I considerably improved it over the version I posted. I'll send it to the list when I get back. I removed the drmSetInterfaceVersion() from radeon_kms.c and it got much further. Starting Xserver as root apparently started normally, according to the log, although there was a permission denied error on mode set during init. I don't know whether it was related or not, but the display then hung with a non-blinking cursor. Strange to get a permission denied as root! Starting GNOME via gdm gives a working slow X session but for some reason only uses sw dri even though the Xorg log shows r200 DRI2 as initialized. Perhaps it's a config error somewhere.. ? startx as a regular user just works! But mutter doesn't, perhaps that's why a gnome session isn't working. It just gives the following error: Cogl-ERROR **: Failed to create texture 2d due to size/format constraints Mutter is supposed to work on r200, right? -- Sent from my Jolla _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
