Description of problem: With kernel-2.6.9-5.EL no /dev/dri/card0 appears and in dmesg there is no message about the ATI Radeon card I have. The computer is with AMD Athlon and SiS 745 chipset. If I use vanilla 2.6.10 kernel with agpgart, sis-agp as module and load the modules either by hand or by using modprobe.conf it works fine. I even tried upgrading to kernel-2.6.10-1.770_FC3 and it didn't help. Even if I do modprobe radeon later it doesn't help because it only initializes the DRM however the DRI stays switched off. How reproducible: 100% Expected results: DRI works out of the box with the supplied kernel.
we disabled it in X for GA due to stability concerns, it'll be fixed in U1 I believe? Mike ?
DRI is disabled by default in the current xorg-x11 for RHEL4. You have to enable DRI manually in the config file.
