[Dri-users] problems running radeon 8500

[Guillaume R. <ro...@cc...>]

Hello.

I got troubles running DRI on a radeon 8500 and kernel 2.6.7, on=20
mandrake cooker. It seems to be a kernel-related problems, as I find the=20
following error messages in my logs:
[drm] Initialized radeon 1.10.0 20020828 on minor 0: ATI Technologies=20
Inc Radeon R200 QL [Radeon 8500 LE]
[drm:radeon_cp_init] *ERROR* radeon_cp_init called without lock held
[drm:radeon_unlock] *ERROR* Process 3092 using kernel context 0

In my XFree logs, i have the following error message:
(WW) RADEON(0): [agp] AGP not available
...
(II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled

I forcerd agpgart and via-agp modules loading before loading radeon, as=20
stated on dri Wiki, without success. From=20
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/archive/18/2003/11/3/74351, I=20
understand current driver version (1.10) is quite high and could be=20
responsable, especially as Mandrake reverted to Xfree 4.3 due to the=20
license change.

 From kernel package changelog, I see the following changes:
ven jan 30 2004: drm updates
mer jan 21 2004: remove drm cvs updates
ven jan 16 2004: drm 20040108

I'd like to revert to drm20040108 kernel driver to test, but I can't=20
find exactly where to download it from DRI CVS. According to the wiki,=20
it's in=20
http://dri.freedesktop.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/dri/xc/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/x=
free86/os-support/linux/drm,=20
but the files there doesn't match my /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/drm=20
directory content. So, what should I do ?
