hi!

for me the kernel26-drm-next package + mesa-full are working perfectly for getting kms on my ati 4850.
but kms always turns on after my other moduls get loaded. how do i get kms working as fast as possible in the boot process?

What does that mean? I still have yet to install that kmskernel thing, running like I was last time, I've run a few updates, but none of them have had anything to do with OpenGL, so what's up with this?
xakh you need to rebuild and install the drm modules, which sadly the soucre is no longer available for, I might be able to tar up the last git pull I grabbed and upload it if no one can find a way to build the module for the new kernel against 2.6.31.
Don't bother! The source is up again.

Woot! Does that mean they will keep developing a branch not in the mainline kernel or is this just a dev branch that will get merged each kernel update until it is complete, or both?

Hi, i have a question.
Does any one of You have a problem like mine and does any one have a clue how to resolve this?? Swtiching tabs(ikonqueror, arora, opera and so on) is very slow. It takes about 2 sek. for me to swich tab. Problem exists only with oss drivers.

I installed all packages mentioned in OP's post. Whats wrong?

flamelab · 2009-10-09 21:56:44

You need kernel26-git (linux kernel 2.6.32)

remaros · 2009-10-09 23:30:47

I had similar problem. Check if You have errors in xorg log complainign about old libdri. If yes then you have to reinstall xorg-server.

There is more than one way to get the new drm-modules.
1) drm-radeon-module-git-r6xx-r7xx-3d (no support for KMS).
2) kernel26-git
3) kernel26-drm-next + radeon-firmware

registeringsucks · 2009-10-10 09:51:58

I reinstalled "xorg", rebooted and found myself with a nice composited KDE4-Desktop. I'm not sure however, what's caused the problems in the first place. Anyway,thx for your help guys:)

descendent87 · 2009-10-14 15:26:50

With mesa, libdrm, xorg and xf86-video-ati all updated in the repo's now is it just the kernel modules that we need before 3D will be working? Or are the versions in the repo's still not new enough for 3D
So basically if I install just kernel26-git from AUR will I have working 3D/KMS?

descendent87 · 2009-10-14 21:40:44

Just had another update to xf86-video-ati and after restarting compositing in kwin works but only if i select xrender instead of opengl and it's painfully slow

Perry3D · 2009-10-15 08:44:05

I propose to use the git packages of libdrm, mesa, libgl and ati-dri. The versions on the repo's will work for KMS with cards <= r500 and maybe not for newer cards.
At the moment i am using xorg from the repos, kernel26-drm-next, radeon-firmware, libdrm-git, mesa-git, libgl-git and ati-dri-git and it is working fine for my HD4850.

dan.boff · 2009-10-15 11:44:01

is kernel26-drm-next still working for you?
i usually update all git packages everyday, and since kernel 2.6.31 made it to core the kernel patches of kernel26-drm-next don't apply properly. do you know how to fix this?

Perry3D · 2009-10-15 13:08:30

Oh, i forgot: i downloaded the PKGBUILD from AUR and modified it to work with the current kernel.

Currently i am at work. But i think you just have to modify the kernel-variable and remove one patch. I can post the updated PKGBUILD this evening.

dan.boff · 2009-10-15 19:37:15

thanks, i looked into it myself and saw that the patches made in config aren't even necassary anymore. now kms is enabled my default in .config

Did you update your drm-modules? There are 3 packages to do this:

1) drm-radeon-module-git-r6xx-r7xx-3d (no support for KMS).
2) kernel26-git
3) kernel26-drm-next + radeon-firmware

yimm · 2009-10-16 18:30:46

I have installed kernel26-drm-next and radeon-firmware
It's a fresh install of archlinux.

@perry3d does agd5f's repo have all the got packages regularly updated?

Whats the output of modprobe -l drm and modprobe -l radeon?
Did you restart after installing the drm-modules? Try to recompile the libdrm and mesa stuff.

You need to update the package yourself. Just recompile it with makepkg (or yaourt). Git will download the newest version for you.

modprobe -l drm

modprobe -l radeon
kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon.ko

Ok, i try to recompile
Edit : same problem ...

does anyone have issues with libgl-dri not being installed using yauort?

You can take a look at my comment of the package radeon-firmware, I add a hook for mkinitcpio to do this, because no exists hook can do this well.

I think I have met the same problem as you. I just think the module places of kernel26-drm-next is not quite good, I change the drm.next directory to the root of the modules. Seems if module of the same name installed, which is used is choosed by the path?...

If you have the makepkg directory, you can just move pkg/lib/modules/2.6.31-ARCH/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm.next to
pkg/lib/modules/2.6.31-ARCH/updates/drm.next and use makepkg -Rf to repackage.

If not solved, you can try libdrm-git.
