Re: i855gm: no dri - DRIScreenInit failed

What kernel modules do you have loaded (intel_agp etc) ?
Does drm start without errors in dmesg ?
What about warnings (WW) in xorg log ?

Re: i855gm: no dri - DRIScreenInit failed

dmesg says this:

[drm] Initialized drm 1.0.1 20051102
[drm:drm_fill_in_dev] *ERROR* Cannot initialize the agpgart module.
[drm:drm_fill_in_dev] *ERROR* Cannot initialize the agpgart module.

how can i fix that?

edit:
i found out, that the drm module was loaded before agpgart. changed the order in rc.conf.

MODULES=(agpgart intel-agp drm i915)

now dmesg and glxinfo

$ dmesg | grep drm
[drm] Initialized drm 1.0.1 20051102
[drm] Initialized i915 1.4.0 20060119 on minor 0
[drm] Initialized i915 1.4.0 20060119 on minor 1

$ glxinfo | grep render
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 852GM/855GM 20050225 x86/MMX/SSE2

thanks for your right questions helped me to solve the problem!

Re: i855gm: no dri - DRIScreenInit failed

If you're using module autoloading in /etc/rc.conf adding only intel_agp i915 to the MODULES array should work fine too. The rest - agpgart and drm - should be loaded automatically as dependencies.

I think the reason was not agpgart but intel_agp which was loaded too late. On my system I had previosly only i915 in the MODULES and agpgart and drm where loaded automatically. Only intel_agp was loaded as the last one (via autoloading) which was the cause of the drm error in dmesg.
