2.4.20 DRM/DRI issue with Radeon
Hi,
I've since been to dri.sourceforge.net and grabbed the latest drm-kernel source (ver 1.2 for XFree version 4.2) and built and built and installed it. Works fine with that !!. The version of drm-kernel in the kernel source for 2.4.20 is still the 1.1.1 version for some reason. Perhaps they can be merged at some point in the future ?
Thx anyway

I'm stumped, really. Try building it INTO the kernel (ie Y instead of M.) This is what I did and it works. Or maybe you should get XFree86 4.2.1, which is what I have:
XFree86 Version 4.2.1.1 (Debian 4.2.1-4 20021123003806 [email protected]) / X Window System
Hope things work out.

In the 2.4.20 kernel changelog I see comments about having consistent DRM modules with XFree4.2.0. I have a Radeon Mobility M6 LY in a Dell laptop and would like to get DRI working. Whenever I use any 2.4.*(including 2.4.20) kernel I get the following messages in/var/log/XFree86.0.log, and DRM is not enabled. Is this supposed to be working in 2.4.20 ? I am using a Mandrake 8.2 system (except for the kernel).

Works for me.
Debian GNU/Linux unstable distributionYou did enable radeon DRM drivers in the kernel config right? For your chipset and for the Radeon, right?
Well, yes. I'm getting VERSION CONFLICT messages, and not that there is no radeon.o module. For the record, what I get from dmesg is
Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 203M
agpgart: Detected Intel i830M chipset
agpgart: AGP aperture is 256M @0xd0000000[drm] AGP 0.99 on Unknown @0xd0000000256MB [drm] Initialized radeon 1.1.1 20010405 on minor 0FWIW I have in the kernel
/dev/agpgartset to Module
I830M support set to Yes
Build old DRM 4.0 drivers set to No
DRM 4.1 ATI Radeon set to ModuleSo the version of the kernel module is 1.1.1 20010405 (with 2.4.19, AND 2.4.20) , yet the XFree86 drivers need 1.2.* as per the original message in the XFree86.0.log. Why is the kernel using 1.1.1 and not 1.2.* ?
Thx
