Description Gu Rui 2008-10-21 04:28:22 UTC
I'm using the xf86-video-ati-6.9.0 driver(not fglrx ones;) and it work fine at least in the 2.6.27-rc* kernel. Under the 2.6.27-git9 kernel, if I enable the DRI in xorg.conf, it will give me totally black screen. Even Ctrl+Alt+F1 doesn't work. It seems that the screen  was totally turned off. I will provide dmesg and X.0.log soon.

X.0.log that works(i.e, DRI disabled)

This is the X log when DRI is disabled. Could someone tell me how to dump X log in a totally black screen? ;) I wish the dmesg and this X log could do some help.
Comment 3 Diego Calleja 2008-10-21 07:51:09 UTC
You should be able to see previous X logs in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old or something like that.

This problem can be fixed by simply revert:
commit	edc6f389f6ae9cb7621270a8ddbb1892bd8df125
"radeon: fix PCI bus mastering support enables."

As Alex is the author of the commit, I add CC to you. Would you please see what is going on here?
Comment 7 Rafael J. Wysocki 2008-10-27 10:29:36 UTC
What exactly do they apply to?
Comment 8 Alex Deucher 2008-10-27 11:10:56 UTC
they are against the upstream drm git tree, but should apply pretty trivially to the kernel as well.
Comment 9 Gu Rui 2008-11-06 21:00:52 UTC
I think the problem get fixed by the commit:

4e270e9b8a9d246290f3901f1fb6c5efdb734ddf
drm/radeon: fixup further bus mastering confusion.

at least it works well on my box ;) So I will close this entry.
Thanks Alex Deucher.
