Hello

I am so tired of trying to get drm to work. Why does it have to be so hard? Anyway, I have an old Compaq deskpro that I am trying to setup.

I have emerged xorg-x11 with insecure-drivers, I have emerged x11-drm, I have agpgart, intel_agp, drm modules loaded. I have done
Code:
opengl-update xorg-x11

I have the following in my xorg conf:
Code:

Section "Module"
  Load "dri"
  Load "glx"
....
EndSection
...
Section "Device"
   Identifier "card0"
   Driver "ati"
   ChipSet "ati"
   VendorName "ATI"
   BoardName "3D Rage Pro AGP 1X/2X"
  ChipId 0x4742
  ChipRev 0x5c
  BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "DRI"
  Mode 0666
EndSection


But it doesn't work. No errors in Xorg.0.log. glxinfo says no direct rendering. Anybody got any ideas? I am so tired of this. One occasion when I want linux to work the same way as windows.

ok, trying to do a manual probe of the mach64 module gives me:
Code:

# modprobe mach64
FATAL: Error inserting mach64 (/lib/modules/2.6.13-gentoo-r5/x11-drm/mach64.ko): unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)


dmesg says:
Code:

mach64: Unknown symbol drm_cleanup_pci


Any ideas?

Right, the mach64 module was complaning because I had DRM compiled as a module in the kernel, and x11-drm installs its own DRM module. Removed DRM from the kernel, compiled, install, reboot. Now mach64 installs. Now, however, DRI won't work because apparently I have too high a resolution (1024x768!) I found the same problem here : [url]https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-352109-highlight-dri+static+buffer+allocation.html

So at 800x600, hooray, direct rendering works. But what use is that? :( What a waste of two hours.
