[drm] drmOpen failed; MACH64(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit Failed

[Corbin Simpson]

The DRI drivers are userspace. The DRM component for mach64, a kernel
driver, isn't included in the standard Linux kernel. You are probably on
your own as far as obtaining and building it.

Thanks for your reply, Alex.

SliTaz has available a package that it calls "mesa-dri-ati" and that it
describes
as "Mesa DRI drivers for AMD/ATI Radeon and mach64 (include Rage128)".

My system reports that I have that package installed and that one of the
files in
the package is called mach64_dri.so.

If I load that driver, will that overcome my problem? If yes, how do I do
that,
by editing xorg.conf in some way?

(I should add that I just tried to load it using modprobe, but that didn't
work.
Sorry, I'm not too good at these things!)

Thanks again,


Leslie
