Am using Arch-testing x86_64 on an i7 930, Gigabyte X58A-UD5 mobo and Gigabyte HD 5770. Arch's testing repo comes with/I have installed the 2.6.37 kernel and Mesa 7.10.
My lsmod output:
My Xorg.0.log:
More succinctly:
KMS is working but direct rendering and Xv are not. Glxinfo gives me:
I'm in the video group and the root account gives me the same results. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, I'm using this PC on a Samsung HDTV and the radeon driver underscans the image, despite the fact that this HDTV doesn't overscan the image. It's easy enough to disable in X using xrandr but that doesn't fix the kernel framebuffer's own underscanning, which makes text rather difficult to read. I imagine it's as simple as adding a line to /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf but I have no idea what to add.

Also, I'm using this PC on a Samsung HDTV and the radeon driver underscans the image, despite the fact that this HDTV doesn't overscan the image. It's easy enough to disable in X using xrandr but that doesn't fix the kernel framebuffer's own underscanning, which makes text rather difficult to read. I imagine it's as simple as adding a line to /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf but I have no idea what to add.
