From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: I am unable to get DRI working with an NForce2 motherboard (Asus A7N8X Deluxe) and an ATI Radeon 9100. The kernel does not provide AGP GART support for the NForce2. NVidia has released patches for this: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_nforce_1.0-0261.html However, those patches don't apply cleanly to the RedHat kernel. However, they do apply to the kernel.org kernels. It appears that the AGP part is included in 2.4.22-rc2 at least. Unfortunately, I am not able to just use the kernel.org kernel. Evidently the kernel.org kernel does not have a recent enough version of the radeon driver as XFree86 complains about a version mismatch. [dri] radeon.o kernel module version is 1.1.1 but version 1.5.0 or newer is needed. The version that ships with the RedHat kernel is up to 1.7 so it would work... if it had AGP GART support. So in summary: - RedHat kernel has no NForce2 AGP GART support, but has good radeon driver version 1.7 - kernel.org kernel (2.4.22-rc2) has NForce2 AGP GART support but has wrong radeon driver version (1.1.1) Is there any hope for an updated RedHat kernel with NForce2 AGP GART support in the near future? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.20-19.9
Already merged and fixed in the next severn kernel to show up in rawhide. It's unlikely to show up in an update for shrike any time soon.
