RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHEA-2011:1601 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE X.Org video driver packages bug fix and enhancement update 2011-12-06 00:51:15 UTC

Description Haruo Tomita 2010-11-23 22:38:10 UTC 
Description of problem:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 doesn't have the XGI Volari Z9S chip video driver.
The following warning messages are output to Xorg.o.log. 

(II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri2.so
(II) Module dri2: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
        compiled for 1.7.7, module version = 1.1.0
        ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 2.0
(II) Loading extension DRI2
(II) LoadModule: "xgi"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module xgi
(II) UnloadModule: "xgi"
(EE) Failed to load module "xgi" (module does not exist, 0)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. RHEL6.0 is installed 
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

Expected results:
The xgi module is load.

Additional info:

I believe the PCI ID of the Z9s is 18ca:0021 per
http://pciids.sourceforge.net [http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/18ca/0021]
and that the code is upstream at
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-xgi/

The code should already be in our RHEL5.6 public beta.
The Xgi driver of RHEL5.6 public beta is reported with Bug 652470.

Created attachment 462478 [details]
xorg-x11-drv-xgi-1.6.0-1.el6.src.rpm

I backported the latest xgi driver on RHEL6.0.(SRPM and RPMS were attached.).
In my environment, these drivers work fine.
Comment 3 Suzanne Logcher 2011-01-05 19:46:41 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated 
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to 
address this request at this time.  This request has been 
proposed for the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
If you would like it considered as an exception in the 
current release, please ask your support representative.
Comment 6 Christopher Aillon 2011-06-13 20:05:17 UTC 
This should already be fixed in 6.1...  Is it still an issue?
Comment 7 Haruo Tomita 2011-06-13 21:50:35 UTC 
(In reply to comment #6)

Comment 14 Tomas Pelka 2011-09-20 14:42:39 UTC 
Seems that our Z9 machine is broken, Mark please correct me if I'm wrong.

Dear Haruo, 
are you able to try latest xgi driver from RHEL6.2 Alpha?

Thank you very much for your response.
