Update for radeonhd and enabling it and cirrus driver probe issue
Hi,
xsrc/external/mit/xf86-video-radeonhd contains the version 1.2.1, but
xf86-video-radeonhd
is not enabled in src/external/mit/xorg/server/drivers and so the driver is not
loaded.
I did 'upgrade' it to 1.2.3 and modified the xf86-video-radeonhd Makefile,
which produced
a working driver and is much nicer then using the vesa driver.
Can I import the new driver and enable it?
* Now to the cirrus driver probe issue:
While running X -configure I noticed the following output:
(EE) Failed to load module "cirrusalpine" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "cirruslaguna" (module does not exist, 0)
/usr/X11R7/lib/modules/drivers has the following cirrus files:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 22 Oct 26 13:44 cirrus_alpine_drv.so ->
cirrus_alpine_drv.so.1
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 38213 Oct 26 13:44 cirrus_alpine_drv.so.1
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 15 Oct 26 13:44 cirrus_drv.so -> cirrus_drv.so.1
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 14195 Oct 26 13:44 cirrus_drv.so.1
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 22 Oct 26 13:44 cirrus_laguna_drv.so ->
cirrus_laguna_drv.so.1
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 31993 Oct 26 13:44 cirrus_laguna_drv.so.1
I suspect that cirrus_alpine_drv should be named cirrus_alpine
and cirrus_laguna_drv -> cirrus_laguna because of the following
lines in xf86-video-cirrus/dist/ChangeLog:
2005-11-28 Kevin E. Martin <kem-at-freedesktop-dot-org>
* src/Makefile.am:
Separate cirrus driver into _drv, _alpine and _laguna components
as they are in the monolithic tree.
And xf86-video-cirrus/dist/src/cir_driver.c:
if (!lg_loaded) {
if (xf86LoadDrvSubModule(drv, "cirrus_laguna")) {
xf86LoaderReqSymLists(lgSymbols, NULL);
lg_loaded = TRUE;
}
}
if (!alp_loaded) {
if (xf86LoadDrvSubModule(drv, "cirrus_alpine")) {
xf86LoaderReqSymLists(alpSymbols, NULL);
alp_loaded = TRUE;
}
}
I don't have a PCI cirrus card to do some tests for the cirrus driver.
