hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
i'm crossposting to both xorg and gentoo amd64 mailing list to have |
4 |
more audience since the problem might be related to either gentoo or |
5 |
xorg itself. |
6 |
|
7 |
on sunday i've updated hal on gentoo and after reboot xorg stopped |
8 |
starting. the problem was that it cannot open the drm device. on |
9 |
monday i was using the 2.6.26-gentoo-r1 kernel with a patch applied |
10 |
(i've already had the same problem some time ago) for it to work, but |
11 |
on the same kernel after hal upgrade i haven't been able to have xorg |
12 |
open the drm device. |
13 |
first i've tried compiling the new 2.6.27-gentoo-r1 kernel but the |
14 |
problem is still there with both xorg-server from git and xorg-server |
15 |
from gentoo official repository. after downgrading i've tried out the |
16 |
downgraded 1.5 version on the old 2.6.26 kernel build but still got |
17 |
the same error. |
18 |
as drm module i use the libdrm kernel module (x11-drm) compiled for |
19 |
radeon boards. |
20 |
i've tried downgrading to the old hal version but still no luck. |
21 |
|
22 |
i now use the official ~amd64 packages on 2.6.27-gentoo-r1 kernel with |
23 |
radeon or radeonhd driver. i suspect the problem to be somewhere |
24 |
between the x11-drm and kernel drm module. |
25 |
|
26 |
i'm not able to give more info since i don't have the pc in question |
27 |
at hand for some hours and i've got no livecd at the moment to have |
28 |
some decent browser for posting the logs and configs, but i'd like to |
29 |
know if someone has some hints to give on what to look out for so that |
30 |
i can post everything together. |
31 |
|
32 |
thanks |
