Arch Linux install latest xserver,mesa,ati

[Execute_Method]

I have moved to Arch from Ubuntu, and I am unsure of the process to get everything installed. I am going to try this later today (when I get home from work). I am posting now, so if anyone has any pointers for me I might have a fighting chance when I do.

I am aware that the easy-drm-modules-installer is made for Ubuntu, so I'm not sure how to get the right modules installed.

What about mesa?

As well, would I (make install) the xserver updates(from the orig. tarballs) from the edgers repo, or use packagebuild (or something else)?

I am running 2.6.25 kernel, w/ rv535 ati.

Thank You in advance.

Use PKGBUILDS for drm, mesa, and Xorg drivers. Unfortunately, I have been unable to locate a PKGBUILD for the Xserver 1.4.99 series, or to build it from git. I'm attempting to modify an older one to build the new Xserver, but I've still got some problems to iron out.

[Execute_Method]

can you please elaborate on this process for me. where do I get the source & package builds from? I looked in ABS, and didn't see anything.

Your help is appreciated!

[Execute_Method]

I got drm and ati loaded, I still can't find a package build that'll work with mesa 7.1 or the x-server. Any Ideas?

BTW I get this in my Xorg.0.log:

 cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep EE

(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER

Is this because of the mesa library being 7.0.3, or is it another issue?

Here's my answer, I definitely need mesa 7.1... any Arch help with a PKGBUILD for it?

yes 7.0.3 doesn't support the rs cards.

I have a mesa 7.1 PKGBUILD that I made by modifying the older 7.03 PKGBUILD. It isn't very pretty, but I'll post it when I get home.

Thank You, that would be so helpful!

[Execute_Method]

BTW
Tech, do you have direct rendering with your setup, or do you still need the xserver upgrade to get it?... Which card are you running?

[Execute_Method]

Here's an update!

I am now running the 2.6.26-zenmm rc8 kernel (which, by the way, is a bit faster and is running very stable...so far). <-That means I don't have to load the DRM, right?

I did load libdrm before the kernel update:

[stephen@ephraim ~]$ pacman -Q libdrm
libdrm 2.3.1-1

Do I need to load it again?

I installed mesa 7.1 (via a modified PKGBUILD. src came from: http://www.mesa3d.org/beta/. and the build and install finished without error)

[stephen@ephraim ~]$ pacman -Q mesa
mesa 7.1-3

but glxinfo still shows:

[stephen@ephraim ~]$ glxinfo |grep version
unknown chip id 0x71c1, can't guess.
libGL warning: 3D driver returned no fbconfigs.
libGL error: InitDriver failed

server glx version string: 1.2
client glx version string: 1.4
GLX version: 1.2
OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1 Mesa 7.0.3)

The hex is showing different here than before, which makes me think it installed properly, but I'm not sure.

	libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXdmcp.so.6 (0xb7c26000)

xserver is still 1.4.2, do I need to update that now that I'm using the custom kernel?

I am still getting this error though:

[stephen@ephraim ~]$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep EE

I could really use some guidance here.
