Public bug reported:
Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release: 9.10
Just right now I tried out the Karmic Alpha3 LiveCD because I was courios to
checkout Kernel Modesetting for Radeon based cards..
The good thing is, it works :-)
The bad thing is, desktop-effects dont :-(
Looking at my logs I found that KMS was enabled correct, I added to boot
radeon.modeset=1
- 2009-08-06 18:34:07 ubuntu kernel [ 43.548950] [drm] radeon
kernel modesetting enabled.
looking in my xorg.log I found these three lines after eachother, that
would lead to why desktop-effects dont work..
- Error RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed because of a version
mismatch.
- Information [dri] radeon.o kernel module version is 2.0.0 but
version 1.17.0 or newer is needed.
- Information [dri] Disabling DRI.
But look at the 2nd line........ hmmmmmm ??? 2.0.0 is newer than 1.17.0
and because of this it disables dri..
