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

<< < (2/3) > >>

gwalther:
Used sce-import -r -b to get firmware-linux-nonfree...
Manually moved ..firmware-linux-nonfree to top of sceboot.lst
reboot.....no change .../dev/dri/card0...still not created ....xorg reverts to using VESA
confirmed that radeon firmware req'd was in..lib/firmware/radeon

Tried on laptop as well...same result..no go

Compared dmesg and xorg log  with non-working dcore and working tinycore:

working systems have alot of [drm] messages in dmesg...non-working dcore does not
non-working dcore xorg log shows error after listing of cards for radeon moduel
EE open /dev/dri/card0: no such file

Seems like something is missing other then firmware...agpgart..maybe
In working system dmesg contains agpgart references lines that do not show in non-working systems

gwalther:
After a little more looking and comparing dcore to tiny core Xorg's, I think the dcore equivalent to Tinycore's ...graphics-KERNEL.tcz...(drm files)  maybe missing and/or the dri files found in the xorg-7.5-3d.tcz extension.   Going to do more looking.

Jason W:
There is a graphics-3.16.6-tinycore package in dCore.

gwalther:
Solved...combination of firmware and graphics-3.16.6 did the trick.  Xorg now uses radeon driver not VESA.

Suggest the README-X-Desktop.txt be modified to include note about
possible needing to download ... graphics-3.16.6 ...and video card firmware...or maybe all video related firmware should be included in xorg-all

Makes a noticeable difference

Jason W:
I vote for video firmware to be included in xorg-all, hence it's name.  That way no one else has to try to figure out the right individual packages.
