Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

KDE desktop effects work here with 13.2 beta 3 driver (non-legacy).

I did a test and desktop effects are working without any issues. But still there isn't any direct OpenGL rendering support for us.

EDIT: After a few reboots and struggling with KWin, it looks like Blur effect is completely broken with legacy catalyst drivers. After switching to open source drivers, problem is gone. Thank you AMD!!! big_smile

Effects are working nicely here with legacy drivers on Mobility HD3470 and KDE 4.10, including blur. I set compositing type to OpenGL and Qt graphics system to raster in the desktop configuration effects. Not blazing fast but it works. First boot with 4.10, let's see how things will evolve...

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Hi,
I am still not sure what was wrong about my system. Then i switched back to open source drivers (bad 3D experience drove me crazy), after that i re-switched to catalyst-legacy. I didn't make anything special but it works fine now. I added these infos to bugzilla entry.

//edit : hell no, It's gone again and crashing everytime i click on "Re-enable OpenGL detection". I was checking some options at "general" settings of Desktop Effects. And there is still no debug symbols on arch. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10975

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

After installing and switching between catalyst legacy , open source drivers and different xorg-server versions problem still persists for me with legacy one.

KWin state : First boot OK    -  OK on every reboot  -  First boot OK    -  Still working OK
Used driver: Legacy catalyst  -  Open source driver  -  Legacy catalyst  -  Open source driver

Same for me on hd6870 with latest beta: a few reboots on 4.10 and opengl is a dead duck.

eta: gnome is in fallback mode too now. fuck catalyst. fuck linux in fact.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

A few important words about [catalyst] repo

1) soon catalyst.apocalypsus.net domain won't work, please switch to catalyst.wirephire.com
Apocalypsus is changing hosting server and he's forced to disown old, nice apocalypsus.net domain.
All files and all repositories were mirrored to the new server.
Apocalypsus.net is now redirected to Wirephire.com so you can still use it, but not for long - it will work only for 16 days out now.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Please update your pacman.conf file with the new address, ie:

[catalyst]
http://catalyst.wirephire.com/repo/catalyst/$arch

Also [xorg11*] repos users should to change pacman.conf's urls, ie:

[xorg112]
Server = http://catalyst.wirephire.com/repo/xorg112/$arch

2) [catalyst] repo will become more like a testing/beta repo
with latest catalyst drivers - no matter if it will be a beta or stable one, just latest.
As mentioned earlier the new repo will come - [catalyst-stable] - with latest stable release, for those who prefer stable catalysts.

[catalyst-stable]
Server = http://catalyst.wirephire.com/repo/catalyst/$arch

I've almost finished building of new packages, just a few tests, uploading and it will work.
edit: ok, it's updated now

[catalyst]
Server = http://catalyst.wirephire.com/repo/catalyst/$arch

Soon i will update wiki with those news

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

I upgraded to Linux 3.7.6-1 and catalyst-13.2-1, but now I get a backtrace: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/4751764

Edit: I have a Radeon HD 7950. I tried using catalyst-hook instead so that I could compile my own fglrx driver, just in case the fglrx driver I had was out of date, but that didn't work either.

Edit 2: Downgrading catalyst to catalyst-13.1-3 fixes it with 3.7.6-1

Check your system for other fglrx modules, looks like you have two conflicting modules installed,
have a look at your log, here the module is presenting in one version:

[   195.815] (II) AMD Proprietary Linux Driver Version Identifier:9.01.11
[   195.815] (II) AMD Proprietary Linux Driver Release Identifier: 9.012                                
[   195.815] (II) AMD Proprietary Linux Driver Build Date: Dec 19 2012 14:41:10

while couple of lines later it's presenting in other:

[   195.889] (II) fglrx(0): Kernel Module Version Information:
[   195.889] (II) fglrx(0):     Name: fglrx
[   195.889] (II) fglrx(0):     Version: 12.10.5
[   195.889] (II) fglrx(0):     Date: Jan 28 2013

maybe the old module was not removed properly?

I'm guessing the server change has affected the PGP signature. I can't download packages from [catalyst-stable]:

error: catalyst-utils: signature from "Vi0L0 <vi0l093@gmail.com>" is invalid
error: lib32-catalyst-utils: signature from "Vi0L0 <vi0l093@gmail.com>" is invalid
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature))
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Edit: Hmm, actually, pacman may be holding onto previously-downloaded packages of the same name from the Arch official repos...

Currently I'm using the open source driver too. No, we should probably wait for 14.2 or *buy* a nvidia card tongue

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Ok, I've tried everything so it's time to get some help from BBS big_smile

OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 5450     
OpenGL version string: 4.2.12002 Compatibility Profile Context 9.012
OpenGL shading language version string: 4.20
OpenGL extensions:

Substantially, I am using catalyst and to be precise:

local/catalyst-dkms 13.1-1
    AMD proprietary gpu kernel driver
local/catalyst-utils 13.1-1
    AMD Catalyst drivers utilities and libraries.
local/lib32-catalyst-utils 13.1-1
    AMD Catalyst drivers libraries (32 bits)

But, OpenGL doesn't work. Glxgears remain stuck (no animation, just the still gears)
Google earth crashs my entire system.
I am using XFCE with compositor but have no transparency .. and of course, if I try to
use cairo-dock have a beautiful black rectangle behind the dock big_smile

I've also tried to run vblank_mode=0 glxgears or vblank_mode=1 glxgears .... gears remain still.
as suggested here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 9#p1114079

This is part of my xorg log (I don't get any error, just some warnings)

[     9.262] (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/OTF/" does not exist.
[     9.367] (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)

is just the HDMI audio output:

1:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Cedar HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 5400/6300 Series]
Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel

The card is an HD5450 and my cpu has intel graphics card integrated (but not used ... the two monitor are connected
to the radeon card) and no intel video driver is installed.

I also tried 12.8 and latest stable driver from  Vi0L0's repository.

Effects work very nicely here with legacy driver on Mobility HD3470, after multiple reboots. The only thing I had to fix was related to panels missing the transparency effect: post #1 from this bug report

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312970

explains how to do it. Apart from this, not a single issue/problem with 4.10 and catalyst legacy.

Looks like that report is not a a duplicate of mine anymore.
Here is my original report : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314194
Maybe it's related to HD 2400 only.

Is it you that manage the hd234k too, Vi0L0? If so, I'd like to let you know that it doesn't work with Linux 3.7.6. Recompile it, please, or whatever it is that you're doing in your ninja basement tongue

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Last time trying Catalyst 13.1 legacy, catalyst-hook and kernel 3.7.6 there weren't any issues. Probably something is wrong on your side. Please be more specific about your problem.
