Running Fedora 4 and have the same problem using an Epia xorg rpm from
http://washington.kelkoo.net with 2.6.13-1.1524FC4.
I think that it is not a problem with the rpm. I found the udev
development page and I noted that the change log had a line about turning
*off* creation of /dev/dri entries (dated about March 2005).
And in my case, xorg.0.log shows that there is no /dev/dri/cardx (where x
is 0-254) and thereupon dri fails and drm is turned off.
I note that dmesg implies that dri is properly loaded... it does not
report the failure apparently.
So now the trick is to figure out how to create a udev rule which will
create the /dri/cardx entries....
Or step back to the unichrome snaps, instead of the kernel versions,
although that might not actually fix the problem, which appears to be
udev..
Any takers...because I am waaaaayyyy past my depth already!
