Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0-7
I have an interesting problem trying to get DRI working on my Radeon
9000, with kernel 2.6.4.
If I don't configure the agp bus by inserting the correct modules into
the kernel, X starts and works, however, it fails to initialize DRI,
and I get the following messages in my kernel log:
[drm:radeon_cp_init] *ERROR* radeon_cp_init called without lock held
[drm:radeon_unlock] *ERROR* Process 802 using kernel context 0
X works fine, but Direct Rendering: No in glxinfo.
If I configure the agp bus by inserting the agp driver (via-agp),
as X starts, the computer completely dies. By which I mean, the screen
goes black and shuts off, and the computer is unresponsive on the
network. There is no indications in any logs, and it seems impossible
to capture any information from the output of X (nothing gets printed
in the split second before the monitor gets shut off).
I have tried various combinations of arguments to the radeon driver in
the X configration, tried diddling options in bios, and the behavior
is always the same.
I note that It does the same thing when I don't insert the proper agp
module but do specify ForcePCIMode in the driver.
The important section of XF86Config-4:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Radeon 9000"
Driver "radeon"
BusId "1:0:0"
EndSection
This is what I'm currently using (without DRI), and it behaves the same with m
any other arguments that I have tried (I should've kept track of
these, but various things turing off fastness, turning on fastness,
etc).
