add one chip id for rs690 none

Description Michal Schmidt 2008-05-06 15:14:00 UTC 
Description of problem:
3D acceleration does not work on my laptop with the graphics chip 1002:791f ATI
Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series].

The beginning of glxinfo output says:

 unknown chip id 0x791f, can't guess.
 libGL error: InitDriver failed
 libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering
 name of display: :1.0
 display: :1  screen: 0
 direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mesa-libGL-7.1-0.29.fc9.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.8.0-12.fc9.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get the hardware with PCI ID 1002:791f
2. Run glxinfo on it.
  
Actual results:
DRI is not working.

Expected results:
DRI works.

Additional info:

When I put the line "ChipID 0x791e" into the Device section in xorg.conf, it
improves a lot:
 Warning, RS690 detected, 3D support is incomplete.
 name of display: :1.0
 display: :1  screen: 0
 direct rendering: Yes

Then even compiz works.

The believe the attached patch should fix it. I'm recompiling mesa now and will
test soon.

add one chip id for rs690
Comment 2 Michal Schmidt 2008-05-06 15:20:47 UTC 
OK, I'm now running with the patched mesa and with an empty xorg.conf. glxinfo
confirms direct rendering is enabled, compiz works. Please apply the patch.
