Bug #: 50594 Summary: VDPAU checks version of wrong DRM driver Classification: Unclassified Product: Mesa Version: git Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux (All) Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Drivers/Gallium/r600 AssignedTo: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org ReportedBy: s_j_newbury@yahoo.co.uk
I have two DRM devices, i965 on-board, and a Radeon HD5450 in a docking station.
When both devices are enabled in my Xorg server layout "Screen0" is the i965, and "Screen1", the Radeon.
When I run vdpauinfo or try using mplayer -vo vdpau on the Radeon, I get the error:
do_winsys_init: DRM version is 1.6.0 but this driver is only compatible with 2.3.x (kernel 2.6.34) or later.
This is the version of the intel DRM driver!
The i965 obviously doesn't do VDPAU, since it's a "classic" driver, the Radeon, seems to be properly configured. DRI works fine on both. (glxgears etc)
I checked to see if it makes a difference whether card0<->card1, but it always looks at the wrong DRM.
