I believe that the Mobility series of Radeons use an entirely different chipset, which is not understood by the DRI developers. The only feasible way (of which I know) to get DRI on the Mobility Radeon is to use the proprietary fglrx drivers from ATI. Just a warning though, their quality is lacking. On your XF86Config-4 are you using ati or radeon driver? Regarding your question about kernel modules, DRI/DRM needs a kernel infrastructure and is provided by a module for your card (in your case the radeon kernel module) and a module for your chipset (in your case the intel_agp). I suppose you're using a Debian kenel image, and seems the modules are correctly loaded, anyway you can try to load the manually, i think in this order intel_agp, agpgart, radeon then start X and look with glxinfo if you have DRI working.

opengl, ati radeon mobility m7
What does it take to get hardware accelerated open gl working? I'm running a mix of sarge and unstable (mostly sarge) w/ stock debian 2.6.8 kernel on an ibm t30. The graphics chip is an ati radeon mobility M7, which is also identified as the Mobility 7500. I believe xfree is configured correctly. I load dri, drm and glx. XFree loads ati, r128 and radeon drivers. I had the depth set to 24 and I would get this snip (WW) RADEON(0): Static buffer allocation failed -- need at least 17325 kB video memory (II) RADEON(0): Memory manager initialized to (0,0) (1408,2978) (II) RADEON(0): Reserved area from (0,1050) to (1408,1052) (II) RADEON(0): Largest offscreen area available: 1408 x 1926 (II) RADEON(0): Using XFree86 Acceleration Architecture (XAA) Screen to screen bit blits Solid filled rectangles 8x8 mono pattern filled rectangles Indirect CPU to Screen color expansion Solid Lines Scanline Image Writes Offscreen Pixmaps Setting up tile and stipple cache: 32 128x128 slots 13 256x256 slots 5 512x512 slots (II) RADEON(0): Acceleration enabled (==) RADEON(0): Backing store disabled (==) RADEON(0): Silken mouse enabled (II) RADEON(0): Using hardware cursor (scanline 1052) (II) RADEON(0): Largest offscreen area available: 1408 x 1923 (**) Option dpms (**) RADEON(0): DPMS enabled (II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled /snip I changed the depth to 16 and I no longer get the memory error plus I see: (II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering enabled However, when I look in glxinfo, I still have direct rendering: No. What is necessary to get this to work?

Re: opengl, ati radeon mobility m7
XFree seems to load the radeon drivers. From the log: (II) ATI: ATI driver (version 6.5.5) for chipsets: ati, ativga (II) R128: Driver for ATI Rage 128 chipsets: [list] (II) RADEON: Driver for ATI Radeon chipsets: ATI Radeon QD (AGP), [list] ATI Radeon Mobility M7 LW (AGP), [list] It seems to identify the right device/driver: (II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0 (II) ATI: Candidate Device section ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]. (--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device (--) Chipset ATI Radeon Mobility M7 LW (AGP) found And then later it seems to load the radeon driver: (II) Loading sub module radeon (II) LoadModule: radeon (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.o (II) Module radeon: vendor=The XFree86 Project compiled for 4.3.0.1, module version = 4.0.1 Module class: XFree86 Video Driver ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.6 So, unless I misunderstand the log, I'm using the radeon driver.
