Re: Xorg unloads radeon module because KMS is enabled

Have you discussed this with anybody on the FreeBSD xorg mailing list?

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-x11/

This seems like something the xorg maintainers would be aware of, and possibly have a work-around for.

In freebsd-x11 they told me that libdrm probably is build using WITH_KMS=YES, and that may be a problem on non Intel cards. Today I will try to build xorg with WITH_NEW_XORG=YES and WITH_KMS=YES on a clean FreeBSD, and see what happens. Btw. I guess Dru has told you about the Solaris-like beadm http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=31662, http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/beadm/. This is pretty smart for this xorg test, as I can roll back to the previous beadm as if nothing was changed.

Yes, the new snapshots are all built with WITH_NEW_XORG=YES, so we get the latest Intel drivers, etc. If that fails on your vanilla freebsd, then we can narrow it down to those enhancements causing the problem.

I've added the beadm port for future snapshots, will take a closer look at implementation down the road :)

Hi Kris

I was testing on a vanilla FreeBSD today. The problem lies in the graphics/libdrm port, where KMS is enabled. Disabling KMS in graphics/libdrm, makes xorg work, even with WITH_NEW_XORG=YES in /etc/make.conf.

I've added the beadm port for future snapshots, will take a closer look at implementation down the road :)

Btw, using beadm for this test, worked like a dream. Just rolled back to my working system ;)

Thanks for testing this! I've removed that WITH_KMS option for the next snapshot build we do, so we can test if it fixes the issue you see :)

No problem. When I can't work with it professional, I must do it for fun :) And thanks for removing WITH_KMS, think that would have coursed a lot of trouble for a lot of people using non-intel.
