RadeonHD/Xorg/DRI Issues after Update

Hi,

Some days ago I did an update to the new Kernel (2.6.30.6-1 -> 2.6.31.3-1) and since then I don't get full 3D acceleration anymore.

I have a hd3870 and use the radeonhd driver, which has perfectly worked before the update. What could be causing this?

This should be an interesting part of my Xorg logfile:

Did you recompiled the driver after updating the kernel?

Nope but I'm using the standard xf86-video-radeonhd, ati-dri and libdrm from extra.

Try reinstalling the driver.
If it doesn't work try the git-version from AUR.
I'm using them so I don't really know if the maintainer of teh extra version already recompiled the driver against teh new kernel.

Probably that's the problem. There was no driver update since the new kernel was out. I'll give it some days...

On my system, that kernel upgrade made /dev/dri/card0 and friends go away entirely, which explains the error messages. Now, why the /dev/dri/card0 dev node is gone is beyond me.

Re: RadeonHD/Xorg/DRI Issues after Update

Same problem here with a HD4350. The /dev/dri directory doesn't exists.
Is there any solution?

EDIT:
For those who are interested, the solution is gave here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI#Disable_KMS
