Radeon DRI lost after latest updates from current 64bit

veeall · 02-10-2010, 10:35 AM

Hi!
I installed latest 64bit updates from current and it broke direct rendering for my radeon 9550 card using X11 drivers.

Xorg.0.log:

Code:

(II) [drm] DRM open master succeeded.

I'm in the process of buying an used Nvidia card for this machine because when i temporarily switched ati with nvidia i could run composite and even more - suspend to ram worked fine too.

My dmesg also has this line:

Code:

2010-02-10 11:27:25	arvuti	kernel	NVRM: not using NVAGP, kernel was compiled with GART_IOMMU support!!

That's the only clue i can think of - with two exclamation marks - it must be something

EDIT: Aargh, this is probably from dmesg after i switched to nvidia, the line is not there any more. I copied those error messages all over text files on two computers, messy.

Motherboard is k8upgrade-nf3.

What is the output of "dmesg | egrep 'agp|drm' "

Adam

veeall · 02-10-2010, 09:30 PM

dmesg | egrep 'agp|drm'

Code:

Linux agpgart interface v0.103
[drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
[drm] radeon defaulting to userspace modesetting.
[drm] Initialized radeon 1.31.0 20080528 for 0000:01:00.0 on minor 0

In Xorg.0.log theres a line suggesting that:

Code:

[agp] You may want to make sure the agpgart kernel module
is loaded before the radeon kernel module.

How to check or change this?

adamk75 · 02-11-2010, 04:27 AM

Try unloading the radeon, amd64_agp, agpgart, and kernel modules. Then, reload them in the opposite order. Then restart X.

Thanks for all advices, i gave up on that radeon and purchased nvidia card for this computer. Maybe, someday, i encounter the same problem again, because i still have a radeon 9200 laying around for another machine.

Edit: Ok, here i am again, already! Still no agp as it seems, even with nvidia geforce 6600:

cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status

Code:

Status:          Disabled                              

AGP initialization failed, please check the ouput  
of the 'dmesg' command and/or your system log file 
for additional information on this problem.

dmesg

Code:

NVRM: not using NVAGP, kernel was compiled with GART_IOMMU support!!

I can turn composite on, but i feel this card should perform better than it currently is.
I am using latest generic kernel from slack64-current.

veeall · 02-12-2010, 04:38 AM

What could be done? Should i try to recompile kernel without this 'GART_IOMMU support'?
