FWIW my VIDEO_CARDS did include radeon, but not radeonsi. I interpret this bit of /usr/portage/profiles/desc/video_cards.desc to mean that including "radeonsi" restricts the build to only support SI, not add support for it: radeon - VIDEO_CARDS setting to build driver for ATI radeon video cards radeonsi - VIDEO_CARDS setting to build only Southern Islands based chips code for radeon Am I reading that wrong? The Xorg log I posted shows the radeon driver is being used, and probed my card as having a VERDE chipset. I didn't file a Gentoo bug because I thought that this part of what I reported in my dmesg: [ 11.109017] [drm:r600_uvd_init] *ERROR* UVD not responding, giving up!!! [ 11.109588] [drm:si_startup] *ERROR* radeon: failed initializing UVD (-1). could have tickled a bug that prevents my card from reporting it is direct-rendering capable. Isn't this the place to report possible bugs in the DRI code in the upstream kernel? So, please don't resolve this as fixed just yet.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
