2.4.22-rc1 breaks dri in X-4.3.0

2.4.22-rc1 breaks dri in X-4.3.0

[Ken Moffat]

 Apologies if this is a known bug, I'm slightly lost following the list,
and the only bug I can see mentioned seems to be in Alan's tree.

 I've just built 2.4.22-rc1 for my PIII (via chipset, radeon 7500), and
rebuilt radeon.o from the X 4.3 release.  This combination worked with
2.4.22-pre7 (although with occasional X lock-ups).

 In X's log I can see that the radeon module fails to open
/dev/dri/card0 (no such device) and therefore the module load fails.

 From dmesg I can see that agpgart detects the chipset and reports the
aperture,  but there are zero [drm] messages following.

My .config shows

CONFIG_DRM=y
CONFIG_DRM_NEW=y
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m

Does the DRM module get loaded?

Whats the output of insmod drm.o ?

could you please try the DRI sources from XFree cvs repo and see if it makes 
any difference? (I'll bet it will)

Sounds like radeon.i isn't loaded.

do you have radeon.o loaded? "lsmod|grep radeon"

What does dmesg say if it should autoloads the module when you start X? 
(assuming you have autoload support enabled)

drm.o? I think you mean radeon.o ;)

 drm is built in, only radeon.o is a module.  Bizarrely (I rebooted
before the original mail, in case something was hanging on to a file and
stopping it loading), this time it loads.

insmod radeon now gives me
[drm] AGP 0.99 aperture @ 0xe8000000 64MB
[drm] Initialized radeon 1.7.0 20020828 on minor 0

It looks as if I had a problem with depmod, insmod was failing until I
reran depmod -a, and yet that is at the end of my script for rebuilding
the X modules.  Sorry this turns out to be a bogus report.

 Looks as if it was some sort of error on my part, it's now running
nicely.  I had to [re] run depmod -a.  After a further reboot to prove
this has fixed it, radeon.o is definitely being autoloaded in startx.

Thanks anyway.
