hi guys,
i'm running testing on my amd64 and i updated to kernel 2.6.12 (via
dselect). i selected to compile drm and dri as modules (i want hw
acceleration of my ati radeon x600 card). compilation went fine, the new
kernel works ok. however, i cannot get hw acceleration to work.
the 2 modules above apparently don't work. drm complains about not being
able to allocate memory
Error inserting drm
(/lib/modules/2.6.12/kernel/drivers/char/drm/drm.ko): Cannot allocate memory
radeon complains about unknown symbols in module, dmesg reveals the
followinG:
radeon: Unknown symbol drm_open
radeon: Unknown symbol drm_fasync
... and so on
on web i found out that this could be caused by missing support for
/dev/agpgart in kernel. however, i cannot select it in menu/xconfig. my
.config file contains
CONFIG_AGP=y
CONFIG_AGP_AMD64=y
CONFIG_DRM=m
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m
so the support should definitely be present. where's the
CONFIG_AGP_AMD64 coming from? i couldn't find any switch in the
menuconfig that'd control this. also, is CONFIG_AGP selected
automatically? the strange thing is that the same setup (i hope i didn't
miss anything) worked fine on 2.6.11.
i was also told to compile agpgart support as a module, as well as
support for my chipset CONFIG_AGP_chipset=m. is it possible that this
via agp chipset isn't supported in 2.6.12?
i guess this shouldn't be amd64 related, so i'm posting here... if i'm
wrong, please let me know :)
thank you for any hints. regards,
