I just finished upgrading the git/master (drm, pixman, mesa, xserver, xf86_video_ati, xf86_input_{evdev,mouse,kbd}. The resulting Xorg bails out with the message: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so: undefined symbol: pciTag There were warnings about pcitag being deprecated during the build, but they were just warnings.
Should be fixed with xf86-video-ati Git commit 89452c08048c98fb5cc3dc551b3824be40d52cf2 . Note that this should only have happened with UMS. Is there any reason why you aren't using KMS?
Created attachment 53294 [details] Logfile after xf86-video-ati rebuilt/reinstalled.
I applied the patch and rebuilt xf86-video-ati. The missing symbol error is gone, but the server still exits. I've attached a logfile. As to why no KMS here: This is an old HP Pavillion 5000 laptop and the last time I tried I ran into problems. I'll try again.
I'm changing the status, but will submit a separate report if asked.
I added KMS to the kernel and restarted. Now X starts; however, my keyboard and mouse aren't recognized. Both are handled by evdev. When I unplug and plug in the mouse it is recognized. Unfortunately I can't do that with the keyboard (it's on a laptop :))
(In reply to comment #4) > I'm changing the status, but will submit a separate report if asked. Please do file a separate report for the vgaHW failure. It would be great if you could bisect which xserver change triggered that one. (In reply to comment #5) > [...] my keyboard and mouse aren't recognized. That could be a configuration issue, but it's most definitely not related to the video driver.
I don't think this should be closed just yet. Aren't things supposed to work without KMS? RE: the mouse/keyboard issues, I've opened a new bug as requested at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42743
(In reply to comment #7) > I don't think this should be closed just yet. The undefined symbol error reported here has been fixed. The vgaHW failure is a different problem that needs to be tracked separately.
