Re: fglrx won't initalise DRI



Aha, solved it in two parts, firstly due to being a complete idiot I
didnt notice linux-restricted-modules wasn't installed. This is a bad
thing. After that there was still a problem that libgl was looking for
fglrx_dri.so in compltely the wrong place so I had to add
export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/dri
to /etc/profile

Hope this helps anyone else, although I doubt anyone else would be
quite that stupid

Hi all,

The fglrx driver seems to fail on loading the drm module and DRI fails
to initialise on my ATI X1900. Same result on both Dapper and Edgy...

The errors in Xorg.log are:
(II) Reloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/linux/libdrm.so
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device or address)
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device or address)
drmOpenDevice: Open failed
[drm] failed to load kernel module "fglrx"
(WW) fglrx(0): Failed to open DRM connection

and:
(II) fglrx(0): Composite extension enabled, disabling direct render

Seems you're using the Composite extension. AFAIK, fglrx doesn't like
Composite extension.

Take a look at this. I think it may help you:

Thanks for the suggestion. The error is slightly different in
xorg.0.log now, so I think there may be another problem. IIRC this is
now back to the same error I got in dapper :s

From Xorg.0.log:
(II) Loading extension ATIFGLRXDRI

drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0

Any other possibilities?

Many thanks,
