radeon: KMS/DRI not available
Last modified: 2010-04-12 02:13:20 UTC
Even though I load the kernel module with modprobe radeon modeset=1 (and I have booted with vga=0), obviously the KMS is not really used, since the screen still flickers when I switch VTs. I found this in Xorg.0.log, which might shed some light on the problem: (EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed because of a version mismatch. [dri] radeon kernel module version is 2.0.0 but version 1.17.0 or newer is needed. [dri] Disabling DRI. I'm not sure if this only affects 3D or KMS in general? Is the radeon driver on 11.3MS1 simply too old?
I believe that issue has been fixed meanwhile with all the updates in X11:Xorg. Otherwise please reopen.
I still see this in M5 (KDE Live CD build 553). Same after zypper dup to X11:XOrg. [dri] This chipset requires a kernel module version of 1.17.0, [dri] but the kernel reports a version of 2.1.0.[dri] If using legacy modesetting, upgrade your kernel. [dri] If using kernel modesetting, make sure your module is [dri] loaded prior to starting X, and that this driver was built [dri] with support for KMS. [dri] Disabling DRI.

Robin, is this now with KMS en- or disabled? I'm asking since Jeff Mahoney is seing the same problem with KMS disabled.
Seife, Robin, which ATI hardware are you using ("hwinfo --gfxcard")? I don't see that issue with a 'RV515 FireGL V3300'.
It's with KMS enabled. With UMS it worked last time I tested. It's a Radeon X600 Mobility, M24 1P (as I wrote above), I'm on another system right now so I cannot get the full info. If you still need more info, I can test again tomorrow evening (CEST), just let me know.
Created attachment 353616 [details] dmesg output Ok, this kept my little cells busy, so I tried it althoug it's late... Here's the hwinfo out: 25: PCI 100.0: 0300 VGA compatible controller (VGA) [Created at pci.318] Unique ID: VCu0.OEBUnlVxQI8 Parent ID: vSkL.RA714lUVE7D SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:01:00.0 Hardware Class: graphics card Model: "ATI Radeon Mobility X600 (M24) 3150 (PCIE)" Vendor: pci 0x1002 "ATI Technologies Inc" Device: pci 0x3150 "Radeon Mobility X600 (M24) 3150 (PCIE)" SubVendor: pci 0x10cf "Fujitsu Limited."

When loading it with modprobe, it switches to the native resolution of the Display. DRI should work, but it seems to be incompatible with my gfxcard. Starting X is very slow, the fan turns faster and I see GPU reset messages on the console. See attachment for full dmesg, the interesting stuff starts at second 100.
This seems to be a different issue. Should I file a new bug?
