Hi
i have a sapphire radeon HD7850.
Yesterday i've decided to drop the catalyst driver and install the open source one.
I've followed the wiki to uninstall the Catalyst driver, and then again to install the open source one.
here my "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf"
Section "Device"
Identifier "Radeon"
Driver "Radeon"
Option "SWcursor" "off"
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "on"
EndSection
BUTwhen i try to change the Kwin render from (desktop effect -> advanced) Xrender to opengl, everything seems ok (no error, i can accept the new configuration), but it complain some effect aren't activated because they need OpenGL! O.o
so from terminal i've run:
kwin --replace
and tryed againg to set OpenGL; i've got:
kwin(1085) KWin::Compositor::slotCompositingOptionsInitialized: Initializing OpenGL compositing
kwin(1085) KWin::GlxBackend::initBufferConfigs: Drawable visual (depth 24 ): 0x "12e"
kwin(1085) KWin::GlxBackend::initBufferConfigs: Drawable visual (depth 32 ): 0x "58"
kwin(1085) KWin::GlxBackend::initBuffer: Buffer visual (depth 24 ): 0x "132"
OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.2, 128 bits)
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 9.1.1
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
Driver: LLVMpipe
GPU class: Unknown
OpenGL version: 2.1
GLSL version: 1.20

Linux kernel version: 3.8.3
Direct rendering: yes

GLSL shaders: yes
Texture NPOT support: yes
Virtual Machine: no
NO VSYNC! glXGetVideoSync, haveSwapInterval, glXIsDirect false false 1
kwin(1085) KWin::GlxBackend::init: DB: true , Direct: true
kwin(1085) KWin::SceneOpenGL2::supported: Driver does not recommend OpenGL 2 compositing
kwin(1085) KWin::SceneOpenGL1::supported: Driver does not recommend OpenGL 1 compositing
kwin(1085): OpenGL driver recommends XRender based compositing. Falling back to XRender.
kwin(1085): To overwrite the detection use the environment variable KWIN_COMPOSE
kwin(1085): For more information see http://community.kde.org/KWin/Environment_Variables#KWIN_COMPOSE
kwin(1085): Failed to initialize compositing, compositing disabled
kwin(1085): Consult http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KWin/4.0-release-notes#Setting_up
kwin(1085) KWin::Compositor::slotCompositingOptionsInitialized: Initializing XRender compositing
kwin(1085) KWin::currentRefreshRate: Vertical Refresh rate 60 Hz
also
KWIN_COMPOSE=o kwin --replace
give the same result!
LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo >> /dev/null
give
libGL: screen 0 does not appear to be DRI2 capable
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/tls/swrast_dri.so
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/swrast_dri.so
I can't understand why the driver can't use OpenGL, as far as i know it should be ok with my graphic card!
anyone have a clue to where i can find some useful log/info, or can tell me what i'm doing wrong?

Did you try to turn off the opengl 2 shaders? Maybe turn off/on vsync too?
I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts...

i can't understand where i should look to track the problem

Have you removed "nomodeset" from your bootloader kernel entry?

HD 7000 series and newer use glamor for 2D acceleration. Try removing the line containing "EXA" (and other lines beginning with the word "Option" as they might conflict with glamor, once you get everything working, then, if you really need those options, you can try adding them back, apart from "AccelMethod" "EXA" that is) from your 20-radeon.conf and adding those described in the wiki under the glamor section.

andy_v I love you
finally my wobbly windows are back! let's try steam!!
my X11 conf:
Section "Module"
Load "dri2"
Load "glamoregl"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Radeon"
Driver "Radeon"
Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
EndSection

Can you report how Steam goes with RadeonSI?

Why don't you just try it out?
You aren't supposed to necro bump posts, especially not when you have no new information to provide.
