Overview: I wanted DRM for xfree on my SiS card on my laptop. xfree-drm-4.3.0-r4 emerged perfectly, but loading of the module fails. I have a SIS630 on-board on my laptop. Reproduction: - Set sis USE flag in /etc/make.conf - Set DRM to off in kernel (this was in the HW 3D Accel guide on gentoo site) - Recompile kernel with that option and boot - emerge xfree-drm-4.3.0-r4 - Add 'Load "dri"' and Load "glx"' to Module section in /etc/X11/XF86Config - Configure Video - insmod sis or start your X server output from qpkg -v -I xfree: x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r3 * x11-base/xfree-drm-4.3.0-r4 * Results: Using /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r5/kernel/drivers/char/drm/sis.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r5/kernel/drivers/char/drm/sis.o: unresolved symbol sis_free /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r5/kernel/drivers/char/drm/sis.o: unresolved symbol sis_malloc When starting X: ... drmOpenDevice: minor is 0 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 drmOpenDevice: minor is 0 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 "agpgart" [drm] failed to load kernel module "sis" (II) SIS(0): [drm] drmOpen failed (EE) SIS(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed.

Expected Results: lsmod to show loaded sis module and XFree having HW 3D Accel :-) Build Date & Platform: 2.4.20-gentoo-r5 built on Mon Jun 30 23:05:29 CEST 2003 i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) Additional Builds & Platforms: None known to work or not work, sorry :-( The output from emerge info, my XF86Config en relevant kernel config are located at the URL above. Thank you in advance for your time and effort.
I'll second this. Just set it up now and have exactly the same problems using gaming-sources-2.4.20-r5 The only difference is that I dont get the drmOpenDevice messages. Just the sis.o driver fails to load. This seems consistent with the sis driver from the kernel source.
Please try both -r3 and -r5 (currently KEYWORDS="-*" ) and see whether they work. Also, the sis drivers are beta; we have to uncomment them in the Makefile to even compile them, so issues are somewhat expected but one would hope they'd compile. Thanks.
-r3 and -r5 both did not work for me. Neither did grabbing the CVS source and compiling that way. All resulted in the same unresolved symbols errors.
http://www.winischhofer.net/sisdri.shtml This link may be of assistance in your quest to get SiS DRI working. It seems you may actually *need* the sis framebuffer driver, rather than avoiding it as with most cards.
To quote that site "... do only select SiS 300/630 support, not SiS 315 (unless your machine has a 315/550/650/740, but in this case the whole thing doesn't make sense as DRI is not supported on the 310/325 series...)." I have a SiS650 in my laptop that I was trying this on, so I cant really test it any futher.
Ok, that site really worked for me (www.winischhofer.net). I now have DRI functional under X, only glxinfo says it's still not working (Direct Rendering: no). Any last hints on that problem?

Looking good eh? The catch: Enable Framebuffer support for SIS 630/540/730 in kernel. This will then make the symbols required by the sis xfree-drm driver available. Also make sure you have LOTS of video memory. It put mine from 4MB to 32MB. Then you have to put the framebuffer config parameter in your bootloader, in my case video=sisfb:mode:1024x768x16,mem:12288 The last part (mem:12288) was taken from the site mentioned above. Details: http://simon.dehartog.nl/bug23804/ , which contain kernel-config, X config, emerge.info, complete XFree86 startup log and glxinfo output. Can this bug now be marked closed? This was my first bug report in bugzilla...
The glxinfo problem is unique to the weird things you have to do with sis, as far as I know. I'm going to close this, and let me know if you have any more trouble with this.
