=== [[GNU]]/[[Linux]] [[Debian]] & DRI Support for ATI [[Radeon]] [[IGP 320M]] on [[AmiloA]] [[Laptop]]===

See [[drm]] for DRI install on [[Debian]]

According to Debian [[XWindow]] Striking Force,
upcoming xserver-xfree86 will be nearer to 4.4 :
@ http://people.debian.org/~terpstra/message/20040712.051027.74293658.html

Interessing point is that DRI was working on xfree86-4.3.99.14+ but not 4.4.
@ http://XFree86.org @ http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314

At the same time it is not fully fonctionnal on xorg xserver :
@ http://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1678

So I wonder if there are any chances to get this card driver packaged in some official debian package

... if not then I will have to make my own ... any hints ?

===3D SUPPORT PATCH /  XFREE86 : 3D [[DRI]] XFREE 3.99 + [[Kernel]] 2.4  (20031015)===

If you follow all those step you may get dri Working on [[AmiloA]] until X patches are accepted and released in distribs.

You need to be familar with compiling kernel to do this part.

  cd /usr/local/src/
  wget -c http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.22.tar.bz2
  wget -c http://rzr.online.fr/docs/comp/config-2_4_22-jl15.txt
  wget -c http://www.sonarnerd.net/linux/2.4.22-jl15.patch.bz2
  tar fxvj *.bz2
  mv linux-2.4.22 /usr/src/linux
  cd /usr/src/linux
  bzcat ../patches/2.4.22-jl15.patch.bz2 |  patch -p1 -b | tee patch-out.txt
  make # see how to build kernel

Then You need to compile X

  cd /usr/local/src
  wget ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/develsnaps/XFree86-4.3.99.14.tar.bz2 #  41 MBytes
  wget -O 723-XFree86-4.4-20031012-igp.patch \
  http://bugs.xfree86.org/attachment.cgi?id=723&action=view
  tar fxvj XFree86-4.3.99.14.tar.bz2
  cd xc
  patch -b -p1 < ../723-XFree86-4.4-20031012-igp.patch
  # edit  xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/shared/drm/kernel/radeon.h
  # +#define __HAVE_SHARED_IRQ       0
  # /* rzr orig: #define __HAVE_SHARED_IRQ  1  */
  make World LINUXDIR=/usr/src/linux
  cd xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/kernel
  make -f Makefile.linux LINUXDIR=/usr/src/linux
  cp radeon.o /lib/modules/2.4.22-jl15/kernel/drivers/char/drm/radeon.o
  cd -
  tar fcvj  /usr/X11R6-bak.tar.bz2 /usr/X11R6
  make install clean
  reboot

Here is a tar ball (58MB) of the patched sources :
