That's strange. But try one more thing - copy this radeon_drv from
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers to /lib/modules/<kernel
version>/kernel/drivers/video
Because according to modprobe's man page, by default it will look driver in
/lib/modules/...
So try to copy it and write here, what will modprobe say
First I linked it:
# ls -la /lib/modules/2.6.24-gentoo-r8/kernel/drivers/video/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 144 Jul 17 22:21 .
drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 344 May 14 18:34 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 72 May 14 18:34 backlight
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4291 May 14 18:34 output.ko
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Jul 17 22:21
radeon.so -> /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so
but since that did not work, I copied it:
# ls -la /lib/modules/2.6.24-gentoo-r8/kernel/drivers/video/
total 448
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 176 Jul 17 22:27 .
drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 344 May 14 18:34 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 72 May 14 18:34 backlight
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4291 May 14 18:34 output.ko
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Jul 17 22:21
radeon.so -> /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 448808 Jul 17 07:09 radeon_drv.so
Modprobing either of the two fails with the same error message.
That's because this is not a kernel module.
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device or address)
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device or address)
drmOpenDevice: Open failed
[drm] failed to load kernel module "radeon"
(EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed to open the DRM
[dri] Disabling DRI.
I'm just guessing here, but maybe your kernel is missing DRM support for
your graphics chip.
What's the output of grep -i radeon /boot/config-$(uname -r) ?
