Via OpenChrome Install - drm fails to compile - Ubuntu 7.04 Fiesty Fawn

[MayOne.Net]

I've successfully compiled the OpenChrome driver under 7.04 for my Gateway MX3210 laptop with a VIA VN800 video card using a combination of the debian guide located here (gives a good list of things to install before you can compile):
http://wiki.openchrome.org/tikiwiki/...code+on+Debian

and the Ubutunu OpenChrome Docs located here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome

While this allowed me to increase the resolution, and appears to be working for 2d, when I run "glxinfo | grep render" I get the following error:

X Error of failed request: GLXBadContext
Major opcode of failed request: 143 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
Serial number of failed request: 19
Current serial number in output stream: 19

So, I attempted to install the custom libdrm and drm kernal modules. Using the process in the Ubuntu docs libdrm compiled and installed without problem. However, no luck with DRM. When I tried to make using

"sudo make LINUXDIR=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build DRM_MODULES=via"

I get the following error

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/build SUBDIRS=`pwd` DRMSRCDIR=`pwd` modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-15-generic'
CC [M] /home/shad/stuff/drm/linux-core/drm_compat.o
/home/shad/stuff/drm/linux-core/drm_compat.c:190: error: static declaration of ‘vm_insert_pfn’ follows non-static declaration
include/linux/mm.h:1126: error: previous declaration of ‘vm_insert_pfn’ was here

make[1]: *** [_module_/home/shad/stuff/drm/linux-core] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-15-generic'
make: *** [modules] Error 2

While I can live with 2d only, I would prefer 3d. Also if I have to live with 2d, how do I uninstall the libdrm, as it appears to be slowing down my boot & shutdown times.

FYI - was unable to use automake-1.9 as I could only apt-get 1.10. Would this be part of the problem? If so, how do I get 1.9?

Thanks for any help.

Same problem here, I'm assuming it's a change in the kernel based on the include. If I figure anything out I'll report back.

This is what I did. It appears to have worked, I get a positive response when I run glxinfo.

Find drm_compat.c in tmp/openchrome/drm/linux-core

gedit drm_compat.c

Find this (line 188 on mine):

static int vm_insert_pfn(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long addr,
		  unsigned long pfn)
{
	int ret;
	if (!drm_pte_is_clear(vma, addr))
		return -EBUSY;

	ret = io_remap_pfn_range(vma, addr, pfn, PAGE_SIZE, vma->vm_page_prot);
	return ret;
}

Change it to this (you are just commenting it out):

/*
static int vm_insert_pfn(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long addr,
		  unsigned long pfn)
{
	int ret;
	if (!drm_pte_is_clear(vma, addr))
		return -EBUSY;

	ret = io_remap_pfn_range(vma, addr, pfn, PAGE_SIZE, vma->vm_page_prot);
	return ret;
}
*/

then continue with the instructions as per normal:

make LINUXDIR=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build DRM_MODULES=via

sudo cp *.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/drm/

etc...

That worked for me, doesn't seem to be causing any problems.

I did much the same , I deleted the definition"static" which make complained about then everything went ok

Hello all I too have installed Ubuntu Feisty on my Gateway MX3230. When I ran

sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-via

then

sudo apt-get install subversion autoconf automake1.9

#

Change into the newly created directory

cd openchrome*

#

Run autogen.sh with the prefix option so that the driver is being installed in the correct directory

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr

#

Compile openChrome

make

When I run make I get

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

#

Install openChrome

sudo make install

and I get the same message for this line of command.


Am I doing something wrong? I also want to get 3d to work so that I can run Beryl on my laptop.


I also cannot

Find drm_compat.c in tmp/openchrome/drm/linux-core

there is no openchrome folder in /tmp. Thanks in advance!

How can i fix this?
When i run wine applications the X crash too..

I give up to try when i read this msg, I found in google

http://wiki.openchrome.org/pipermail...ry/002706.html

"You haven't done anything wrong at all. We have not implemented support
for this chipset in Mesa yet. As soon as we get spec sheets from VIA we
will tackle this."

I hope they tell us when ok
