You cannot use old kernel DRM modules with XFree86 4.1.0. Right now, if you want DRI in rawhide you must compile your own DRM modules. I'll leave the bug open even though it duplicates many other reports because of the symbol errors. I'll fix those first before duping the report. Thanks. Could you please elaborate what does mean "compile your own DRM modules"? Isn't all modules included with XFree86 itself? there are (part of XFree86 rpm) /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libdrm.a /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/mga_dri.so Do you mean that /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/drm/mga.o is out of date? If yes, how could I fix it? regarding to unresolved symbols: When I explicitely Load "vbe" in XF86config-4, then X server doesn't report unresolved vbeFree during startup. (anyway, this undresolved symbol seems not critical for me, I think that problem is just in out of date kernel DRM module -> ) regarding to compiling modules: When I explicitely load kernel modules insmod agpgart insmod mga before X server startup then X server reports something like "2.x is old version of DRM module, 3.x is needed". So one should grab source of mga.o kernel DRM version 3.x module from XFree86-4.1.0 sources and compile it for kernel instead of the kernel DRM module version 2.x bundled with 2.4.5 kernel. So yes, we are speaking about /usr/lib/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/drm/mga.o replacement/upgrade. I rebuild kernel modules, installs them under /usr/lib/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/drm/ (for sure, rmmod mga agpgart;depmod -a) For some reason, now I have to manually do modprobe agpgart modprobe mga otherwise they do not get loaded. I have no more complains regarding wrong kernel module version. However , unresolved symbol remains. If I add Load "vbe" to my XF86config-4, I get lots of unresolved symbols in libvbe. all symbols contains xf86int10 or xf86ExecX86int10. How could I deal with these symbols? P.S. now 'glxinfo' coredumps. Before it caused X server to crash. with 4.0.3 it used to works fine. Regarding unresolved symbols in vbe: Try to add: Load "int10" this gets me no more unresolved symbols at all ... Regarding all: So does really DRI work now? Try to run some OpenGL software if it's really working. Regarding glxinfo coredumps: I saw this in bug #41592 I confirm that Load "int10" resolves all unresolved symbols. DRI do works. My card is G200. 'gears' from Mesa-demos reports about 250 FPS in window 300x300 about 180 FPS in window 500x500 about 100 FPS in window 700x700 Follow-up: when everything is properly installed, Mesa updated to 3.4.2, glxinfo no more coredumps. It just works! Ok, thanks for updating the report. I think it is safe to say it was just DRI modules/configuration issue, not a bug. Thanks. So it does work for me (getting modules from XF86 sources). Some comments: 1) I need to explicitely insmod agpgart and insmod mga to make it work. The X server cannot load it automaticaly: (==) MGA(0): Write-combining range (0xe4000000,0x1000000) (--) MGA(0): 16 DWORD fifo (==) MGA(0): Default visual is TrueColor (II) MGA(0): [drm] bpp: 16 depth: 16 (II) MGA(0): [drm] Sarea 2200+664: 2864 [drm] failed to load kernel module "mga" (II) MGA(0): [drm] drmOpen failed (EE) MGA(0): [drm] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI. (II) MGA(0): Using 5529 lines for offscreen memory. (II) MGA(0): Using XFree86 Acceleration Architecture (XAA) 2) I encounter real instability problems with these modules. Sometimes the system hangs several seconds after using it (only SysRq+B works) and I even saw a kernel oops with it (scheduling in interrupt). So I removed the modules and don't use DRM. kernel-2.4.5-0.2.9 XFree86-4.1.0-0.0.1 G450, Asus KT133A, Athlon |
Description of Problem: XFree86-4.1.0-0.0.1 with kernel-2.4.5-0.2.9 (athlon) doesn't use MGA/DRI acceleration (needed for OpenGL - like Quake3 arena, tuxracer etc.) When I start X session, the DRI extension is not loaded, see /var/log/X*.log: ...

Expected Results: MGA works - OpenGL runs accelerated - Everybody happy ;-) Additional Information: My system is RedHat 7.1 with glib*, glibc*, gtk*, gdk*, XFree*, Mesa*, kernel*, modutils*, gcc* from Rawhide.
