Hello, I'm using Fedora 7 and I thought I should try nouveau. I couldn't get direct rendering to work. I found out that the Mesa package that ships with Fedora 7 doesn't include a DRI interface for the nouveau module. So I fetched the latest Mesa source from git, compiled with 'mke DRI_DIRS=nouveau linux-dri-x86' and copied the produced ./lib/nouveau_dri.so in the appropriate directory (/usr/lib/dri/nouveau_dri.so). the driver nouveau_drv.so is provided by Fedora as well as the kernel module. I've added 'Load "glx"' and 'Load "dri"' in my xorg.conf, as well as 'Option "AIGLX" "True"'. Apart from the usual warnings from AIGLX for some unsupported visuals, there are no other warning or error messages in the Xorg.0.log there is an error message in the kernel log though: [drm:nouveau_mem_init] *ERROR* Unable to acquire AGP: -19 for DRI I get this: $ grep DRI /var/log/Xorg.0.log (II) Loading extension XFree86-DRI (II) NOUVEAU(0): Loaded DRI module (II) NOUVEAU(0): [dri] Found DRI library version 1.3.0 and kernel module version 0.0.6 (II) NOUVEAU(0): [DRI] installation complete (II) GLX: Initialized DRI GL provider for screen 0 for DRM I get this: $ grep -i drm /var/log/Xorg.0.log drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device) drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device) drmOpenDevice: Open failed drmOpenByBusid: Searching for BusID pci:0000:01:00.0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is 7, (OK) drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns 7 drmOpenByBusid: drmGetBusid reports pci:0000:01:00.0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is 7, (OK) drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is 7, (OK) drmOpenByBusid: Searching for BusID pci:0000:01:00.0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is 7, (OK) drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns 7 drmOpenByBusid: drmGetBusid reports pci:0000:01:00.0 (II) NOUVEAU(0): [drm] DRM interface version 1.3 (II) NOUVEAU(0): [drm] created "nouveau" driver at busid "pci:0000:01:00.0" (II) NOUVEAU(0): [drm] added 8192 byte SAREA at 0xf8abb000 (II) NOUVEAU(0): [drm] mapped SAREA 0xf8abb000 to 0xb7f9e000 (II) NOUVEAU(0): [drm] framebuffer handle = 0xf0000000 (II) NOUVEAU(0): [drm] added 1 reserved context for kernel (II) NOUVEAU(0): [drm] installed DRM signal handler drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is 8, (OK) drmOpenByBusid: Searching for BusID pci:0000:01:00.0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is 8, (OK) drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns 8 drmOpenByBusid: drmGetBusid reports pci:0000:01:00.0 and for AIGLX this: (**) Option "AIGLX" "True" (**) AIGLX enabled (II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib/dri/nouveau_dri.so which looks promising to me. glxinfo reports $ glxinfo | grep Mesa OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI GeForce4 Ti 4200 Go AGP 8x 20060219 x86/MMX/SSE2 OpenGL version string: 1.2 Mesa 7.1 unfortunately direct rendering doesn't get enabled $ glxinfo | grep direct direct rendering: No Of course I know nouveau is in its infancy. Just playing with it I guess ;) thank you for your hard work in building this driver. -Ioannis
