Created attachment 22169 [details] dmesg w/ "drm debug=1" In X my video adapter will not use DRI. When doing "startx" DRI fails as reported in the Xorg.0.log. To reproduce: simply startx. Actual results: X starts, KDE runs, but without DRI. Error is reported in my Xorg.0.log Expected results: Both the server, and the hardware ostensibly support DRI. I expect acceleration. Build date: X.Org X Server 1.4.2 Release Date: 11 June 2008 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Slackware 12.1 Slackware Linux Project Current Operating System: Linux ira 2.6.27.7 #1 Mon Jan 19 09:57:43 PST 2009 i586 Build Date: 30 June 2008 11:35:29PM Additional: This behavior existed on the previous server supplied with my distro too. (Though I didn't report it until now.) I have set my drm module to "drm debug=1". I am attaching my dmesg, and my Xorg.0.log

Can you try the drm in git master? first backup your old drm modules (usually in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/drm/) , then: git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/mesa/drm cd drm/linux-core make (as root) cp *.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/drm/ modprobe -r radeon depmod -a Then start X.

I can't see why the hell this is failing, the only think I can think of is a bug in libdrm somehow, you could try making libdrm and using it instead of the system one The other option is to add some debugging to the setversion ioctl in the drm_ioctl.c in the kernel and see why it is failing. It really should be returning a valid value in GetBusID and you shouldn't see the repeated opening. I just know of course the answer will be one of the DOH! type things.
