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. $ grep -e EE -e WW /var/log/Xo* /var/log/Xorg.0.log:Current Operating System: Linux trinity 2.6.16-suspend2-r1 #4 PREEMPT Fri Apr 7 09:54:49 IST 2006 i686 /var/log/Xorg.0.log: (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. /var/log/Xorg.0.log:(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/CID/" does not exist. /var/log/Xorg.0.log:(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER /var/log/Xorg.0.log:(EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed to open the DRM /var/log/Xorg.0.log:(WW) RADEON(0): Failed to detect secondary monitor, MergedFB/Clone mode disabled/var/log/Xorg.0.log:(WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old:Current Operating System: Linux trinity 2.6.16-suspend2-r1 #4 PREEMPT Fri Apr 7 09:54:49 IST 2006 i686 /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old: (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old:(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/CID/" does not exist. /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old:(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old:(EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed to open the DRM /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old:(WW) RADEON(0): Failed to detect secondary monitor, MergedFB/Clone mode disabled /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old:(WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled
To provide a bit more detail, nothing existed in /dev/dri (no card*). But it worked fine with the DRM in the kernel.
(In reply to comment #1) > To provide a bit more detail, nothing existed in /dev/dri (no card*). 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.
