Good thought, but I'm running the stock kernel package for k6, the
config file shows these enabled. I'm wondering about the lines from the
XFree.0.log that read:
drmOpenDevice: minor is 0
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)
drmOpenDevice: Open failed
drmOpenDevice: minor is 0
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)
drmOpenDevice: Open failed
[drm] failed to load kernel module "mga"
I don't have a device /dev/dri/card0. Am I supposed to be running devfs?
Kernel config shows
$ grep DEVFS config-2.4.20-k6
CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y
# CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT is not set
# CONFIG_DEVFS_DEBUG is not set
TIA, PM
PS: I tried some of the other suggestions for XF86Config, but no luck.
