After emerging x11-base/x11-drm-20071019, DRI is lost. glxinfo reports that DRI is not enabled. Switching back to x11-base/x11-drm-20070314 restores DRI. This happens on my i845G, as well as the 945gma as reported in the forums - see http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-4414160.html?sid=40c892730b1dc7f4b8ab85f8dff0ecb9 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge x11-base/x11-drm-20071019 2. No DRI
Same error for me using a 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) II) intel(0): [DRI] installation complete (II) intel(0): [drm] dma control initialized, using IRQ 16 (II) intel(0): direct rendering: Enabled (II) intel(0): RandR 1.2 enabled, ignore the following RandR disabled message.

This is definitely not x11@ if it's x11-drm, not sure why wolf changed assignment.
On My Notebook i have the same Problem. This ist my Graphic Kontroller: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03) With the old Version: x11-base/x11-drm-20070314 it works.
Same problem here, and also same solution: go backwards to x11-drm-20070314. 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)
Same problem Here. Tested on HP Pavilion DV1660: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) DRI works only with x11-drm-20070315
Same problem here on laptops with intel cards x11-base/x11-drm-20070314 dri works x11-base/x11-drm-20071019 dri broken, following error in xorg.log: (EE) intel(0): Could not initialize the DRM memory manager. However 1 of the laptops here has a newer model intel card which is not recognized by x11-base/x11-drm-20070314, but is recognized by the newer x11-base/x11-drm-20071019. Unfortunately this newer version is broken. It seems Fedora kernels had a similar problem, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=433728 It appears to be fixed by some patch fedora applied. So for me neither version works 20070314 is too old (not recognizing card) and 20071019 has the memory manager problem.
I had the same problem here with an Intel 915GM chipset and xorg-server-1.4.0.90-r3. DRI stopped to work with the current stable x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810-2.1.1 driver when I updated to x11-base/x11-drm-20071019. Now I updated to x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810-2.2.99.903 and DRI works again. So it seems that x11-base/x11-drm-20071019 is only compatible with newer x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810 (2.2 ?) versions.
FTR, upcoming versions of x11-drm will no longer provide Intel drivers (i830 and i915). All work is now done in the kernel directly. Do any of you still have issues with recent kernel and/or recent versions of xf86-video-intel? Ideally, testing xf86-video-intel-2.6.1 on top of a 2.6.28 kernel should yield the best results. Cheers
I have no problem with >=x11-drm-200710-19 since i upgraded to >=xf86-video-intel-2.2.99. I don't think this bug is any longer valid with current versions. (It was just <xf86-video-intel-2.2 wich didn't work with newer ( >=20071019) kernel modules. I didn't test newer in-kernel modules since i don't have any more i915 graphic card since a few month)
This bug is no longer valid with current portage packages, especially with x11-drm no longer containing an intel module. Marking as fixed, as up-to-date systems should be ok.
