Re: [Dri-users] Radeon 7500 : X hard locks machine

I think I've located the problem but don't know what the solution is.  Wh=

start X and the machine hangs there are messages to the kernel log :

I get this whether I modprobe radeon or let X load it, but the error mess=

begin when X launches. =20
I compiled and installed the dri package from cvs instead of using the bi=
nary=20
package. Also compiled agpgart into the kernel and removed drm from the=20
kernel.  I didn't even get a squeak from the kernel logs before, they jus=
t=20
stopped.  I have 'alias char-major-10-175 agpgart' in modules.conf and de=
vfs=20
is creating /dev/misc/agpgart c 10 175, so what's the problem?
I substituted radeon for ati for the driver in the Device section of=20
XF86Config. ati loads anyhow, I believe radeon depends on it.
