[Dri-users] radeon card dev/dri problem

[john m. <jm...@at...>]

I have attempted to use a Radeon SDR card with Mandrake 8.2. The card is
not being used. Checking my Xfree log I find with drm opendevice
(/dev/dri/card0) the message "no such device." I then get drm Open
failed and dri disabled. I am using a Gateway computer with a 700mhz
Athlon on a Kadoka motherboard with 256 ram. I had problems installing
8.2 and actually installed 2.2.20 and then built the 2.4.18 kernel. I'm
fairly new at this and am wondering about the device dev/dri/card0 and
how that gets picked up during installation or build. My other Mandrake
8.2 system (a 533 mhz Pentium and Nvidia geforce 2 card with newest
nvidia drivers installed, not dri drivers, works very well, giving me
4000+ fps with glxgears. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
in advance.
