Subject: [gentoo-user] DRI doesn't work with Radeon XPress 200M and opensource Drivers

1 Sorry about the mail with html...

3 I've tried everthing I found on google and the forums and still can't
4 find the way to make DRI work with my ATI Radeon XPress 200M and the
5 opensource drivers.
6
7 I don't want to install the closed source because I want to use beryl,
8 and these drivers can't do the job, AFAIK.
9
10 So, here I am, trying to figure out what is going wrong. I made
11 everything I could think of.
12
13 My Xorg.conf (the interesting part)
14 *Code:*
15
16 Section "Module"
17 [...]
18 Load "dri"
19 Load "drm"
20 Load "glx"
21 [...]
22 EndSection
23
24 [...]
25 Section "Device"
26 Identifier "ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon Xpress 200M (RS480)"
27 Driver "radeon"
28 BusID "PCI:1:5:0"
29 Option "RenderAccel" "on"
30 Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
31 Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
32 Option "AccelDFS" "1"
33 Option "GARTSize" "64"
34 Option "AGPMode" "4"
35 Option "EnablePageFlip" "1"
36 Option "ColorTiling" "1"
37 Option "dri" "true"
38 Option "AGPFastWrite" "1"
39 EndSection
40
41 Section "DRI"
42 Mode 0666
43 EndSection
44 [...]
45 #composite is disabled
46
47
48
49 Modules I have enabled in the kernel and that are loaded by
50 /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6:
51 *Code:*
52
53 agpgart
54 amd64-agp
55 drm #this one was built by emerge x11-drm
56 radeon #this one too
57
58
59
60 Dmesg doesn't show anything.
61
62 However, /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows this:
63 *Code:*

91 The "Direct rendering broken on XPRESS 200 and 200M" part makes me
92 wonder whether or not a workaround exists. What can I do now?
