/etc/X11/xorg.conf ... Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "extmod" Load "fbdevhw" Load "glx" Load "record" Load "freetype" Load "type1" Load "dri" EndSection ... DRI support for Radeon is disabled by default in RHEL4 due to reported instabilities of DRI with various Radeon chipsets. For the time being, you must manually enable DRI by hand editing the config file and adding to the Device section: Option "dri" Official Red Hat support for this issue may be obtained by submitting an official support request at http://www.redhat.com/apps/support or by telephone at 1-888-RED-HAT1. DRI was disabled by default on all Radeon hardware in RHEL4 due to stability issues. Users were able to manually override the default however via reconfiguration, with the caveat that instability was possible. The latest updates for RHEL4 re-enable DRI by default on all Radeon hardware except Radeon 7000. Closing bug as fixed in the current errata release. |
