I am stuck trying to get my radeon 9200 based graphics card to work with dri.
I have had it working with a (now destroyed) gentoo setup so I know it is
possible
I have linux 2.6.0 (using the standard debian unstable k7 image)
Xfree 4.3.0 from experimental version as printed in the log
XFree86 Version 4.3.0.1 (Debian 4.3.0-0pre1v5 20031207095205
[EMAIL PROTECTED])
Release Date: 15 August 2003
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6
Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.23-pre6 i686 [ELF]
Build Date: 07 December 2003
lsmod reports the following modules (amongst others) loaded
sis_agp 5760 1
agpgart 32168 1 sis_agp
radeon 118892 0
When it loads up it appears to be going well - with the log reporting the
following
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0
(--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device
(WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found

but a bit later it seems to be starting to go downhill

and a bit later looking positive, but ultimately failing without any clear
