I am experiencing a similar problem with a Radeon 7570 card (PCI identifier 675D). This PCI identifer is found in various tables in xserver-xorg-video-radeon so presumably it is intended that this card be supported.
Configuration is the current Wheeezy: Kernel: 3.2.0-2-amd64 xserver-xorg-video-radeon: 6.14.4-5 libdrm-radeon1 & libdrm2: 2.4.33-1 /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d: Does not contain a Device section. The startup of X fails with the same messages as shown in the log posted by Andrew Bettison radeon_surface_best failed radeon_setup_kernel_mem failed I have tried all the patches in Freedesktop.org bug 43448 in various combinations and the startup of X fails with the same messages with all the combinations that I have tried. I'm not adept at debugging in this environment but I was able (by adding debug output) to track the error messages back a few steps. The message is generated in xserver-xorg-video-radeon source file radeon_kms.c by a call to radeon_surface_best(). It in turn is in libdrm source file radeon_surface.c and calls (in the same source file) static int radeon_surface_sanity(struct radeon_surface_manager *surf_man, struct radeon_surface *surf, unsigned type, unsigned mode) where the following test returns -EINVAL: if (surf_man == NULL || surf_man->surface_init == NULL || surf == NULL) { return -EINVAL; I don't know the source code at all so I am not able to trace any further back. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
