 Posted: Thu Jul 31, 2003 5:59 pm Post subject: DRI/DRM in Kernel 2.6.0-test2? |
 |
|
I've been trying to get direct rendering in kernel 2.6.0-test2 without much success. I am using the kernel DRI support, with the appropriate driver for my card (Rage Mobility M3). I've found that emerging xfree-drm does not work with the 2.6 kernels. When I run glxinfo, I get this:
| Code: | $ glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: No
|
I am also reasonably sure it's not a problem in my XF86Config file, but here are the relevant parts:
| Code: |
Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
Load "type1"
Load "speedo"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
Load "synaptics"
Load "extmod"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Rage Mobility"
VendorName "Generic"
Driver "r128"
VideoRam 16384
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
BoardName "r128"
Option "DPMS"
Option "AGPMode" "1"
Option "UseCCEFor2D" "false"
EndSection
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
|
I already tried starting at 24, 16, and 8 bit color depth, but get the same glxinfo output regardless of which color depth I start with.
Has anyone got DRI/DRM going with the 2.6-test kernels?

I believe that in kernels 2.6+ a sufficent DRM manager is available within the kernel. All you have to do is:
| Code: | Character Devices -->
<*> /dev/agpgart (AGP support) # or module, whatever
[*] your chipset
[*] Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 DRI support)
<*> your video chipset |
Then just recompile the kernel. Reboot and run glxinfo. You shout see:
direct rendering: Yes
I hope that helps. I'm able to run NWN just fine using that method.
Good Luck |

As it turned out, I already had those options enabled in my kernel as modules. Just for grins, I tried compiling my kernel with those options set up as modules (what I already had) and also with the DRM options directly compiled into the kernel. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to help at all. I'm getting the same output from glxinfo as I did before.
I have a Rage Mobility M3 in my laptop, using the r128 driver from the 2.6 kernel. I see that I neglected to make this clear in my original post.

Strangely enough, I tried compiling support for agpgart DRM as modules and I lost direct rendering in glxinfo.
Something fishy is going on! Try compiling them into the kernel instead of modules. |

I tried compiling the DRM options directly into the kernel already. No luck.

 I have this same problem, same chipset.
Why isn't there clearer information about the 2.6 kernels? What to do for DRM, ALSA, and PCMCIA? It is so confusing for me!
Do you have an ereaser pointer on your laptop?
