DRM is part of the kernel, not xorg-x11.... reassigning to kernel... is this still causing a problem with the errata kernel ? This is still an issue with the "2.6.8-1.521" kernel. If you look in the file "/usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.521/drivers/char/drm/Kconfig", the following seems to be to blame: ---- config DRM_MGA tristate "Matrox g200/g400" depends on DRM && AGP && (!X86_64 || BROKEN) help Choose this option if you have a Matrox G200, G400 or G450 graphics card. If M is selected, the module will be called mga. AGP support is required for this driver to work. ---- I was able to compile the mga.ko module by editing that file. Afterwards, I copied it to "/lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/kernel/drivers/char/drm/" and then did "modprobe -vf mga". It loaded fine with the following message: "mga: no version magic, tainted kernel". Now DRM seems to work fine: ---- (II) MGA(0): [drm] bpp: 32 depth: 24 (II) MGA(0): [drm] Sarea 2200+664: 2864 drmOpenDevice: minor is 0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is 8, (OK) drmOpenDevice: minor is 0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is 8, (OK) drmOpenDevice: minor is 0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is 8, (OK) drmGetBusid returned '' (II) MGA(0): [drm] created "mga" driver at busid "PCI:1:0:0" (II) MGA(0): [drm] added 8192 byte SAREA at 0xffffff0000268000 (II) MGA(0): [drm] mapped SAREA 0xffffff0000268000 to 0x2a97e8d000 (II) MGA(0): [drm] framebuffer handle = 0xf8000000 (II) MGA(0): [drm] added 1 reserved context for kernel (II) MGA(0): [agp] Mode 0x1f000211 [AGP 0x1106/0x0282; Card 0x102b/0x2527] (II) MGA(0): [agp] 12288 kB allocated with handle 0x00000001 (II) MGA(0): [agp] WARP microcode handle = 0xf0000000 (II) MGA(0): [agp] WARP microcode mapped at 0x2a97e8f000 (II) MGA(0): [agp] Primary DMA handle = 0xf0008000 (II) MGA(0): [agp] Primary DMA mapped at 0x2a97e97000 (II) MGA(0): [agp] DMA buffers handle = 0xf0108000 (II) MGA(0): [agp] DMA buffers mapped at 0x2a97f97000 (II) MGA(0): [drm] Added 128 65536 byte DMA buffers (II) MGA(0): [agp] agpTexture handle = 0xf0908000 (II) MGA(0): [agp] agpTexture size: 2816 kb (II) MGA(0): [drm] Registers handle = 0xfa000000 (II) MGA(0): [drm] Status handle = 0xffffff000027d000 (II) MGA(0): [agp] Status page mapped at 0x2a98797000 (II) MGA(0): [dri] visual configs initialized (II) MGA(0): Memory manager initialized to (0,0) (1600,2399) (II) MGA(0): Largest offscreen area available: 1600 x 1199 (II) MGA(0): Reserved back buffer at offset 0xea6000 (II) MGA(0): Reserved depth buffer at offset 0x15f9000 (II) MGA(0): Reserved 2768 kb for textures at offset 0x1d4c000 (II) MGA(0): Using XFree86 Acceleration Architecture (XAA) Screen to screen bit blits Solid filled rectangles Solid filled trapezoids 8x8 mono pattern filled rectangles 8x8 mono pattern filled trapezoids Indirect CPU to Screen color expansion Screen to Screen color expansion Solid Lines Dashed Lines Scanline Image Writes Offscreen Pixmaps Setting up tile and stipple cache: 32 128x128 slots 19 256x256 slots (==) MGA(0): Backing store disabled (==) MGA(0): Silken mouse enabled (**) Option "dpms" (**) MGA(0): DPMS enabled (II) MGA(0): Using overlay video (II) MGA(0): X context handle = 0x00000001 (II) MGA(0): [drm] installed DRM signal handler (II) MGA(0): [DRI] installation complete (II) MGA(0): [drm] Mapped 128 DMA buffers (II) MGA(0): [drm] dma control initialized, using IRQ 217 (==) MGA(0): Direct rendering enabled ---- I ran glxgears for a few minutes and got a consistent 403FPS. I have an Abit AV8 motherboard and a Matrox G550 graphics card. It seems that this might be fixed in 2.6.10. See: http://www.x86-64.org/lists/discuss/msg05878.html "Reenable MGA DRI on x86-64" DRM works for me again with updated kernel "2.6.10-1.737_FC3"! |
