Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

Starting X (openbox) which breaks with the update of:

xf86-video-ati-git-3213.ae92d17-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

cause:

/usr/include/xorg/privates.h:122: dixGetPrivateAddr: Assertion key->initialized failed

Downgrade to

xf86-video-ati-git-3206.5921ba4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz 

"fixes" the problem.

The systemd/xf86-video-ati-git update fixed it.

Lordheavy,

i got below errror when building mesa-r*-git .
Looks like you need to rebuild the [mesagit] packages against latest gcc ?

checking for llvm-config... /usr/bin/llvm-config

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

Newer llvm versions prevent OpenGL from working. Last version that worked was 235384-1.

With later versions I get

Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig

when running glxinfo.

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

BasT,

That suggests the mesa-git packages need to be rebuild against the proper llvm version.

I downloaded the llvm-svn & lib32-llvms-vn PKGBUILD from http://pkgbuild.com/~lcarlier/mesa-git/ … -llvm-svn/  and http://pkgbuild.com/~lcarlier/mesa-git/ … /llvm-svn/
(tried aur llvm-svn and lib32-llvm-svn first, but lib32-llvm-svn  from aur has build problems).

Built both on my own pc, then i could succesfully build my mesa-r*-git packages again.
It should work with the sources for mesa-git also.

It does seem like something is different from stock arch in LH's build environment and causing problems.

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

For like 6-8 months I played Dota2 with my HD7770, open source drivers, everything perfect.

During the last 2-3 months playing has been IMPOSSIBLE. The game seems to go ok, until there's a big team fight or similar, and then it hangs for a few seconds, and reboots completely my computer.

This is the error:

The GPU is fine, because I am now playing using w8

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

joanmanel, that looks more like a steam issue then a video driver issue.

Or did you have problems with non-steam programs also ?

lordheavy builds against testing, and therefor with gcc 5.1 and all it's dependencies and quirks.

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

just a FYI:
looks like mesa-git 70392.87a4bc5-1 completelly messed up my plasma experience @ radeon 290x. sddm renders only grey screen and mouse coursor (able to move). plasma desktop (ran from gdm) is just a couple of colorful glitches at the bottom of the screen + black top, no mouse.
No problems with GDM/Gnome.
Reverting to previous mesa-git version fixed plasma.

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

Gallium-Nine hasn't been working for me since mesa 70763.8787141-1.

Wine reports:

err:module:load_builtin_dll failed to load .so lib for builtin L"winex11.drv": /usr/bin/../lib/wine/winex11.drv.so: undefined symbol: eglDestroyImageKHR

Regular OpenGL works fine.

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

Mesa changed something, I think it was this http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/c … 2560789d93 (haven't checked whether it really is).

wine needs to be updated to not use these functions anymore.

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

radeonsi now expose OpenGL 4.1 for core context:

OpenGL vendor string: X.Org
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD PITCAIRN
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.1 (Core Profile) Mesa 10.7.0-devel (git-1b2b0e4)
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.10
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile

It's now available in mesa-git repo, or you will need at least llvm-3.7 svn with mesa git trunk.

Have fun!

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

I created the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf to enable DRI3:

Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Radeon"
   Driver      "radeon"
   Option      "DRI3" "on"
EndSection

However it seems to fail:

$ grep -i DRI3 /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[     5.097] (WW) RADEON(0): Option "DRI3" is not used

Am I doing something wrong?

The stable xf86-video-ati doesn't support DRI3 yet, do you have xf86-video-ati-git installed ?

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

I'm not so up2date with the open-source driver. Let's assume Mesa 11.0 is in the official arch repo, do I still need something from the mesa-git repo for DRI3, or is it about to get stable? I have a HD 7870 btw.

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

it's in mesa 11.0 afaict, but xf86-video-ati 1:7.5.0-2   doesn't support it.

You either need xf86-video-ati-git from AUR (it doesn't see that many commits, so rebuilding it won't be needed often) or from LordHeavy' unofficial repo.

Keep in mind that LH' mesa-git repo is build against testing and can cause breakage, especially if you don't have testing repos enabled.

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

Okay. One more thing. Is this DRI3 thing restricted to radeonsi or is it possible to use it with r600(g) cards?

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

It should work on R600 cards, but you'll have to set them to use glamor (check wiki) .
By default, r600 cards use EXA for accereleration, and DRI3 only works with glamor (atleast for amd, don't know about intel).
