x11-drm: mach64 DRI not loading - version mismatch

Message

K T A · Post by **K T A** » Mon Jun 04, 2007 11:31 am

Hello,

I try to get dri running on a rather old box with a ATI mach64 card. I have to use x11-drm to get the drm kernel module, and I had to unmask the latest x11-base/x11-drm to compile with the gentoo-sources-2.6.21-r2. I can modprobe the mach64 module fine but but when stating X dri is not loaded because of a version mismatch:

Code: Select all

(EE) ATI(0): [dri] ATIDRIScreenInit failed because of a version mismatch.
[dri] mach64.o kernel module version is 2.0.0, but version 1.0 or greater is needed.
[dri] Disabling DRI.

HUH?

version 2.0.0 is greater 1.0 is it not?

I'm lost here, any ideas?

Thanks

KTA

*bump*

No ideas? More data needed? Just shoot...

Did you compile x11-drm with the same version of GCC as your kernel? Also, which version of xorg-server are you running?

Hey thanks for the reply!

Also, which version of xorg-server are you running?

I'm running xorg-server-1.2.0-r3 I unmasked the 1.3.0.0 version but it did not change the problem (but gave another, unrelated one) so I'm back to 1.2.0-r3 now.

Did you compile x11-drm with the same version of GCC as your kernel?

In fact I did not! It is fresh install and the kernel was build before I updated to the latest gcc. Thanks for the tip, I'll check if this will solve the problem.

I have the same problem. I think that is a bug in libdri package.

I didn't solve problem. The same on ubuntu.

Well, I'm sorry I did not put "SOLVED" in the topic. I found the cause of my problem. It seems it was my fault - during xorgconfig the memory of my card was set to 16 mb but it has only 8 mb and the driver needs at least 12 mb to initialize the dri module...

So U didn't get it to work with dri?

K T A · Post by **K T A** » Fri Jul 13, 2007 5:00 pm

No, sorry... but you may. What card exactly do you have?

This shity working card is in the old fashion compaq armada e500 laptop. Some kind of: Ati Rage LT Pro with 8 MB RAM, 2x AGP. On lspci I'v:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility P/M AGP 2x (rev 64)

As I know the there is the security problem within mach64.ko module. So it isn't build default in every distros.

I see, but with only 8 MB I guess you have to give up and be content with 2d acceleration

Actually, you can do DRI with 6mb on a mach64, just run 1024 x 768 in 16bit color. Up until I upgraded my kernel from 2.6.19 to 2.6.21 I had it working perfectly, now I'm running up against build problems with x11-drm-20060608, and the version mismatch with x11-drm-20070314. Me and my lil iMac are not happy.

Thanks for the tip. I am going to try the radeon driver since the wiki mention its working for mach64 too...

Bah, those instructions require building x11-drm... so that's no help.

rewtstyle · Post by **rewtstyle** » Mon Aug 20, 2007 2:03 am

I solved this by unmasking and emerging x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.6.193

My video card is 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage Pro AGP 1X/2X (rev 5c)
Now i only wish i had that extra 4mb memory module so that i could use dri in resolutions over 800x600@16

Good luck!
