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

Hey, here is my version.

I'm using nightly-builds from the above repo from today.
KMS's fine.
But why is software rasterizer used?

[max@sioux dri]$ glxinfo | grep -i opengl
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.8-devel
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20

then I used the debug function and it gave me:

[max@sioux ~]$ LIBGL_DEBUG=1 glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/r600_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/r600_dri.so: undefined symbol: radeon_bo_is_referenced_by_cs)
libGL error: unable to load driver: r600_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
[...]

-> undefined symbol: radeon_bo_is_referenced_by_cs

strange? Any ideas?

EDIT: resolved, took the binaries from the other repo on this thread dated 2009.12.06 and it works.

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

Interesting, I'm using the above repo too ( as mentioned allready ) but my renderer is still hardware
[jinzo@graphite jinzo]$ glxinfo | grep -i opengl
do_wait: drmWaitVBlank returned -1, IRQs don't seem to be working correctly.
Try adjusting the vblank_mode configuration parameter.
OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R600 (RV710 9553) 20090101  TCL DRI2
OpenGL version string: 2.0 Mesa 7.8-devel
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.10
OpenGL extensions:

interesting, ping (here or on irc) me if you need any aditional info about my setup.

You disabled "CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC" when you compiled your kernel? Run instead:

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

I asked around.
Apparently mesa assumed the existence of the irq firmware files. Those files don't exist in 2.6.32.
According to a gentoo user in irc this should be fixed now.

I will package the firmware files anyway for those who are building newer drm code. Dave Airlie just informed me that those files will not be included in the kernel tree ever(like wireless firmware). So the package is needed.

Will this fix undefined symbol: radeon_bo_is_referenced_by_cs, too?
People on IRC said, it is due to libdrm, which should be updated then. But I use the latest.
Beside that, others (jinzo) on RV710 don't have this issue with the same config (2.6.32, -gits form today's nightly build).

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

radeon_ucode in AUR:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33016

This is basically needed for any drm code post 2.6.32. I follow drm-radeon-testing branch witch is IIUC 2.6.32+(new drm code for 2.6.33). It works for me and maybe the newer drm code will be needed to work well with everything *-git .

If you're using menuconfig, look under graphics and staging.

I have these RADEON-related config lines. You would definitely need the 1st and the last ones.

CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m

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

Just an FYI:
libdrm API just changed. It's advised to upgrade all the user-space stuff or suspend upgrades for now If everything is working for you.

@kraffslol
I'm not sure. I think you can build the module "make modules SUBDIRS=drivers/gpu/drm". But I'm not sure how can you enable KMS.
Try building the module and append "radeon.modeset=1" in grub. That might work.

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

I compiled radeonhd and got the other packages from the nightly repo, but all I am getting is a black screen when I start Xorg...

Do I need some firmware or some other kernel module?
My kernel is 2.6.32 from testing.

Thanks

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

ADVISE:

kernel26 - 2.6.32.2 just came to testing and broke KMS on my machine.
Fixed it temporary by adding radeon.modeset=0 to the kernelline in grub.

I believe this is the reason:

I believe I'm having the same problem, I started a thread in the testing forum about it (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=87184).  I will try your solution before I downgrade to 2.6.32.1.

edit: I had to downgrade to kernel 2.6.32.1.... Oh well...

Use xf86-video-ati instead. That's the driver being developed with KMS from the AMD/Mesa/Kernel people. Case in point,Dave Airlie just pushed a commit to work with the new libdrm API.

The only thing radeonhd had was HD audio and now It's added to KMS(code for 2.6.33 though). Maybe the OP should exclude radeonhd as a viable driver.

Edit: Forgot to mention that radeonhd uses a weird method to detect monitors. That's why a lot of people face "black screen" when they use it.

After today updates (kernel and drivers from nighly repo + radeon_ucode from AUR) i get blank screen when kernel should enter KMS. Setting radeon.modeset=0 in grub helps, but now all DRI applications crash.

If the kernel version is 2.6.32.2. It's a known bug.

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

Hi,

I just installed kernel 2.6.32. It doesn't work with KMS so radeon.modeset=0 in grub.
I compiled libdrm, mesa and xf8-ati from git. Everything is fine (kwin works, first time for me with OSD)) except that when i launch xbmc, i get : "XBMC needs hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering."

what do you mean?
There are still working on it.

Use xf86-video-ati instead. That's the driver being developed with KMS from the AMD/Mesa/Kernel people. Case in point,Dave Airlie just pushed a commit to work with the new libdrm API.

The only thing radeonhd had was HD audio and now It's added to KMS(code for 2.6.33 though). Maybe the OP should exclude radeonhd as a viable driver.

Edit: Forgot to mention that radeonhd uses a weird method to detect monitors. That's why a lot of people face "black screen" when they use it.

well that's the one thing that I need, HDMI audio, and that's why I am using catalyst today sad
Some people on the ml just released some patches to get HDMI audio on 4670 that I wanted to try, but with or without them I get a black screen... Do you think I will get audio out of ati?

Also if ati is made by those big people, who are the people working on radeonhd? just "common" people?

Thank you
