fglrx won't initalise DRI

Hi all,

The fglrx driver seems to fail on loading the drm module and
DRI fails
to initialise on my ATI X1900. Same result on both Dapper
and Edgy...

The errors in Xorg.log are:
(II) Reloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/linux/libdrm.so
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device or
address)
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device or
address)
drmOpenDevice: Open failed
[drm] failed to load kernel module "fglrx"
(WW) fglrx(0): Failed to open DRM connection

and:
(II) fglrx(0): Composite extension enabled, disabling direct
render
(WW) fglrx(0):
***********************************************
(WW) fglrx(0): * DRI initialization failed!                 
*
etc.


fglrxinfo gives the output:
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display
":0.0".
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
etc.


Attached are my full Xorg.log and xorg.conf files. Any one
know how I
can get DRI to work properly? X-Video isnt working which is
really
annoying! The free ati drivers wont work at all.

Cheers,
Mark

Thanks for the suggestion. The error is slightly different
in
xorg.0.log now, so I think there may be another problem.
IIRC this is
now back to the same error I got in dapper :s

From Xorg.0.log:
(II) Loading extension ATIFGLRXDRI

drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0

Any other possibilities?

Many thanks,

Everything has been going fine on my mythbox and tried to
make lirc begin at 
startup.
 
 I used the following command from the wiki:
 
 sudo update-rc.d lirc defaults
 
 This produced an error message that lirc was not installed.
 
 I then tried sudo update-rc.d lircd defaults as sudo lircd
is the command I 
needed to type into make lirc work.
 
Also irw does not work any more and the backend doesn't
start automatically 
now as did before.

Any ideas?

Aha, solved it in two parts, firstly due to being a complete
idiot I
didnt notice linux-restricted-modules wasn't installed. This
is a bad
thing. After that there was still a problem that libgl was
looking for
fglrx_dri.so in compltely the wrong place so I had to add
export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/dri
to /etc/profile

Hope this helps anyone else, although I doubt anyone else
would be
quite that stupid

Did you install FGLRX from the Ubuntu repos or from the ATI
website?
I'm using FGLRX drivers from the Ubuntu repo and didn't have
to make
any modifications to environment variables or files.

Thanks for the update!

No I used the Ubuntu repository, so I'm really not sure why
I
encountered this. Maybe because I upgraded from Dapper to
Edgy? Or it
might have been a problem similar to the one that caused me
to lose
linux-restricted-modules on upgrade to Edgy because I
commented out
the restricted repo by mistake.
