1 Hallo Mick.
2 Thank you very much - it helped. Removing 'video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr:3 vga=792'
3 from kernel boot options, and framebuffer-related stuff in kernel config,
4 especially:
5
6 # CONFIG_FB_DDC is not set
7 # CONFIG_FB_BOOT_VESA_SUPPORT is not set
8 # CONFIG_FB_BACKLIGHT is not set
9 # CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS is not set
10 # CONFIG_FB_TILEBLITTING is not set
11 # CONFIG_FB_VESA is not set
12 # CONFIG_FB_RADEON is not set
13 # CONFIG_DISPLAY_SUPPORT is not set
14 # CONFIG_VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK is not set
15 # CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DETECT_PRIMARY is not set
16
17 (not all the options were removed by hand, it is just diff of the configs, and
18 maybe, some of them could be enabled without causing problems).
19
20 Now, there are much more 'drm'-related messages in 'dmesg', and also X.org
21 uses the drm correctly. The 'glxinfo' returns:
22 ...
23 OpenGL vendor string: X.Org R300 Project
24 OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on RV370
25 OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.9
26 OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
27 ...
28
29 It looks good now. Thank you very much for your advice again.
