Description Shyam Mani 2006-04-07 17:25:12 UTC

I was helping spyderous@gentoo.org test some stuff when we ran into this issue.

This was tested on an ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY card. Basically
built x11-drm from CVS and couldn't get direct rendering working as it should.
This same setup works fine with the in-kernel DRM modules.

To provide a bit more detail, nothing existed in /dev/dri (no card*). But it
worked fine with the DRM in the kernel.

That's normal, the X server creates and removes the nodes on demand.

Please attach (as opposed to paste) full X config and log files as well as (at
least the relevant) kernel output.

Bugzilla Upgrade Mass Bug Change

NEEDSINFO state was removed in Bugzilla 3.x, reopening any bugs previously listed as NEEDSINFO.
