[9fans] radeon driver doesn't work: bad VGA control message "type radeon"

[Thomas Covello]

Dear comp.os.plan9,
When I installed and compiled Phillippe Anel's radeon driver, I get the
following error message:

aux/vga: vgactlw: <type radeon>: bad VGA control message "type radeon"

Please let me know and I will be happy to give you any configuration
details you need.

Sincerely,
Thomas Covello

Hi,

It seems you forgot to build/use a new kernel with the radeon driver.
At least, the kernel part didn't find the card. It could be a pciid
problem.

Could you execute aux/vga -v and send me the result ?

         Philippe,

Ps: I have updated the sources of the radeon driver (merged with the LCD
support by Latchesar Ionkov, added the X11 License from the X11 sources
I had to read, removed the pci_ids[] struture from the kernel part), but I
also found a bug with my radeon 8500 I'd like to fix before posting it
to the 9fans list.

you've compiled vgaradeon.c in the kernel but haven't compiled
/sys/src/cmd/aux/vga/, try doing 'mk install' there.

you can send me (privately) all the steps you followed for compiling
it if the above fails.

silly me, 'type' is a #v control message, so your kernel doesn't know about
radeons, not aux/vga...

philippe's email is right, i somehow missed it before replying myself
(changed subject line :)

I've mk install'd the whole OS for good measure. (It's pretty fast at
compiling, eh?)

% aux/vga -v
main->snarf
vga->snarf
radeon->snarf
+vgactlw type radeon
sequencer->enter on
sequencer->leave on
vgactlw: <type radeon>: bad VGA control message "type radeon"

I'll try installing the update tomorrow.

P.S.: I'm using a 7000 model.

Thanks for your help,
Thomas Covello

Ok. Remember to copy you compiled kernel to 9fat, and to update
your plan9.ini if needed.
9load doesn't boot kernels copied in /386 (at least when fossil is
the main filesystem).

The kernel you boot on doesn't have radeon support compiled in.
Could you send me your kernel configuration file ?

I still haven't fixed the bug I have with my radeon8500.
