BTW, this also means that your X driver doesn't use KMS at all but programs the hardware directly, behind the KMS driver's back. It's pure luck if things don't break badly in that case. :) -- Earthling Michel Dänzer |http://www.vmware.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Looking at the log, I found a message indicating user space was to old. I tried first to update libdrm from git but this was not sufficient. I tried then xf86-video-ati but then faced a problem due to upstream changes xorg-server changes in dri2.h. As a result I cannot test KMS and still get DRI working. KMS seems to solve some laptop internal LVDS versus external screen when undocking problem for me. Do you plan a drop of a more recent X server git build in experimental anytime soon? Or shall I try to build it myself using debian patches as a staring point? -- eric You should definitely try to manage this yourself. Given that the release date for stable is rapidly approaching, and we're already rather strapped for manpower on this team, tracking the bleeding edge and still unfinished software (which radeon KMS most definitely is) remains a very low priority for us at the moment. You'll have a much better time working this out for yourself than waiting for us to deal with it. Good luck! - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
