I've just done a fresh FC2 install on a Sony PGC-Z1XSP which comes with
an ATI Radeon Mobility M6 LY and a 1400x1050 panel. 2D is fine, but
according to glxinfo (and visible with glxgears and gl apps) direct
rendering isn't enabled.
I believe that the standard kernel and xorg modules should support 3D
acceleration with this chip, so there's clearly something wrong with my
setup. I can't see anything obvious (to me) amiss and I've checked
bugzilla and STFA'd without finding anything helpful, so any advice
from this list would be much appreciated.
lspci -v gives me this for the controller,
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon \
Mobility M6 LY (prog-if 00 [VGA])
Subsystem: Sony Corporation: Unknown device 8140
Flags: bus master, stepping, fast Back2Back, 66Mhz, medium \
devsel, latency 66, IRQ 9
Memory at d8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable)
I/O ports at 3000 [size=256]
Memory at d0100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Capabilities: [58] AGP version 2.0
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
I find the following in /var/log/messages,
kernel: Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones
kernel: agpgart: Detected an Intel 855PM Chipset.
kernel: agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 941M
kernel: agpgart: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0xe0000000
...
kernel: [drm] Initialized radeon 1.9.0 20020828 on minor 0
However, lsmod doesn't show the radeon module, which I think should be
expected.
My xorg.conf includes,
Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
Load "extmod"
Load "fbdevhw"
Load "glx"
Load "record"
Load "freetype"
Load "type1"
Load "dri"
EndSection
and,
Section "DRI"
Group 0
Mode 0666
EndSection
And /var/log/Xorg shows the controller being correctly detected and
identified and the dri/drm/ati/radeon modules loading successfully.
However, towards the end I see,
(II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled
Any help and/or pointers would be much appreciated. Any other relevant
info available on request.
TIA ...
Cheers,
Miles
