to begin, on this new version of xfree i have emerged the latest xfree-drm and ati-drivers. when i run /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 -configure it gives me a driver listing and then the error: Duplicate symbol def_gamma in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.o Also defined in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.o So i am unable to automaticly generate a configuration file.. fine my old one still works well enough.. my next beef is with Direct Rendering: dragnet@mojo-jo-jo dragnet $ glxinfo | grep direct direct rendering: No OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect a no go: ok, lets look at why: (II) RADEON(0): [drm] failure adding irq handler, there is a device already using that irq [drm] falling back to irq-free operation (II) RADEON(0): [drm] Kernel module too old (1.1) for agp heap manager YIKES. does anyone know why im getting this strange behavior? i may just end up downgrading. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Direct Rendering doesn't work Expected Results: I want direct rendering to work so i can play games!!!!!
you didn't configure X correctly IF you want to use ati-drivers you have to use the custom configuration utility IF you want to use dri you have to UNMERGE ati-drivers I thought I have set a provide on it but probably I'm wrong
Created attachment 11449 [details, diff] Fix compilation without 3DNow! support on xfree-4.3.0-r2 ebuild. Similar patches may be advisable for the MMX/SSE/Katmai support?
Comment on attachment 11449 [details, diff] Fix compilation without 3DNow! support on xfree-4.3.0-r2 ebuild. ?? this patch is for the "3DNOW" compilation error, but when I submitted it, bugzilla threw an error, sorry about this :(
Tom, how's that related to this bug?
tom?
(the 3DNow! patch does *not* belong with this bug, it's for 20273, don't know how it ended up on this one but bugzilla was throwing "internal server error" pages, I've notified the site admin about the problem - sorry about that)
dragnet could you tell me if you got a correct situation following my advices?
dragnet??
Heh, sorry i have been neglecting this thread due to girl distractions :)))))) uh.. yesh (as goldmember says) i got things working ok.. i did have to unmerge ati-drivers, thank you for that advice.. aswell the people in #xfree86@freenode helped me through this.. i was using the xfree-drm for an older xfree i think.. chiao -dragnet "It's better to burn out than to fade away" --kurt cobain
