xorg-server-git - Just try it already! Yaourt ready!

ilikenwf · 2008-08-08 02:27:52

Everything should work now.

To install, just use yaourt -S xorg-server-git and enjoy your somewhat long (30-45 min ish) compile time that is spread out between all the -git packages from xorg.

Consider trying the xinit-git package as well, also via yaourt. You may have to use pacman -Rd <packagename> before installing <packagename>-git from this. Otherwise, all should be peachy! Report any errors or bugs here, please!

Those pkgbuilds are not quite as fixed as you claim

1) there is no 'nolibtool' option (at least makepkg says so, perhaps '!libtool'?)
2) your mesa-git pkgbuild doesn't install headers in 'GL/internal' (see mine)
3) replaces array shouldn't be used
4) md5sum for patch
5) libdrm should conflict, too
6) something I've forgotten about

see you later

Moved here, where it's more relevant.

I have two messages.

The good one is I managed to make it all work, including direct rendering with my Intel GMA X3100.
The bad one is that Tremulous freezes the whole system, so I guess I'll just wait for the next official release...

1.5 branch

All pkgbuilds I've used: http://disk.jabbim.cz/jury@jabber.cz/xorg.tar.gz

Some are just downloaded from AUR, some modified. Built successfuly on arch64. Driver needs PageFlip option enabled. Some opengl apps work but Q3 engine freezes system. Perhaps it could work with eg. nouveau or radeon.

ilikenwf · 2008-08-11 22:24:14

I updated ALL of those builds, mine and yours. I put them all up. I also used bits and pieces (your mods to my code were good...) and added you to the contributor line on the ones using your code.

Also, the xorg git doesn't have a server 1.5 branch anymore, so I changed the PKGBUILD to use master instead.

I'd say this stuff is all ready to try by the masses, now.

ilikenwf · 2008-08-13 22:02:16

All fixed. Mesa-git is mine, and everythign SHOULD be working. Use yaourt and the installation of xorg-server-git should go very smoothly!

Don't forget to consider installing xinit-git as well!

Hi !

Today's version of Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex gave me a 3D support for my Ati radeon xpress 200M with the latest open source driver.
Just to be clear, I'm an ArchLinux user, i just installed Intrepid Ibex to figure out when I'ld be able to get 3D support without having to recompile x.org all the time from git.
So, I wanted to recompile X.org on Arch Linux, I did exactly the same as you are advising me too (that is basically "yaourt xorg-server") , but, I get a few errors when X restarts.

The first error is :
(==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Sun Aug 17 17:02:04 2008
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
Parse error on line 14 of section Files in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
"RgbPath" is not a valid keyword in this section.
(EE) Problem parsing the config file
(EE) Error parsing the config file

And when I get rid of RgbPath (by commenting it), It complains about the lack of modules like synaptics : http://pastebin.com/m7bce2cad
I understand fglrx would not work with it because the API changed, but I don't understand why modules like synaptic, type1, mouse, record, freetype or kbd would not work...
Don't they ship with xorg-server's package ?

Hope my bug report is sufficient, here is my xorg.conf : http://pastebin.com/m359aa2c5

In the hope of a simple mistake from myself, have a good week end

EDIT 1 (2008-08-17 18h56 (GMT+1)) : I added xf86-input-keyboard-git and xf86-input-mouse-git, and it's now working.
But there is now a problem with fonts. Some text is partially rendered (sometimes, only the upper part of the letters is drawn).

It could be interesting to create a basic skeleton of xorg.conf for xorg-server 1.5, isn't it ?

OK, I discovered that the problem was because of the option DRI set to true. As long as it is set to off, the system is usable.

But, in the Xorg's log, I can see that :
(EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/r300_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/r300_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
(EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/swrast_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/swrast_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
(EE) GLX: could not load software renderer

I discovered that mesa 7.1rc4 has been put in abs (testing/mesa). So, I compiled it from here and it gave me exactly the same.
What should I do ?

You should install the git versions of xf86-input-keyboard and mouse, as well as the git version of any other modules that are throwing errors at you. If any are missing, I can make the PKGBUILD for you, if you'd like; however I can't really test them since I don't have your hardware.

MuPuF · 2008-08-19 10:21:18

Hi, thx, I did it (see edit 1 from my first post), Xorg is running fine now except the problem explained at my second post.

I really feel ashamed not to have thought about xf86-input-keyboard-git and xf86-input-mouse-git, but thx to google, I found someone who was as dumb as i was :d

Raedwulf · 2008-08-27 09:24:42

MuPuf, what graphics card do you have and do you have 3d acceleration?

MuPuF · 2008-08-30 11:58:01

Hi, I have a Radeon Xpress 200M (that is basically a r300 model), it has started being supported 4 months ago, and since then, i'm trying to get the OSS driver work.

About the 3D acceleration :

[mupuf@cathaou ~]$ glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
server glx extensions:
GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap,
GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer,
GLX_OML_swap_method, GLX_SGI_swap_control, GLX_SGIS_multisample,
GLX_SGIX_fbconfig, GLX_SGIX_visual_select_group

So, it's seems like it's not working, but

[mupuf@cathaou ~]$ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxgears
libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 5.3.0 r300 (screen 0)
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/dri/r300_dri.so
libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib/dri/r300_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/r300_dri.so: undefined symbol: _glapi_tls_Context)
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri//r300_dri.so
libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri//r300_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri//r300_dri.so: undefined symbol: _glapi_tls_Context)
libGL error: unable to load driver: r300_dri.so
4460 frames in 5.0 seconds = 890.167 FPS

This is strange, I get a high FPS value with low CPU usage, so, it seems like it is accelerated anyway.

Raedwulf · 2008-08-31 06:26:41

Ah ok, I'm using a intel x3100 and is just software rendering for me = 60fps.

MuPuF · 2008-08-31 23:50:51

Hope you'll soon get 3D acceleration.
Anyway, problem's still the same with testing packages.
But, it gave me a regression with keymap (the french one) doesn't work anymore.
It is really painful to write this ...
It's time to go to bed now, hope it'll get fixed during the night.
bye

JGC · 2008-09-02 14:57:42

Software rendering is more than 60fps. Your framerate is limited by vsync, which ties it to the refreshrate of your screen. Nothing buggy here.
