Hello,

Yesterday I finally decided to get HW acceleration running on my laptop 
(Vaio PCG-Z600LEK). The graphics card needs the mach64 driver. I am 
running Debian unstable 2.4.25 with XFree86 4.3.0-7

In the past I have tried compiling from the DRI cvs, but first it was 
broken, then I found out I did not have enough disk space (you would 
think 700MB would be enough :-S). Anyway, gave up on that.

Yesterday I tried the snapshots. I tried 20040328, 20040319 and a random 
one from February. The kernel module compiled and installed fine (in 
fact I'm running it now). Having installed the 'extra' XFree86 run file 
HW X loaded HW acceleration. Unfortunately it then threw out the 
following error:
---
<-snip->
(II) ATI(0): [drm] Mapped 128 DMA buffers at 0x4122c000
(II) ATI(0): [drm] Installed interrupt handler, using IRQ 9
(II) ATI(0): Direct rendering enabled
(==) RandR enabled
Required symbol xf86I2CGetScreenBuses from module 
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers
/atimisc_drv.o is unresolved!

Fatal server error:
Some required symbols were unresolved
---

As a result, X never manages to load. Having tried the 3 snapshots I 
gave up. Instead I installed some unofficial Debian packages and that 
finally got it working. I thought I'd let you know though, as the 
snapshot installer told me to report any problems I had to this list.

HTH,

.George Borisov.
