I am running into some problems enabling dri so far in Debian sarge. I have an older Matrox Millenium G450 (no dualhead) and I've noticed that dri is disabled. Looking into the problem in the XFree86 log file, I notice that it can't open any dri devices underneath /dev/dri:
(snip) (OprU) (WW) MGA(0): Failed to set up write-combining range (0xe2000000,0x1000000) (II) MGA(0): vgaHWGetIOBase: hwp->IOBase is 0x03d0, hwp->PIOOffset is 0x0000 (--) MGA(0): 16 DWORD fifo (==) MGA(0): Default visual is TrueColor (II) MGA(0): [drm] bpp: 32 depth: 24 (II) MGA(0): [drm] Sarea 2200+664: 2864 drmOpenDevice: minor is 0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (Unknown error 999) drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (Unknown error 999) drmOpenDevice: Open failed drmOpenDevice: minor is 0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (Unknown error 999) drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (Unknown error 999) drmOpenDevice: Open failed drmOpenDevice: minor is 0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (Unknown error 999) drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (Unknown error 999) drmOpenDevice: Open failed Because of the open failures, DRI is disabled. In my (old & broken) Mandrake installation, I noted there were card [0-3] devices underneath /dev/dri. So I took note of the device names and node information, and created the necessary nodes underneath the dri directory. I then restarted X, only to find out the devices I just created were *missing*!
