[Bug 8840] no DRI with sis760 and agp card...
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8840 --- Comment #4 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-08-10 10:30 PST --- Just wanted to add that the problem still exists as of kernel 2.6.21.5 (I believe the problem lies in the sis-agp kernel module, not the x.org agp driver). A million thanks to Alex Deucher for the workaround. It was very discouraging to get a brand new motherboard this week and not be able to use my Radeon 7000 to its full potential, but the PCI workaround is exactly what I needed to get back that missing functionality! -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8840 --- Comment #1 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-06-20 14:49 PST --- Just a note to say that this issue is still present in kernel 2.6.20 in Gentoo. I'm a Gentoo user, but I opened the bug in Ubuntu's launchpad, https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/34144 . I encountered the problem when using Ubuntu to install Gentoo. On Gentoo, I initially did not have the problem of agpgart misidentifying the agp aperture as 4M instead of 128M (set in BIOS) and the consequence that the radeon driver reports that agp could not bind so no DRI. I believe things changed when the device ids for SIS 760 were added to the vanilla kernel and then the Gentoo sources from the Ubuntu kernel where they were first. When my SIS chipset was identified generically, it would be recognized by agpgart during boot as having a 128M aperture, which is correct. AND DRI worked. When the chip is identified as SIS 760, the result is incorrect - 4M aperture. In order to test this theory, I attempted to patch my current kernel ( 2.6.20-gentoo-r8) by commenting out the lines added to amd64-agp.c that mention SIS 760, in the hope that it would then fall back to the generic detection. But unfortunately this did not work. So I don't know. It's quite possible that I did something wrong. Anyway, I'm just hoping to draw some attention to this still-unresolved issue in the hopes of being able to use the DRI capabilities of my radeon 9250 card once again.

I wasn't aware that PCI mode was a possibility. :) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
