i guess that radeon_drm.h will ship with libdrm

 Not installed on this FU8 system, and not available to yumex.

and it install to
 include/drm. there are 3 copy at least kernel,drm and xf86-video-ati...

 I found the one in xf86-video-radeonhd-1.2.4, and copied it to the src
 tree beside the other .h files, and it built, and I've installed it and
 running it, although not much is changed.  glxgears is still moping along
 at about 875 fps, and glxinfo says no drm?dri.

 But now this exposes a new problem I don't recall in these exact words,
 when I do a startx, it cannot load the kernel radeon module
 (this from the Xorg.0.log)

 (WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering for RN50/RS600/R600 forced on -- This is

 drmOpenDevice: Open failed

 (EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed to open the DRM

 So, just for giggles:

 FATAL: Error inserting radeon
 (/lib/modules/2.6.28-rc9/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon.ko): Invalid

 I can also recall not too far back in the 2.6.28-rc cycle, seeing dmesg
 reporting that the firmware for the card had been loaded from
 the /lib/firmware/radeon directory, but that appears to be on the missing
 list too for an rcN or 2.  The firmware is there from previous kernel
 builds, but is no longer being installed by this line of my ./makeit
 script:

 make firmware_install  \

 Which tells me something has changed in the Makefiles or .config's.

 How important is this firmware for the health  well being of an
 HD2400-Pro (rv610) card?

There is no working drm support yet for r6xx/r7xx cards yet.  It will
be released soon.

 From the .config that built this kernel:

 [r...@coyote linux-2.6.28-rc9]# grep FIRMWARE .config
 # CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD is not set
 # CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL is not set

 CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR=firmware
 # CONFIG_DVB_AV7110_FIRMWARE is not set
 # CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID is not set
 CONFIG_FIRMWARE_MEMMAP=y

Looks like you are using some distro-specific patch that separates the
firmware from the radeon drm.

 I can nuke the stuff in /lib/firmware/radeon, and nuke that from the .config
 too I guess.

 The 2.6.28 final kernel does not install those anymore.  And I no longer see
 messages in the boot log indicating it is being loaded either.  I guess the
 answer to Should I? is yes?


for r1xx-r5xx and rs690 you should see something like this in dmesg:
[   39.963571] [drm] Loading RS690/RS740 Microcode

X loads the drm generally so you won't see anything until X starts.
You won't see anything at all if you have an r6xx or r7xx radeon since
they aren't yet supported in the drm.

 Time frame for the release?

Soon.  Just trying to tie up a few loose ends.

 for the health  well being of an HD2400-Pro (rv610) card?

The direct rendering manager (ie. the kernel modules) does not yet
support r600/r700 class chipsets. The highest currrently supported
Radeon card with 3D support and other acceleration is Radeon X1950.

Of course, there _is_ an open driver in development inside AMD
supporting all cards HD 2400 - HD 4870, and the initial release was
originally hoped for Christmas. Read the latest news on Phoronix about
that: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_itempx=Njg2Mw

So you have to hold your breath a little longer, and meanwhile you
have all the outputs working but without any special acceleration
(except that mergedfb mentioned).

I've been poking around in my logs, but they apparently don't go back far 
enough to have the radeon firmware loading report else I'd quote that and 
when it worked for what kernel version.

Can you see anything obviously wrong?  Or suggest a fix?

Thanks muchly.

 What header am I missing?

RADEON_PARAM_NUM_GB_PIPES defined in radon_drm.h, and git repository has it
 one. but tar package seems don't have it.

oops we need to ship it with the driver, i forgot to add it.

Dave


i guess that radeon_drm.h will ship with libdrm

 Not installed on this FU8 system, and not available to yumex.

and it install to
 include/drm. there are 3 copy at least kernel,drm and xf86-video-ati...

 I found the one in xf86-video-radeonhd-1.2.4, and copied it to the src tree
 beside the other .h files, and it built, and I've installed it and running
 it, although not much is changed.  glxgears is still moping along at about
 875 fps, and glxinfo says no drm?dri.

 But now this exposes a new problem I don't recall in these exact words, when I
 do a startx, it cannot load the kernel radeon module
 (this from the Xorg.0.log)

 (WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering for RN50/RS600/R600 forced on -- This is NOT
 officially supported at the hardware level and may cause instability or
 lockups
 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)
 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)
 drmOpenDevice: Open failed
 [drm] failed to load kernel module radeon
 (EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed to open the DRM
 [dri] Disabling DRI.

 So, just for giggles:

 [r...@coyote ~]# modprobe radeon
 WARNING: Error inserting drm
 (/lib/modules/2.6.28-rc9/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko): Invalid argument
 FATAL: Error inserting radeon
 (/lib/modules/2.6.28-rc9/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon.ko): Invalid
 argument

 I can also recall not too far back in the 2.6.28-rc cycle, seeing dmesg
 reporting that the firmware for the card had been loaded from
 the /lib/firmware/radeon directory, but that appears to be on the missing
 list too for an rcN or 2.  The firmware is there from previous kernel builds,
 but is no longer being installed by this line of my ./makeit script:

 make firmware_install  \

 Which tells me something has changed in the Makefiles or .config's.

 How important is this firmware for the health  well being of an HD2400-Pro
 (rv610) card?
