xe9000000/24, 0xe8100000/12, I/O @ 0x9000/8 Then a little later on: (--) ATI(0): ATI 3D Rage Mobility graphics controller detected. (--) ATI(0): Chip type 4C4D "LM", version 4, foundry TSMC, class 0, revision 0x01. (--) ATI(0): AGP bus interface detected; block I/O base is 0x9000. (--) ATI(0): ATI Mach64 adapter detected. I did find one guy on the dri-devel mailing list that seemed to get this working on a dell with the same reported chipset but he was asking questions about compiling a mach64.o module is this what I need to do?
