x11 herd, any thoughts? I have a partial solution to the problem. If I deactivate kernel mode setting, then DRI works. The kernel documentation mentions that kernel mode setting is experimental, but it never mentions that it may conflict with DRI. In any case, I would have expected a more useful error message than simply "device node not found". Perhaps this is not a gentoo bug at all. If so, I am sorry for making noise. Is it possible to add an ewarn in the xf86-video-ati or in the gentoo-sources ebuild, such that others are warned? For one i would try to disable radeonfb, since it is not required with KMS, and for second the kms is still highly experimental feature, and the warnings are already written in the kernel option when one enable it. So i dont think it is so mandatory to warn user once more in ebuild. Indeed, radeonfb will prevent KMS from working correctly. No user should enable it. KMS should not conflict with DRI but maybe xf86-video-ati-9999 from the x11 overlay is needed to use this configuration. Please try all that we suggested and get back to us. Thanks Thank you, that did the trick. Deactivating radeonfb transformed the DRI error message to something useful stating a version conflict. Using the xf86-video-ati from x11 overlay then made things working. I was not aware that radeonfb conflicts with KMS, and the kernel documentation did not say anything about this. Thank you very much! Sorry for making so much noise. |
