mach64 dell inspiron 5000 no direct rendering
Heya all, for some reason I can"t get direct rendering to work with my rage mobility (mach64) chipset in this laptop I have with the 2.6.X kernels. If it wasn't for acpi constantly being made better and better with every new kernel, I wouldn't have bothered upgrading the kernel. Here are the errors I get in Xorg.0.log:
(WW) ATI(0): Failed to set up write-combining range (0xfd000000,0x800000)
(II) ATI(0): MMIO write caching enabled.
(--) ATI(0): 8192 kB of SGRAM (1:1) detected (using 8191 kB).
(WW) ATI(0): Cannot shadow an accelerated frame buffer.
I can post the whole log if necessary, but this is the only relevant part I feel.
I read somewhere on a forum that I should recompile the kernel without DRI, but that doesn't
make sense to me. Because then how would I get Direct Rendering without the Direct Rendering Manager?
P.S. I've installed the latest current snapshot for the mach64 chipset and that didn't help at all...same error as above.
