Nice work guys. DRM on alpha has been broken for quite a while. Be
nice to see it going again!
I see the patch for pci resource files on sysfs has appeared. Just
compiled the latest kernel (...29-rc4) with the patch and I have
resource files on my ev56 system. I am not able to install xserver 1.5
yet - the Debian experimental branch which contains the latest xserver
has broken dependencies for Alpha (and I don't have time to do a build
of the xserver myself).
But I did discover that the rhd_dump program from the radeonhd project,
which used to dump zeroes only, now dumps what looks like useful
information from my radeon hd2400 graphics card. (The card still
doesn't POST properly but that's probably an issue of upgrading the
xserver - I seem to remember seeing a number of POST issues in
changelogs at some point.)
Well. This means, it would make sense to at least try to apply the patch
you mentioned to the kernel and try to start xsrv 1.5.
Do you have any link to the patch?
