Description Marcelo Borges Ribeiro 2004-03-26 17:29:45 UTC
I can't get ati-driver loading, I think it is a problem with agpgart, I used with kernel 2.6 the ati internel agpgart but it stoped working with this version of ati-drivers (the kernel version of agpgart never worked for me). I'm using kernel-sources from kernel.org (I used emerge inject development-sources-2.6.4), but when I tried to emerge -u ati-drivers It always tried to emeger gentoo-source 2.4.x, I disabled this in ati-drivers ebuild. I have an asus a7v8x-x mb.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge -u ati-drivers
2.startx
3.

Actual Results:  
cat /var/log/XFree86.0.log | grep EE 
         (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. 
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER 
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER 
(EE) fglrx(0): [agp] unable to acquire AGP, error "xf86_ENODEV" 
(EE) fglrx(0): cannot init AGP 
 

Expected Results:

Comment 1 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-27 12:42:18 UTC
Looks like you enabled the DRM in the kernel at a first glance. Please attach your kernel's .config, output of `lspci -vv` and output of `dmesg` as text files (do _not_ paste them straight into the comments field). Which exact kernel version is this?

Thanks.

dmesg output

I'm not using kernel agpgart (it's compiled as a module but I don't load it,
I'd enabled ati's internal agpgart in XF86Config-4). P.s. I do not have enabled
DRM in kernel.
Comment 5 Luca Barbato gentoo-dev 2004-03-28 09:22:48 UTC
on 2.6 you should use external agpgart.

Comment 7 Marcelo Borges Ribeiro 2004-04-04 13:58:16 UTC
I installed kernel 2.6.5 and changed to udev (withoutdevfs) and It worked. I don't know what happened if it was udev's or kernel's. Another issue, every time I run wine my video turns off, to fix this only a reset works. If anyone have a clue I will apreciate, thanks a lot.
