[SOLVED] Custom kernel 2.6.17 + ATI drivers

Husio · 2006-09-20 12:07:59

Hi,
I'm trying to get DRI, but can't load fglrx. I've read
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI … om_Kernels and
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ATI_Drivers
and done everything like in those howtos. If I set Driver "fglrx" X won't work. So I've made new kernel with some additional modules:

Device Drivers -->
Graphics support -->
<M> Support for frame buffer devices
<*> Enable firmware EDID
<M> ATI Radeon display support
[*] ODC/I2C for ATI Radeon support
[*] Blacklight & LCD device support --> ...

but the problem is still the same.

Here's some of my configs.
xorg_error.log:

I'm using xorg 11R7.0-1, ati-fglrx-utils 8.27.10-3, and my own package ati-fglrx-kickass 8.28.8-1

Well, if you're using ati-fglrx-utils 8.27.10 and the kernel module (ati-fglrx-kickass) 8.28.8 they won't work together. You need utils 8.28.8 as well.

Husio · 2006-09-20 21:12:23

true - now my utils and drivers are the same, now I can run X with fglrx driver, but still - no direct rendering

Okay, well, I'd need to see your new /var/log/Xorg.0.log (probably best to pastebin that one) and the result of

$ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo

to give you an idea why that might be happening.

<M> ATI Radeon display support

do not use this. the radeon fb module has been known to be problematic with fglrx

you seem to have aiglx enabled, it doesn't work with the fglrx driver, you'd better disable it.
Also I think you might need to load an agp driver first

Cerebral · 2006-09-22 15:36:40

As mouse may have noticed, from the log:

# (EE) fglrx(0): [agp] unable to acquire AGP, error "xf86_ENODEV"
# (EE) fglrx(0): cannot init AGP
# (II) fglrx(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel
# (II) fglrx(0): [drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA 0x2000 at 0xb7710000
# (WW) fglrx(0): ***********************************************
# (WW) fglrx(0): * DRI initialization failed!                  *
# (WW) fglrx(0): * (maybe driver kernel module missing or bad) *
# (WW) fglrx(0): * 2D acceleraton available (MMIO)            *
# (WW) fglrx(0): * no 3D acceleration available                *
# (WW) fglrx(0): ********************************************* *

That's your problem. Ensure you have both agp drivers loaded - there's agpgart and your board-specific drivers too. They both need to be loaded _before_ the fglrx kernel module.

To figure out which modules they are, run lsmod | grep agp and put both of them into the /etc/rc.conf MODULES array, before fglrx. If fglrx isn't in that array, put it there too, after the agp modules.

-=edit=- as for the aiglx thing, don't worry about it. It's harmless - I get the same message in my logs and everything works fine. -=/edit=-
