I just noticed /dev/drm does not exist on my box.
Comment 3 Adam Jackson 2008-06-19 17:38:20 UTC 
That's a shame.  And I blame udev.
Comment 4 louisgtwo 2008-06-19 18:09:15 UTC 
ok I updated udev to 124-1.fc9.1 from updates-testing and now have
/dev/dri/card0 I still do not have dri enabled.

Comment 6 louisgtwo 2008-06-19 19:06:30 UTC 
This seems to be another duel head config problem with the latest server update
for f9. If I run X without a xorg.conf file and only the laptop monitor I have
direct rendering. When I use xorg.conf file with a vga monitor attached there is
no direct rendering.

Comment 11 louisgtwo 2008-06-20 02:11:08 UTC 
without an xorg.conf file dri works and I have two monitors but mirrors of each
other. I need to have them spanning but when I use the xorg.conf file I have
problems. System-config-display gives me errors when I use it.
Comment 12 louisgtwo 2008-06-20 03:03:40 UTC 
I have pinpointed the problem to the virtual 3200 1200 line in the xorg.conf
file. Without this line the two displays are brought up with direct rendering
enabled. But the displays are lot aligned correctly. I need to have the virual
fb bigger.
Comment 13 louisgtwo 2008-06-20 04:20:03 UTC 
I just read that the 3D engine has an 11 bit coordinate space at one point
making it impossible to draw to areas beyond 2048x2048. So I guess this is not
possible for this hardware.

I will close this bug.
