I've installed the update that is announced on the following page. http://www.suse.com/en/support/download/xfree86/ I am using libGL from this update package: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/XFree86/XFree86-4.2.0-SuSE/suse73/DRI/xf86_glx-4.2.0-64.i386.rpm > > To compare with older drivers ("connection refused" is the result of > > starting the X server separately from 'xdm'): > > So I can ignore it and the Xlib error "No protocol specified"? Yep, this does _not_ occur as long as I start the X server via an appropriate entry in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers file. > > drmOpenByBusid: drmGetBusid reports PCI:1:0:0 > > drmRadeonGetParam: -22 > > This looks like an invalid parameter error returned by drm. Can you > confirm that you are running the version 1.3 Radeon DRM kernel module? I am pretty shure I do, otherwise I would see the following message: Radeon DRI driver: Compatibility mode for DRM driver version 1.1.1 [...] .... cos' I have some minimal debugging enabled - don't know anymore how I did ;-) The radeon.o kernel module was compiled from the sources you provide together with the binary Radeon XFree86 drivers. Unfortunately - as you notice in the Makefile.linux - the sources are for 2.4.x kernels only .... ;-) > You're the first to report this. If you're willing, I'd like to track > down what's going on. Ooooh, if you're willing, I try to support you in tracking this down as good as I can. Please notice that I'm some sort of system administrator and not a programmer, so my knowledge on this topic might be limited and I might have to be taught how to run appropriate tests, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
