You don't need the dri-trunk packages for the r128 driver, DRI has been working with that since 4.1.0. The DRM in the kernel might still be too old for 4.2.0 though... > When I compile the modules, I can't install the drm-trunk-modules because > they are attempting to overwrite those that the kernel put in place. > So I've tried it without kernel support for DRM and the rage128 but that > didn't work either. ... which this addresses adequately. > (WW) R128(0): Static buffer allocation failed -- need at least 9216 kB > video memory This is the problem. The amount of video RAM you have only allows for the DRI to be enabled at a lower virtual resolution or depth. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast
