On first starting X (/etc/init.d/xdm start), Direct Rendering is not initialised. Xorg.0.log has: drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (Unknown error 999) drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (Unknown error 999) drmOpenDevice: Open failed drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (Unknown error 999) drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (Unknown error 999) drmOpenDevice: Open failed The net effect is 3d hardware acceleration does not work and I can't play tuxracer :-( On restarting X (/etc/init.d/xdm restart), all is OK. Xorg.0.log has: drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is 6, (OK) drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is 6, (OK) And tuxracer plays fine :-) This problem first appeared after emerging xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

I can also work round this by putting 'radeon' in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6, but I never had to do this before r4. I am using udev (don't know if that's significant)
And before you where using devfs? If so then this is correct behaviour, udev does not autoload modules.
No, before I was using xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3 with udev, and even with r4 the radeon module loads when I start X (otherwise dri still wouldn't work after restarting X).
I can reproduce this using xorg-x11 6.8.2-r1. I am using HAL and DBUS
Please test 6.8.99.3 and get back to us with a report. Reopen the bug then. Thanks!
