Xorg...log shows it is defaulting to using VESA..not ati radeon

(1/3) > >>

gwalther:
The xorg log shows that there is a error (EE) just after listing all the ati radeon cards and then proceeds to use VESA.
(my card is listed)

The error message is "no such file or dir"../dev/dri/card0.

I have tried dCore trusty  on two computers, a laptop and desktop, both with radeon video cards, with same result...defaults to using VESA

Both computers will run Tinycore 4 using xorg 7.6 and Tinycore 5.0 using xorg7.7 and successfully load the radeon module.  I checked and file .../dev/dri/card0 exists in those instances.

Is it a newer version of Xorg that is used in dCore that is causing this behavior perhaps, or is it something else.  Has anyone got the radeon module to load with dCore?  Was the file.... /dev/dri/card0 created?

I download xorg-all....following the instructions in the README

gwalther:
Answering my own issue...in Tinycore I use firmware-radeon.tcz...
Maybe it is not loaded by xorg-all in dCore?   Could firmware-radeon be in firmware-all?

Jason W:
Ok, I see there is a discrepency in the firmware packages between Core and dCore.  Probably explains my lack of acceleration with Intel video.

WIll fix immediately.

gwalther:
Oh your good!  Will give it a test when you are ready.

Jason W:
Radeon seems to be in the Debian/Ubuntu package firmware-linux-nonfree.

Please test and let me know.  Other firmware packages are available separate via the Debian repo.

In that case, prebuilt firmware packages may not be necessary.  We can see if that is so.
