Bug#533450: Success on Lenny but 3D not working
So I was able to get the Poulsbo 3D driver working on Debian Lenny (using 2.6.30 kernel), however 3D is not working because the xserver package in Lenny (and in Testing) does not have libdri2.so module and hence the *Load dri2* statement in the xorg.conf file fails. Not sure what is this new dri2 stuff.
Also I am summarizing some of the hacks/overwrites that I had to do in order to get it working on Lenny. Most of them are same as from Adam's email in which he nicely points them out. Here they are anyways for Lenny:
1. Had to force-overwrite the libdrm.so.2 file while installing libdrm-poulsbo1 package
2. Had to force-overwrite the libexa.so file while installing xserver-xorg-video-psb package
3. Symlink /usr/lib/libdrm.so.2.3.0 to /lib/
4. Comment the *Load "dri2"* line in the xorg.conf file in case if it is there.
5. You need to install the dkms package from testing in order to compile the psb-kernel-source package.
Once the above steps are done, I can start my X server without any problems. I am not a Xorg expert or a DD by any chance, so I am not sure how to avoid the above steps. It would be nice if somebody can cleanly create these packages (without doing the hacks) and put them on Debian testing/sid.
Thanks.
