I have just finished upgrading from Dapper to Edgy and now 3D
acceleration for my Radeon 9250 graphics card is disabled. I appears
that the kernel DRM module fails to load on startup.
This is what it looks like:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:$ export LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose
[~]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:$ fglrxinfo

Attempting to insert drm module manually:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:$ sudo modprobe drm
Password:
FATAL: Error inserting drm
(/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/kernel/drivers/char/drm/drm.ko): Cannot
allocate memory
I also get the same thing when using the Open Source ATI drivers. DRI is
disabled as well so no 3D acceleration.
AGP seems to work properly:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:$ dmesg |grep -i AGP
[17179589.168000] Linux agpgart interface v0.101 (c) Dave Jones
[17179589.172000] agpgart: Detected VIA P4M266x/P4N266 chipset
[17179589.180000] agpgart: AGP aperture is 128M @ 0xe0000000
It's possible that this is related to a bug reported here:
http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2002-50/1176.html
I don't have any of the fancy compiz/beryl stuff installed so this is
not a very high priority for me. I would like to get my 3D acceleration
working again so that I can work with Blender.
My hardware setup:
Motherboard: ECS P4VMM2 (this is 1st revision motherboard I think)
Memory: 1GB
Graphics card: PowerColor 9250 (Radeon 9250)
It seems that it's not ATI's fault this time because the DRM module is
part of the kernel tree and the fglrx module depends on this module.
