How can I find which one? Neither YaST nor Apt return me a match for the radeon_drv.o file...

In an SUSE 10.0 environment you will find the driver as /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.o and the DRI module is located in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/radeon_dri.so

[...]

I think there's more than just that. With my old setup I had:

godoy@jupiter:~> locate radeon /lib/modules/2.6.13.2-2-smp/kernel/drivers/char/drm/radeon.ko /lib/modules/2.6.13.2-2-smp/kernel/drivers/video/aty/radeonfb.ko /usr/include/linux/radeonfb.h /usr/lib/directfb-0.9.22/gfxdrivers/libdirectfb_radeon.la /usr/lib/directfb-0.9.22/gfxdrivers/libdirectfb_radeon.so /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i586-linux-thread-multi/linux/radeonfb.ph /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.1.0/vidix/radeon_vid.so /usr/share/sax/profile/radeon /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/radeon_dri.so /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.o godoy@jupiter:~>

With the new setup, after my upgrade with YaST and the 5 CD set:

godoy@jupiter:~> locate radeon /lib/modules/2.6.14-rc5-git5-20051027163336-smp/kernel/drivers/char/drm/radeon.ko /lib/modules/2.6.14-rc5-git5-20051027163336-smp/kernel/drivers/video/aty/radeonfb.ko /usr/include/linux/radeonfb.h /usr/lib/directfb-0.9.23/gfxdrivers/libdirectfb_radeon.la /usr/lib/directfb-0.9.23/gfxdrivers/libdirectfb_radeon.so /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i586-linux-thread-multi/linux/radeonfb.ph /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.1.0/vidix/radeon_vid.so /usr/share/sax/profile/radeon /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/radeon_dri.so godoy@jupiter:~>

O.k., the *main* driver "radeon_drv.o" file isn't there. That's for sure ...

Is it possible that this is a packaging problem with xorg-x11-Mesa (this is the package that provides the radeon_dri.so file above)?

No, I don't think so. It might be more a problem of xorg-x11-server. This RPM usually contains all the *_drv.o files.

I can't. ;-) If I don't solve that, I'll have this crappy image on my notebook... :-) If I decide going back to the older kernel, I'd have problems with ACPI...

BTW: Which version of (open)SUSE are you using ? Maybe I missed that ... Never give up ! Best regards, Reinhard.

OK.

10.1 Alpha2. My xorg-x11-server is at version 6.8.2-109.

With 10.0-GM it is 6.8.1-100.2 You might need to file a bug in bugzilla ... Never give up ! Best regards, Reinhard.

My problem with X after updating to 10.1 Alpha2 was not with fontconfig, but with the lack of the 'radeon' driver... Is this the correct place to find out what to do?

10.1 Alpha2. My xorg-x11-server is at version 6.8.2-109. 10.1 Alpha2 xorg-x11-server 6.8.2-107 I will update to 109 and see...

Hi, the result: installation broken. I tried to update via YaST (update if newer version available), but lot's of packages YaST wanted to update was not available. Midway in the update the X-server died and also YaST, rendering the system in an unuseable state. So I deleted the partition: in the end all my tries to make Linux (SuSE 9.3,10.0,10.1a[12], Fedora4, Debian testing) work on my laptop failed. I think it is build for windows, it works with windows, so I will use windows on it. -- mdc

Same problem here this weekend. I went back to 10.0... :-( I'll give a try later, when I have less things from work. -- Jorge Godoy
