ooouuu... smile thanks

philacorns i like your build (i have builded it and running it now), i think its better than mine, so maybe you could post it on aur and make some info for 5xxx users hmm... for example on catalyst 9.9 comments zone @ aur? smile  (i dont know better place)

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

@philacorns: thanks again, good work smile

BTW the reason why radeons 2xxx / 3xxx don't support OpenCL is that those chips don't have "Local Data Share". Theoretically its possible to handle OpenCL without that but performance would be too low.
Right now im in 99.9% sure that this 8.67 opencl driver doesn't support radeons 2xxx / 3xxx.

Stream SDK 2.0 beta package brings OpenCL support for graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 4000~5000, FirePro, FireStream, Mobility Radeon HD 4000, Mobility FirePro, Radeon Embedded and x86 microprocessors with SSE3 support.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

damn... i can't get opencl work on gpu sad
everytime i run some opencl application, like ati-stream-sdk-v2.0-beta4-lnx64/samples/opencl/bin/x86_64/DwtHaar1D it says:
Unsupported GPU device; falling back to CPU ...

also ati-stream-sdk-v2.0-beta4-lnx64/samples/cal/bin/x86_64/FindNumDevices
says:
CAL initialized.
Finding out number of devices :-
Device Count = 0
CAL shutdown successful.

I have no idea whats happening... ive got hd 4850 aboard.
Edit: and yes, i have tested it with and without 9.9 signature wink

Hmm...
Can some owner of hd 4xxx / 5xxx help and
1) install catalyst-beta  http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31216
2) download from this site http://developer.amd.com/GPU/ATISTREAMS … fault.aspx file called ati-stream-sdk-v2.0-beta4-lnx(32 or 64).tgz
3) unpack it and then as root run commands:
* ATISTREAMSDKROOT=/path_of_unpacked_downloaded_ati_file/ati-stream-sdk-v2.0-beta4-lnx(64 or 32)
* export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ATISTREAMSDKROOT/lib/x86_64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH     #for 64-bit systems
or export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ATISTREAMSDKROOT/lib/x86:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH      #for 32-bit systems
Edit: 4) also i suggest to copy that files: cp -r ati-stream-sdk-v2.0-beta4-lnx64/include/* /usr/iniclude/
and run this cmd: export DISPLAY=:0

and then run at least two tests I mentioned at the begining of this post?
Edit: i suggest to run those tests from root account and after you run 'xhost +' cmd from your user account (access control disabled, clients can connect from any host)   <~~ running 'xhost +' isn't secure (well its not so unsecure either), so when you'll end your tests please run cmd 'xhost -'

Maybe this no opencl problem occurs only in my case, but maybe we need to change something in PKGBUILD.
I don't know how to install ati-driver from their funny script, i have tried to do this, and driver works (without opencl) but i did this in very very dirty (and similar to PKGBUILD) way...

Please help, i'll be greatful smile

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Hi  this driver doesn't work on my PC (ATI 4870 (dvi), + (old) Screen 17" CRT (vga))
I use last kernel, 2.6.31 (on Archlinux i686)
Catalyst 9.9 doesn't work, I've uncomment the following line:
# patch -p0 < 2.6.31.patch
then, added ' !ttm !drm !radeon ' to the modules line in rc.conf (to disable them)

then restart
then > black screen

I try radeonhd, but it's really shit because Teeworld run at 0.5fps.

I try catalyst-beta doestn't work too.

watch my Xorg0.log here : http://forums.archlinux.fr/topic4722.html

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Hello to all. I have hd4850 card with catalyst-beta installed. Everything works fine eccept that - mouse cursor flickers when i move it (it appears and reappers quickly) - when i enable desktop effects or compiz. According to this site http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthrea … 3&page=241 i tried disable RandR12 and remove SWCursor option from xorg.conf, but nothing works. The same was already in generic catalyst driver. Anyone has solution for this? It's really annoying. Thanks in advance.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

@philacorns:
Im wondering could that "control trick" broke opencl sopport smile, but this doesnt matter cuz till now this driver gave us no such support, so its good, nevermind smile.

Edit: Do not read whats below, the size of libs is smaller cuz of makepkg is defaulty using 'strip' option to delete debagging info from libs, and it has no consequences on driver work

Btw can anybody tell me why md5 sums of libatical*.so files (placed in /usr/lib/) are different from those placed in original ati archive (archive_files/arch/x86_64/usr/lib64 for x86_64) ? Also their size is soooo different. This is strange... That /etc/ati/control is different too, maybe all that files got different sizes, hmm... Could it be effect of install command?

Examples:
size of original libaticalcl.so  = 229566
size of installed libaticalcl.so =  70416

This is soooooo huge different i cant even imagine, and its all cuz of install command which should copy and set atributtes? Gotta be kiddin xD

I dont have time to test that opencl support works with "cp + chmod" (not install) those libraries and files. This is just fast post, maybe i will find time tomorrow for tests.

edit : worked it out follow the instructions... I'm silly

Now on KDE I don't have any titlebars it's as if kwin isn't running.

I can't type anything either so I can't launch it

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

@kensai:
i think that philacorns was right making just one package of both catalyst and catalyst-utils, i dont see sense in catalyst separated to two packages. It maybe has sense if you're installing only catalyst module, and no addictions. It maybe had sense when catalyst was supported, and you could download only module, which is ~800kB fat, and it should worki if you had builded xorg.conf before (just geussing, i dont think catalyst works good in that way). But now when you must download ~80-90MB of ati driver it dont make sense, i even think that theres people which download this ati driver twicely, for catalyst and catalyst-utils smile.
So maybe it good idea to use 1 package? I may try to build 1 package (that wont be hard since philacorns do it for catalyst-beta)
Hmm... or if still wanna have 2 packages - use split package ( /usr/share/pacman/PKGBUILD-split.proto ), i may try to build split package.
I just need to find time for building those builds (maybe tomorrow, or later).

@kensai:
i think that philacorns was right making just one package of both catalyst and catalyst-utils, i dont see sense in catalyst separated to two packages. It maybe has sense if you're installing only catalyst module, and no addictions. It maybe had sense when catalyst was supported, and you could download only module, which is ~800kB fat, and it should worki if you had builded xorg.conf before (just geussing, i dont think catalyst works good in that way). But now when you must download ~80-90MB of ati driver it dont make sense, i even think that theres people which download this ati driver twicely, for catalyst and catalyst-utils smile.
So maybe it good idea to use 1 package? I may try to build 1 package (that wont be hard since philacorns do it for catalyst-beta)
Hmm... or if still wanna have 2 packages - use split package ( /usr/share/pacman/PKGBUILD-split.proto ), i may try to build split package.
I just need to find time for building those builds (maybe tomorrow, or later).

It should be one package then. Can you make a it and send it to me? Later I will pass it on to you, since I might not have the time to update it at all.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

2.6.31 and 9.10 are a no go for me - black screen of death is all I get sad

Checked rc.conf, reinstalled catalyst-utils and catalyst, recreated xorg.conf, deleted /etc/ati/amd... and whatnot. Man, I really, really hate this AMD crap so much, woar smile I think I will kick out this damn stupid card and fetch a NVidia card tomorrow. No more money for AMD from me.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

@woeye

I'm planning on releasing a new livecd this weekend that will give you a option to test out the 3d open source drivers for ati. I have test mesa-full with drm 3d drivers and everything works fine so far. Nexiuz is the only program that i have tried with open source 3d drivers that may crash X. Everything else works fine and shouldn't crash X.

I hope this will help.


I'm working on a live cds based on Archlinux. http://godane.wordpress.com/

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

This party is over for me.

I installed the opensource drivers with 3d support for r600/r700 and they are rally good - best performance
i have ever seen on amd cards.
