Add R6xx/R7xx AGP support

Thanks Alex. I got to here without any errors following that links instructions:

[root@coyote linux-core]# pwd /usr/src/drm/linux-core [root@coyote linux-core]# make radeon.ko drm.ko make: *** No rule to make target `radeon.ko'. Stop.

make drm.o radeon.o then copy drm.ko and radeon.ko over to your kernel module tree. Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org

Thanks Alex. I got to here without any errors following that links instructions:

[root@coyote linux-core]# pwd /usr/src/drm/linux-core [root@coyote linux-core]# make radeon.ko drm.ko make: *** No rule to make target `radeon.ko'. Stop.

make drm.o radeon.o then copy drm.ko and radeon.ko over to your kernel module tree.

Have done that, overwriting the gpu/drm.ko that was there, and putting radeon.ko in the gpu/radeon subdir.

make sure you built from the r6xx-r7xx-support branch of the drm.

I removed the radeonhd stuff from the 1.2.4 build, failed, so I put it back in. But I cannot enable the DRI option in the xorg.conf file as it exits quickly: (WW) RADEONHD(0): Direct rendering for R600 an up forced on - This is NOT officially supported at the hardware level and may cause instability or lockups (II) RADEONHD(0): Found libdri 5.0.0. 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

Backtrace: 0: X(xf86SigHandler+0x81) [0x80c2f91] 1: [0xffffe400]

Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting

And indeed there is no such device. The /dev/dri directory is empty even after a reboot, which should have caught the new drm.ko module.

As it seems to me the terms DRI and DRM are interchangeable my .config greps:

[root@coyote drm]# grep DRI ../linux-2.6.28.2/.config # CONFIG_MACINTOSH_DRIVERS is not set # CONFIG_RAW_DRIVER is not set CONFIG_VIDEO_CAPTURE_DRIVERS=y CONFIG_V4L_USB_DRIVERS=y CONFIG_DVB_CAPTURE_DRIVERS=y CONFIG_SND_DRIVERS=y [root@coyote drm]# grep DRM ../linux-2.6.28.2/.config CONFIG_DRM=m # CONFIG_DRM_TDFX is not set # CONFIG_DRM_R128 is not set CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m # CONFIG_DRM_MGA is not set # CONFIG_DRM_VIA is not set # CONFIG_DRM_SAVAGE is not set [root@coyote drm]# grep AGP ../linux-2.6.28.2/.config # CONFIG_AGP is not set

Do I need to adjust that?

If you have an agp card you'll need agp support.

Humm, maybe I need something in modprobe.conf? I just did a 'modprobe drm' which returned no errors, but it did not generate a /dev/dri/card0 either.

you'll also need to load radeon.ko as well (modprobe radeon). then start x and check your dmesg for drm/radeon messages. Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org

Hi Alex;

I am still unable to "make" in the git pull of the radeonhd driver. And I have followed the wiki instructions except I used "./autogen --prefix=/usr" as you wrote previously.

The error is: r6xx_accel.h:59: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'uint32_t' The line quoted above is: // shader storage ExaOffscreenArea *shaders; <----line 58 uint32_t solid_vs_offset;

Do you have the necessary build requirements? you'll need the xserver headers among other things.

Presently I can only make x run at a usable speed without the "Option" "DRI" in xorg.conf, because it doesn't make the /usr/lib/dri/r600_dri.so file before the make errors out.

There is no r600_dri.so. That would be the 3D driver if one existed. The latest bits only provide EXA and Xv.

This is shown by the previous message as (from that Xorg.0.log): (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/r600_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/r600_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

This can be ignore as there is no 3D driver at the moment. Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
