Hello all,

I am anticipating a move to the 2.6.1 kernel and am wondering if there was any success in getting the Mobility video cards working with DRI in the 2.6.1 kernel. I have seen many topics covering all of this, but I did not see anything referencing the 2.6.1 kernel. It was a pain to get it working with 2.4, and was hoping that there has been some progress in getting it working quickly (ha) and smoothly (ha, ha) in the 2.6.1 stuff. So, has there been success, and is any of it documented?

Thanks,
Tony

Yes, it's actually pretty smooth and easy...

Here are most of the details:
http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314

If you have your xFree patched already, you can either use the stock 2.6.1 kernel and make radeon.ko from the xfree tree, or you can apply the small patch from the bug above (labeled "My change to attachement #540 for 2.6.0-test6") and use the radeon.ko module from the kernel (simpler).

Works great for me. Even got AA:O 2.0a running on my laptop (doesn't look great though).

Cheers,
André

Yes.

I have a Fujitsu laptop that runs the IGP 320M and I'm using the 2.6.1 (gentoo-dev-sources) kernel with the beta XFree 4.3.99 cvs snapshot. I followed the instructions on post 2 on page 2 of this thread https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=47858&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=25

I hate to ask this, but did you search this forum? All I did when I had the same question was searched for "igp 320m" and found the big howto thread.
