I am using the (modular) xorg 7.1 builds on an Thinkpad T42 laptop that has a Mobility Radeon 9600 chip in it, and on a desktop machine with a Radeon 9000. DRI fails completely on the 9600, but on the 9000, both DRI, and AIGLX (appear to) work flawlessly. It also works with xorg 7.0, and I have not tested it with 6.8, XFree86, KDrive, or anything else. The only nonstandard ebuilds I am using at time are except for the kernel (which includes gensplash, suspend2, and the most recent HDAPS drive parking patch from thinkwiki.org and not the standard gentoo patches), yaird, some HDAPS related utilities, the biometric stuff and a few meta packages. dmesg shows nothing video related beyond "loading r300 microcode." glxinfo prints the followin to stderr: libGL warning: 3D driver returned no fbconfigs. libGL error: InitDriver failed libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering kernel is a patched 2.6.16.16 x11-drm is version 20051223 My "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" is: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "X.org Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mice" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "TouchPad" "AlwaysCore" EndSection Section "Files" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/TTF" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Type1" EndSection Section "Module" Load "glx" Load "extmod" Load "xtrap" Load "record" Load "dbe" Load "dri" Load "freetype" Load "type1" EndSection Section "DRI" Group "video" Mode 0660 EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XKbModel" "thinkpad" Option "XKbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mice" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "TouchPad" Driver "synaptics" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "SHMConfig" "on" Option "UpDownScrolling" "on" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "IBM" ModelName "ThinkPad T42 Panel" DisplaySize 287.86666666666666666666666666667 215.9 Option "DPMS" "True" EndSection Section "Device" ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False", ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz" ### [arg]: arg optional #Option "NoAccel" # [<bool>] #Option "SWcursor" # [<bool>] Option "BusType" "AGP" #Option "CPPIOMode" # [<bool>] #Option "CPusecTimeout" # <i> Option "AGPMode" "x8" Option "AGPFastWrite" "True" #Option "AGPSize" # <i> #Option "GARTSize" # <i> #Option "RingSize" # <i> #Option "BufferSize" # <i> Option "EnableDepthMoves" "True" Option "EnablePageFlip" "True" #Option "NoBackBuffer" # [<bool>] #Option "DMAForXv" # [<bool>] #Option "FBTexPercent" # <i> #Option "PanelOff" # [<bool>] #Option "DDCMode" # [<bool>] Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS,NONE" #Option "IgnoreEDID" # [<bool>] Option "UseFBDev" "True" #Option "MergedFB" # [<bool>] #Option "CRT2HSync" # [<str>] #Option "CRT2VRefresh" # [<str>] #Option "CRT2Position" # [<str>] #Option "MetaModes" # [<str>] #Option "MergedDPI" # [<str>] #Option "MergedXinerama" # [<bool>] #Option "MergedXineramaCRT2IsScreen0" # [<bool>] #Option "MergedNonRectangular" # [<bool>] #Option "MergedMouseRestriction" # [<bool>] #Option "DisplayPriority" # [<str>] #Option "PanelSize" # [<str>] #Option "ForceMinDotClock" # <freq> #Option "ColorTiling" # [<bool>] #Option "VideoKey" # <i> #Option "RageTheatreCrystal" # <i> #Option "RageTheatreTunerPort" # <i> #Option "RageTheatreCompositePort" # <i> #Option "RageTheatreSVideoPort" # <i> #Option "TunerType" # <i> #Option "RageTheatreMicrocPath" # <str> #Option "RageTheatreMicrocType" # <str> Option "RenderAccel" "False" Option "SubPixelOrder" "RGB" #Option "ShowCache" # [<bool>] Option "DynamicClocks" "True" #Option "BIOSHotkeys" # [<bool>] #Option "VGAAccess" # [<bool>] #Option "ReverseDDC" # [<bool>] Option "LVDSProbePLL" "True" Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" Identifier "Card0" Driver "ati" VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc" BoardName "RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 1 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 4 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 8 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 15 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 16 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection

I had a similar problem here on my machine with a Radeon IGP 330M/340M/350M card. After I re-emerged all deps of x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.6.0 (these are the packages x11-proto/fontsproto-2.0.2, x11-proto/randrproto-1.1.2, x11-proto/videoproto-2.2.2, x11-proto/xextproto-7.0.2, x11-proto/xineramaproto-1.1.2, x11-proto/xf86miscproto-0.9.2, x11-proto/xproto-7.0.5, x11-proto/xf86driproto-2.0.3, x11-libs/libdrm-2.0.1), and the driver itself, DRI is back on.
I am sad to say that your fix does not work in this case. On further examination I found that glxinfo prints the following with LIBGL_DEBUG set to verbose: name of display: :0.0 libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 4.0.3 r300 (screen 0) libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/dri/r300_dri.so drmOpenByBusid: Searching for BusID pci:0000:01:00.0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is 4, (OK) drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns 4 drmOpenByBusid: drmGetBusid reports pci:0000:01:00.0 libGL error: R300 DRI driver expected DRM version 1.24.x but got version 1.20.0 libGL warning: 3D driver returned no fbconfigs. libGL error: InitDriver failed libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: No My guess is the issue has to do with the kernel being based on 2.6.16.16. It would seem that the x11-drm package needs to be updated. The latest CVS drm modules seem to work fine, AIGLX included (in that KInfoCenter, which usually displays Mesa Indirect Rendering even with DRI working says its accelerated.)
Have you tried a 2.6.17 release candidate yet? It may have the updated DRM version you need, and it'll probably be out quite soon...
=x11-base/x11-drm-20060608 works. And it's now in the official portage tree. :) I suppose I should set this as "fixed" now.
