The "radeon" driver plays Blu-Ray video disk fine on a slightly older and slower videocard.

He is using a virtual machine, which tanks the performance.

Then tell exactly where did you get the distribution, how did you install it, and how do you run it.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

I will do a clean install of arch linux before continuing, honestly it is useless to waste anymore time since I am going to install arch in any case. I will ask again when a clean arch install will be on my system

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

280x is rebranded Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition, gcn 1.0, and AFAIK it's not supported by amdgpu. Heard rumor that it will be added to 4.9 kernel, but then I _believe_ AMD would have to realase new amdgpu-pro libs to cover support on this (blob) side.

Anyhow I tested amdgpu-pro also on amd-staging-4.7 kernel and it behaves much better than in normal 4.7 or 4.8rc because freezes are not freezing pc completelly, music started before freeze keeps plying in the background, I can ssh to my pc. But every command related to restart X or reboot causes complete freeze. It's crappy yes, but it leaves a space for future debugging. I don't have time for it right now becasue I'm packing for short vacations but after come back I will contact amd with this bugreport.

In the meantime I checked clean amdgpu driver (also from amd-staging-4.7) and it's great, fast and stable. Sure it doesn't have opencl and vulkan (with radv) is lagging behind amdgpu-pro but games are running great - Bioshock Infinite was almost as fast as on amdgpu-pro, and definitelly faster than on catalyst, cs:go works much better than on both blobs smile.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Vi0L0, can I take from your last comments that it is safe for me to ditch my 'stable' Arch + R9 290 + Catalyst set up and venture forward with Arch + AMDGPU and get the same if not better performance and be able to use the latest kernel + Xorg?

Thanks again,

Diesel1.

*EDIT*

Okay I took the leap and all seems well with the amdgpu driver but there is some tearing as I am trying to find the best way to enable hardware acceleration with vdpau or va-api.

I remember this needing some settings last time I changed the driver. I will read back and check.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Has anyone noticed any regression when moving from 4.5 / 4.6 to 4.7 kernel?

When I upgrade my compositor (compiz) locks fps to30 (vsync). The loss of performance is noticeable for me in game also (league of legends, cs:go...)

On a gcn 1.0 card (firepro m4000 - 7700m) with radeonsi/ mesa to latest non testing version.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Does Catalyst/FGLRX load it's own Firmware? If so, how can I try it? I'm trying to resolve this bug which is probably in the firmware: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Source … ssues/1943


If it ain't broke, you haven't tweaked it enough...

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Hi all,

I am struggling to find the correct combination of back end drivers for hardware acceleration to use with the AMDGPU.

Do I use the AMD opensource or proprietary advice from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ha … celeration in the wiki?

Diesel1.

*EDIT*

I have removed all the VDPAU VA-API 'stuff' and it has caused some issues with ffmpeg now!

Everything I can find about this relates to Radeon or Fglrx drivers. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

@Vi0L0 would it have any negative effects to add the control file of catalyst 15.9 to the 15.12 build, which receives a bit of further maintenance?

My system is trinity based (4555m/7600g), which means NI, and is not working with stock 15.12 (nor amdgpu) but with the control file from 15.9 (and i assume this applies to all other gpus ≥ hd5k which were dropped in 15.12).

I stayed that bridgman confirmed 15.12 linux driver was still supporting pre-gcn?

EDIT: also, while I am here.. Is it even normal manjaro on 4.7 works with catalyst (15.9 though) even without no specific patch?

For sure it's loading some kind of firmware, but I never heard about attempts of extracting it.

I only installed vdpau libs and smplayer(mpv) seems to work fine on amdgpu/amdgpu-pro when picking vdpau hw accell and video output, but i never looked at it closer (like at cpu usage).
I had to enable kde kwin's v-sync to avoid tearing, tho.

Must be some kind of black magic smile. Can see that 4.6 support is covered by a sed's cut, but nothing for 4.7.
cpu_has_pge used by fglrx was removed from 4.7, and it has to be covered in some way otherwise build will fail, maybe manjaro did it in other way (?).

Are you meaning mesa-vdpau or  libvdpau-va-gl?

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Mesa:

pacman -Qs vdpau
local/lib32-libvdpau 1.1.1-2
    Nvidia VDPAU library
local/lib32-mesa-git 84796.a1e49be-1 (mesagit)
    an open-source implementation of the OpenGL specification (32-bit) (git version)
local/libva-vdpau-driver 0.7.4-2

local/mesa-git 84796.a1e49be-1 (mesagit)
    an open-source implementation of the OpenGL specification (git version)
local/vdpauinfo 1.0-2
    Command line utility for querying the capabilities of a VDPAU device.

(mesa-git package provides mesa-vdpau - I'm using packages from lordheavy's [mesa-git] repo)

Interesting part is that amdgpu is by default using radeonsi to bring vdpau support, /var/log/Xorg.0.log says:

[     7.246] (II) AMDGPU(0): [DRI2] Setup complete
[     7.246] (II) AMDGPU(0): [DRI2]   DRI driver: radeonsi

[     7.246] (==) AMDGPU(0): DRI3 enabled

also on both drivers/modules - amdgpu and radeonsi (booted pc twice to be sure) - vdpauinfo output looks exactly the same:

On the other hand when watching hevc coded movie it ate ~10% of cpu (movie was x265 1080p 5.3Gb, Duration: 3 h 47 min, mediainfo didn't show bitrate info) - so as vdpauinfo said - no hwaccel for hevc

On another note, I also think that the windows crimson release doesn’t support my gpu either, so…

EDIT: on windows 15.9 (15.201.1151) doesn’t auto update but there is 16.2.1 Beta (15.301.1901) which seems to be windows only (its installer doesn’t work for me but the driver does)

Thank you for the excellent information Vi0L0. I will get on it pronto!

*EDIT*

Given that I am using an R9 290 card, am I correct in using the AMDGPU driver on its own?

I added lordheavy's repo and installed/updated all the mesa/vdpau stuff from your post but vdpauinfo returns this...

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Hello I am an rx480 owner (will be shipped in a couple of days). I'd like to ask: what is the most 'painless' way to make this card work on Arch? In the past there was opensourse and binary driver. Now it's more complicated with this new hybrid driver. My priorities are good desktop experience on KDE, with Firefox, OpenCL support (Ideally 2.0, but I can live with 1.2). Also hw video acceleration would be nice. I don't care about gaming performance. Thanks.

There was 15.11, but it was not interesting iirc. If you want to check it there's old src file here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ … 3dkdVEySk0
You would have to add patches ie from catalyst-test@AUR if you want to use it with newer kernel.

mesa-git xf86-video-amdgpu-git 225.0f8df85-1 [installed]

Does opengl works fine for you? glxinfo looks fine?
Hope you didn't forget to add CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_CIK=y into your kernel config before building it?
+ i'm always blacklisting radeon when using amdgpu, just in case tongue

# cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | grep rad
blacklist radeon

As said before I'm using kernel from here https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/lin … taging-4.7  (you can use it simply by taking ie. linux-git@AUR and changing source to git://people.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/linux#branch=amd-staging-4.7)
Yesterday I recompiled this kernel again and saw that CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_SI is available smile, in experimental stage just like CIK, but this means that now whole GCN family should be supported by amdgpu smile
Edit: just noted that changes in this fresh recompiled kernel did brake my multihead config (monitor via dvi + tv via hdmi), it boots fine with single monitor though - keep it in mind
Also other less or more interesting feature like CONFIG_DRM_AMD_DAL is available.
Oh, vulkan-radeon-git package listed above brings vulkan support also for amdgpu, can't test it on dota2 as it always throwing UI error, but vulkaninfo shoiws that some features are supported (by RADV driver)
Edit: darn, looks like fresh mesa-git/lib32-mesa-git in version 84866/84869 brings some performance dropdown and glitches ie in csgo, downgrade to 84796 solved problems.

OpenCL support (Ideally 2.0, but I can live with 1.2).

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/amdgpu-pro is your way. You can check it it on default arch kernel as it's build with CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU.
It makes my desktop freeze so I can't use it, but maybe it's because CIK support is still expereimental. If it does freeze on your side buld this pack with amdgpu-pro-dkms and install it. Didn't test it personally but I will try within weekend, especially that latelly guys did add patches for newer kernels
edit: ah, Corngood said on amdgpu-pro comments:
Firmwares and DKMS driver are now installed by default. I suggest installing them both or neither.
Using the DKMS driver fixes the fence errors in Vulkan (e.g. in Vulkan smoketest).

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Okay ViOLO,

I have got the kernel packages made but  mkinitcpio gives this...

By the way, if you feel I need too much help and cannot spare the time/effort to guide me then just say so and I will return to 1.17 and fglrx.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Like said I was never looking at amdgpu-pro dkms, but theres a chance that I will try to run it within weekend.

Is it failing also on standard ARCH kernel, or lets say linux-lts kernel (ubuntu 16.4 was released with 4.4 kernel so it should fit well)?

I'm always happy to help, feel free to ask smile especially when problem doesn't look trivial. Sometimes i'm catching bigger lags but, you know, it's caused by other activites and lack of free time.
BTW why you decided to switch to pro? opencl support has won?

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Cheers ViOLO,

No I didn't decide to switch to pro, I think I might be a little mixed up with just what I am doing!

It is failing when I run sudo pacman -U on the (modified) linux-git pakages. 

It is many years since I compiled a kernel and have very little recent experience but I am willing to learn and try.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

You don't need any part of amdgpu-pro driver when using amdgpu. You only need:
- kernel with CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_CIK enabled - I assume that your kernel is fine, but later after getting back from work I'll post a build of amd-staging-4.7 x86_64 kernel that I did some time ago which works most stable and best for me [1],
- mesa (for x86_64 also lib32-mesa) and it's dependencies (mainly libdrm, llvm) - I'm using those provided by [mesa-git], newest from yesterday are working fine again, without glitches
- xf86-video-amdgpu video driver -  xf86-video-amdgpu-git when using [mesa-git]
- optionally vdpau, vulkan, opencl libraries

After installing packages you only have to prepare bootloader entries for your kernel that won't contain and kind of nomodeset options.
It's good to create xorg.conf or at least /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf with:

Section "Device"
    Identifier "AMD"
    Driver "amdgpu"
EndSection

+ like said in previous post I'm blacklisting radeon

and that's all, reboot, and should work just fine.


[1] Here are kernel packages: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-S6e … 2plVE9GRzQ   compiled on 28.08.2016, with DAL, without CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_SI as it was not available then.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Fabulous ViOLO,

I definitely had a mismatch of different packages. It looks straightforward now.
