Used xorg.conf
I can confirm this error on my system using a Ati Radeon X1400. As a workaround I added the nomodeset argument to the current kernel and added the entry Option "DRI" "on" to my xorg.conf. Using this setup I can use 3D and common desktop effects using the current driver from the released-repos. Seems to be an issue with the Mobility Radeon X1300 as well (IBM/Lenova Thinkpad T60). Relevant lines from Xorg.log: (II) RADEONHD(0): [dri] Visual configs initialized (II) RADEONHD(0): [DRI] installation complete (EE) RADEONHD(0): [drm] Could not create vertex/indirect buffers list (II) RADEONHD(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel (II) RADEONHD(0): [drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA 0xf9327000 at 0xb3fe5000 (II) RADEONHD(0): [drm] Closed DRM master. This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This bug still happens on F12. I have to use nomodeset to be able to enable exa acceleration. radeonhd does not support KMS. Therefore (starting from xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd-1.3.0-4.2.20091204git), radeonhd refuses to start when KMS is active. If you want KMS, use the radeon driver from the xorg-x11-drv-ati package which is loaded by default on Fedora. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 544139 *** |
Created attachment 326666 [details] xorg.0.log with activated kms Description of problem: It seems not to be possible to use the driver with R500 card activating dri when kms is set. By default fedora 10 is using kms presenting us plymouth. However, if the systems boots with activated kms the x server is not able to load dri and because of this it is not possible to use 3d support. Xorg.0.log is reporting (EE) RADEONHD(0): [drm] Could not create vertex/indirect buffers list If the boot option "nomodeset" is set in grub, the driver is able to activated dri and 3d with the same xorg.conf. The test system was an IBM Z61M with an X1400 mobile. Other chips of this family might be affected as well. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd.i386 1.2.3-1.7.20081206git.fc10 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd 2. Setup a simple xorg.conf with Option "DRI" "on" (attached) 3. Start the X-Server Actual results: DRI fails to load, no 3d is avaible. Expected results: DRI is activated and with supported 3d. Additional info: Additionally to the steps mentioned above try: 1. Add "nomodeset" to the boot options of the kernel. Without kms it is working like fedora 9. An uptodate radeonhd was tested, however older versions does not work also. Other users in the german fedoraforum was reporting to engage similiar issues with their cards.
