compiz running with fglrx drivers and AIGLX

maci · 2007-10-23 18:40:50

Hi there.
Just for the record, i just tried out the new AMD fglrx drivers. (They are not in the arch repos yet)
/* Edit: By now they are in testing repo */

Believe it or not Compiz works!
I tested compiz-fusion like this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Com … Repository

Known issues:
*amdcccle refuses to start
*compiz does not work when using a dualhead setup
*some games (Tremulous, ioquake3(?),.....?) have a weird gamma when running in fullscreen, they are all dark and have weak colours, its fine in window mode
*xv video output is flickering
*running quake2world in fullscreen causes the same flickering - i think this is a compiz bug not an ATI bug.
*strange white borders around things when using GTK window decorator, use emerald instead

[maci@notebob ~]$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep Compos
(**) Extension "Composite" is enabled
[maci@notebob ~]$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep AIGL|grep -v WW
(==) AIGLX enabled
(II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so

I also made a cheap benchmark:

fglrx 8.40.4:

[maci@notebob ~]$ fgl_glxgears 
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
2178 frames in 5.0 seconds = 435.600 FPS
2238 frames in 5.0 seconds = 447.600 FPS
2258 frames in 5.0 seconds = 451.600 FPS

fglrx 8.42.3:

[maci@notebob ~]$ fgl_glxgears 
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
2964 frames in 5.0 seconds = 592.800 FPS
3159 frames in 5.0 seconds = 631.800 FPS
3147 frames in 5.0 seconds = 629.400 FPS

Holy molly!

I can't believe it! The new ATi driver is out and it supports Composite? I must be dreaming!

*runs off to grab the new driver.
*Discovered that it isn't in 64 bit testing repository, yet.

Thanks for spreading the news, maci, and if it's ok with you, could you please share your xorg.conf file with us?

PS. You guys might be interest in this article on Phoronix about the new driver: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=a … =887&num=1

I'll be building this for the official repos tonight - I'm going to start in about 10 minutes.

anyone can confirm this ?

raul_nds · 2007-10-23 22:41:46

So basically you changed "radeon" to "fglrx" ?

pirx · 2007-10-23 23:40:43

argh: "This does not include support for the FireGL series, but the workstation compatibility will be introduced next month in fglrx 8.43"

Waiting for 8.43

Cerebral · 2007-10-24 01:24:46

hm - I'm getting unpleasantness with these drivers on my 9600XT.. glibc double-free errors all over the place if I have my dual-head setup going, graphical artifacts in the bottom-right corner and under the mouse, AIGLX not working... I'll be sticking with 8.40.4 personally.

However, I will have 8.42.3 in [testing] shortly.

thunderwolf318 · 2007-10-24 02:24:50

What kernel are you trying to build it for?
according to this http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=a … =887&num=1 it does not support 2.6.23

EDIT: Just found this http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5952 looks like someone made a patch

i used the patch you can find in cvs

maci · 2007-10-24 07:38:47

i am at work now so i was able to try dualhead as well.
i can report the same problems when using dualhead+compiz, just dualhead works fine but as soon as i use compiz it fucks up

jarryson · 2007-10-24 08:03:35

Good ,i had been waiting for it for a loog time..

Avenger · 2007-10-24 08:06:42

Hmm, I can't get compiz to work on my laptop with a Mobility X700 chip, all I get is:

compiz (core) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0

Here are som logs, it seems like AIGLX and composite is enabled correctly:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep AIGLX
(==) AIGLX enabled
(WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x23
... (I get loads of these)
(WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x72
(II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep Composite
(**) Extension "Composite" is enabled

fglrxinfo prints out:

display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI MOBILITY RADEON X700
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6958 Release

"GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap" is listed under "server glx extensions" and "client glx extensions" in glxinfo.

I try to start compiz like this:
compiz --replace gconf

anyone else has issues with starting amdcccle in this or any previous version ?

miggols99 · 2007-10-24 08:35:02

How about 64bit? I have been waiting for this for a looong time. 32bit shouldn't get all the love

maci · 2007-10-24 08:36:19

my 64bit box has an nividia card
but however the PKGBUILD should work fine on 64bit boxes as well, just try it

bboozzoo · 2007-10-24 08:48:22

well suspend works with 2.6.22 (the last one before .23 appeared in repos), can anyone comment on *.23?

as for amdcccle I get the same problem, fd 10 corresponds to socket for connecting to Xserver:

socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0)         = 10
connect(10, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/tmp/.X11-unix/X0"}, 110) = 0

so there seems to be a problem either with X or with the driver itself, perhaps it would work on xserver 1.4 (if I remember correctly, you can find it in testing). But then people in phoronix forums had problems with performance and suspend on 1.4

i have the same problem.. also since the previous version.

maci · 2007-10-24 09:36:55

im running 2.6.23 havent tried suspend yet.
anyways i dont think it will work..
i cant even start an xserver twice.. since a lot of fglrx versions already
once i killed my xserver i need to reboot to start it again since the screen will just stay black when running startx

anyway good to know im not the only one having issues with amdcccle

Mikko777 · 2007-10-24 10:18:05

Well great, atleast i can report good news again.

Running latest .23 kernel, xorg 1.4, Danimoths official compiz, and cerebral's fglrx.

tests: AMD3000+ and Radeon9600pro.

mikko@desktop:~$ glxgears
19550 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3909.959 FPS
19564 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3912.744 FPS
19568 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3913.499 FPS
mikko@desktop:~$ fgl_glxgears
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
3448 frames in 5.0 seconds = 689.600 FPS
4215 frames in 5.0 seconds = 843.000 FPS
4201 frames in 5.0 seconds = 840.200 FPS

A bit more improvement from .41 drivers.
Amdcccle still refuses to start for me too.

[root@desktop mikko]# amdcccle
Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed

Also mouse (evdev) is messed up in fullscreen apps??? moves really weird. (wrong direction, in slowmotion)
(normal in gnome)

and compiz seems to crap on me too:

[/c... executing: compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp
compiz (core) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

Well gotta tweak some more.

Tried it but no go, if I use LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 I get another error though:
compiz (core) - Fatal: No valid GL extensions string found.
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

About amdcccle, it won't start here either, it just does nothing when I start it.
