Matthias, all, Over the weekend, I had some time to work on the radeonhd driver. So far, I'm stumped. A few months ago, radeonhd would not build on Arch Linux. ( See 1/23 - "[radeonhd] latest git update will not build on Arch Linux??" ) Matthias suggested that drm was the issue. So this time I grabbed a fresh copy of drm with git. Then I moved to the r6xx-r7xx-support branch with: git checkout -b r6xx-r7xx-support origin/r6xx-r7xx-support The I did the normal cd drm/linux/core and then 'make' Make exited with the following error: 13:57 alchemy:~/apps/drm/linux-core> make sh ../scripts/create_linux_pci_lists.sh < ../shared-core/drm_pciids.txt make -C /lib/modules/2.6.33-ARCH/build SUBDIRS=`/bin/pwd` DRMSRCDIR=`/bin/pwd` modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.33-ARCH' CC [M] /home/david/apps/drm/linux-core/drm_auth.o In file included from /home/david/apps/drm/linux-core/drmP.h:84:0, from /home/david/apps/drm/linux-core/drm_auth.c:36: /home/david/apps/drm/linux-core/drm_os_linux.h:36:14: error: conflicting types for ‘irqreturn_t’ include/linux/irqreturn.h:16:24: note: previous declaration of ‘irqreturn_t’ was here make[2]: *** [/home/david/apps/drm/linux-core/drm_auth.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [_module_/home/david/apps/drm/linux-core] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.33-ARCH' make: *** [modules] Error 2 I guess I need help understanding whether installing the new drm objects is still a requirement, and (2) if so, how do I fix the error above? I'm anxious to test the radeonhd driver. Whatever kernel changes have been made in the past several kernels has really done wonders for the old 'radeon' driver operation (I works nicely) and the changes have also helped with the heat issues (gpu chipset powerdown when idle). If the radeon driver function has been helped that much, I can't wait to try the radeonhd driver. I might finally be able to move completely to an opensource driver. It's still not as fast as the fglrx driver, but the speed is acceptable -- even with compiz. The heating is the last real issue -- and I know you guys have done more work on the downclocking issue than has ever been done with the radeon driver, so If the tests go good -- bye bye suse 11.0, I can finally upgrade :p Let me know what you think about the drm make issue and thank you for all your continued work! -- David C.
