ATI fglrx driver - can't get dri working


Hi,

(apologies for the length of this post...)

(Running Mandrake 10.1 on Dell Optiplex GX280)
I'm having problems getting dri to work with my graphics
card. I've installed the fglrx module for X 6.8.x from
the ATI website, and that seemed to install fine. I
configured xorg.conf using fglrxconfig. If I leave all
the settings as I think they should be, then when I
try to start X, the system freezes...screen blank, can't
change to other tty's (ctrl+alt+f<n>). The only way to get out of this
is to power off, or ssh in remotely and issue a reboot
command (need to type reboot twice for some reason).

Below is some of the outbut from Xorg.0.log

-------------------------------------------------

This is all that appears in Xorg.0.log (apart from the section's I've removed). After
that, the machine just sits there, with the fan on full. When i ssh in from another
machine, the reason the fan is on full is because X is using 100% cpu. I've left
it sitting there for about an hour, nothing else happens, X takes 100% cpu, screen
stays blank.

When I reboot remotely, if I change the no_dri setting to "yes" in xorg.conf before
starting X, X starts ok, but glxinfo shows (as expected) Direct rendering is off.

A few more interesting points...whether I log in remotely after the machine is hung,
or whether I get into X by disabling dri, none of the expected modules appear when
I do lsmod (flgrx, agpgart, intel-agp). From the logfile, it appears that at least
flgrx should be present. Even if I manually load these with modprobe before starting
X, they aren't listed after I start X...is this normal?

When I do modprobe intel-agp, dmesg tells me:

Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones
agpgart: Unsupported Intel chipset (device id: 2580)

dmesg also has the following stuff (only when I try to enable dri):
mtrr: base(0xd8000000) is not aligned on a size(0x3ff0000) boundary
[fglrx:firegl_addmap] *ERROR* mtrr allocation failed (-22)


Looking at the Xorg.0.log file suggests that everything is pretty much fine
until it just stops after supposedly successfully initialising DRI, although
dmesg would suggest problems have occured. One aspect of the log file I did
notice was that for all modules, it says "compiled for 6.8.2", whereas for
the fglrx modules, it says it's compiled for 6.8.0...i.e.

(II) LoadModule: "fglrx"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.o
(II) Module fglrx: vendor="FireGL - ATI Technologies Inc."
compiled for 6.8.0, module version = 8.12.10

(II) Loading sub module "fglrxdrm"
(II) LoadModule: "fglrxdrm"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libfglrxdrm.a
(II) Module fglrxdrm: vendor="FireGL - ATI Technologies Inc."
compiled for 6.8.0, module version = 8.12.10
ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 0.2

I just re-compiled the fglrx module today, under X.org 6.8.2, so that's strange.
The dates on these files are nearly 2 months old, even though I just rebuilt
the fglrx module again today. I'm assuming here that "module" means "kernel module".
Is that right? When I rebuild the kernel fglrx module today, the following file
were created:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 290582 Jun 2 15:43 fglrx.ko

which I'm assuming is the kernel module...the one that doesn't appear to
get loaded by X at any stage.

Anyway, I'm pretty confused at this stage, so any help will be much
appreciated. I can submit further details if required.

Thanks,
SpruceMoose.
