Sorry for the cross-posting, problem seems to cross these three lists;
remove inappropriate ones on reply if desired.
I've got a VIA EPIA box which has the CastleRock CLE266 video
chipset. Matt Dillion provided instructions on how to get the port
XFree86-4-Server-snap to run, so I've been able to run its 4.3.99.12
build for a while.
Last night I updated the port, which got XFree86 4.3.99.15. It works
on my other non-VIA machines, but on the VIA CLE266 box it bombs upon
startup, using the same XFree86Config file I had been using
earlier. /var/log/XFree86.0.log repeats several times before death:
Symbol drmOpen from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/via_drv.o is unresolvable
Symbol drmClose from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/via_drv.o is unresolvable
After some googling I added lines to my XFree86Config:
Load "vbe"
Load "int10"
Load "drm"
This made the "drmOpen/drmClose unresolvable" messages go away, but it
died anyway, with no indication why.
I suspected that DRI/DRM isn't working for me, since VIA isn't one of
the common chipsets that seem to be supported, like here:
/usr/src/sys/modules/drm:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 141 Sep 9 2003 Makefile
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 110 Nov 6 2002 Makefile.inc
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 14 06:04 mga
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 14 06:04 r128
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 14 06:04 radeon
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 14 06:04 sis
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 14 06:04 tdfx
I then recomiled the XFree86-4-Server-snap after hacking the Makefile
to get it to *not* use:
RUN_DEPENDS+= ${X11BASE}/lib/modules/dri/r200_dri.so:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/dri
BuildXF86DRI= YES
PLIST_SUB+= DRI=""
But again, it died on the VIA on startup, with no message indicating
what failed in the log file.
Am I correct in thinking that the problem is with FreeBSD's DRI/DRM
support of the VIA CLE266 chips? If so, is there a way to tell
XFree86Config to NOT use these features, to disable these options?
If it's something else, any suggestions for a work-around?
If 4.3.99.15 simply won't on my HW, can someone provide the
incantation to cvsup the port from back when it used XFree86-4.3.99.12 ?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks.
