Radeon/xkeyboard error when starting X server

Hello.

How can I fix the following errors that I get when I'm starting X.

(WW) RADEON(0): Failed to set up write-combining range (0xe8000000,0x1000000)
(EE) RADEON(0): Static buffer allocation failed. Disabling DRI.
(EE) RADEON(0): At least 17325 KB of video memory needed at this resolution and depth.
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Error:          bad length in CompatMap
>                 Output file "/var/tmp/server-0.xkm" removed
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
(EE) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap


I have found out that the RADEON thing might be a MTRR related problem. I havent found a solution to that however.

My grafix card is a Radeon mobile 7500, with 16MB ram.

The xkeyboard error is not present when I'm starting X as root.

This is my xorg.conf file

Re: Radeon/xkeyboard error when starting X server

DRI should be enabled (at the very end) and GLX should be commented out (I think, but I could be wrong.)

Re: Radeon/xkeyboard error when starting X server

Also, enable the video RAM option and set it to a proper number. I think XOrg has some issues with ATI cards when you don't specify the video RAM size (as well as other issues).

Re: Radeon/xkeyboard error when starting X server

From the error message, you need 17 MB of RAM to have DRI.  You don't have enough video RAM for DRI.

Re: Radeon/xkeyboard error when starting X server

Did get two of the errors sorted by setting defaultdepth 16 in xorg.conf.

(WW) RADEON(0): Failed to set up write-combining range (0xe8000000,0x1000000)

The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Error:          bad length in CompatMap
>                 Output file "/var/tmp/server-0.xkm" removed
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
(EE) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap

The most important thing to sort out is the xkeyboard error.

That error came after doing the following sysupgrade.
As mentioned before, it only applies for users, not root.
