can not use intel GPU, no /dev/dri/card0

[uki]

Hi,

I'm getting the folowing error when I try to start X using intel drivers:

[ 8669.844] (II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so
[ 8669.844] (WW) VGA arbiter: cannot open kernel arbiter, no multi-card support
[ 8669.844] drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
[ 8669.844] Failed to change owner or group for file /dev/dri! 2: No
such file or directory
[ 8669.844] Failed to change owner or group for file /dev/dri/card0!
2: No such file or directory
[ 8669.844] drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such file or directory)
[ 8669.844] Failed to change owner or group for file /dev/dri/card0!
2: No such file or directory
[ 8669.844] drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such file or directory)
[ 8669.844] drmOpenDevice: Open failed

I assume I overlooked something while configuring the system (I dual
boot stable and release, this is on stable, release works fine).
Please help.

my make.conf has:
WITH_NEW_XORG="YES"
WITH_KMS="YES"

my kernconf:
device agp
device dpms
options X86BIOS

device drm
device i915drm
device radeondrm

Cheers,
Łukasz Gruner

Hi,

you should not need the last line. Delete it and see what happens.

That was not it (tried), the reason was my kernconf was wrong (didn't
yet figure out the details), because the GENERIC works flawlessly.

I have an i7 and use no drm in the kernel. Just load the modules when
you need them.
