Thanks, now it's good, all works : KMS and 3D.
Now I have to wait for power management. It will be good for my laptop (4850 mobility)

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

You are using the drm modules from 2.6.31. There is something wrong with kernel26-drm-next package. Did you remove both patches? I just remove the config-patch.

I have just removed the config-patch. If I remove both patches, there is a version problem (because of -rc9 includes in fix-version.patch).
Now it works by doing this :

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.

It should be fixed. You can also use the PKGBUILD in the first post to build ati-dri, libgl and mesa at once.

elocal · 2009-10-18 17:09:42

Using:
ati-dri-git: up to date
dri2proto-git: (local=20091018-1 aur=20090508-1)
glproto-git: (local=20091018-1 aur=20091014-1)
kernel26-drm-next: (local=20091018-1 aur=20090922-1)
libdrm-git: (local=20091018-1 aur=20090907-1)
libgl-git: up to date
mesa-git: (local=20091018-1 aur=20090508-1)
radeon-firmware: (local=20091018-1 aur=20090926-1)
xf86-video-ati-git: (local=20091018-1 aur=20090830-1)

KDE 4.3.2 with composite working pretty beautifully. Haven't seen any artefacts so far. WIN!

EDIT: only noticed scrolling to be rather slow in for example Pidgin's buddy list, Dolphin, and other apps...

you could also take mesa-full from aur, does the same

mesa-full does a lot more than ati-dri-git+mesa-git+libgl-git

Would it be as accurate to say that the plan is to have newly introduced kernel drivers (interacting through the KMS API) to replace all existing X drivers? (Starting with Intel/ATi)
That seems to be what I gather from my reading.

Hi, I tried to follow the instuctions in the first post, but there's something wrong.
The drm module can't be loaded, I get following message when try to run "modprobe drm":

WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/framebuffer_blacklist.pacsave, it will be ignored in a future release.
FATAL: Error inserting drm (/lib/modules/2.6.31-ARCH/updates/drm.next/drm.ko): Invalid module format

dmesg:

drm: version magic '2.6.31-ARCH-g1527711 SMP preempt mod_unload ' should be '2.6.31-ARCH SMP preempt mod_unload '

Xorg.0.log:

drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device or address)
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device or address)
drmOpenDevice: Open failed

(EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed to open the DRM
[dri] Disabling DRI.

(WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled
(EE) RADEON(0): Acceleration initialization failed

I think it is caused by kernel26-drm-next, which gived drm.ko a wrong version magic. It didn't clear git suffix(g1527711).
Anyone knows how to fix it?

SOLVED: I compiled it in a git managed directory.

I'm currently trying to build mesa-git, and libgl-git and they stop, with no error message right after the

remote: counting objects: XXXX, done.

step.

Still trying to figure if the issue comes from my desktop... Any way if someone has a clue...

edit : solved, the freedesktop mirror seems to experience issue, and I wonder why, the time out is extremely loooong.

edit 2 :
An hint for those who are trying to get kms activated erly during boot process.
I dont know if it can be ported to Arch (since it use a BSD init style).

hi, need help to have good 3D acceleration and 1280*1024 (not 1024*768)
(because teeworld always run at 0.5fps)
I've got a old screen 17", and have a ATI 4870

I installed drm-radeon-module-git-r6xx-r7xx-3d , libdrm-git, glproto-git (dep), dri2proto-git (dep), libgl-git, mesa-git and ati-dri-git. , and xf86-video-radeonhd-git.

result of glxinfo |grep -i opengl :

Perry3D · 2009-10-26 22:02:08

Hi mum1989,

can you show us the content of /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
And, if you have one, also the xorg.conf.

Mazur · 2009-10-27 11:57:10

Can anybody upload lib32-mesa-git package or mesa-git for i686? I am running x86_64 system but I would like to try some games which are i686 only.

Vi0L0 · 2009-10-28 19:28:58

I've tried to install that os driver, but without success...
I'm using 2.6.31.5-bfs (with disabled kms), so i modified some below listed PKGBUILDs, but it compiled without errors.
Cuz of no time i used yaourt.
Heres what I have done.
1) uncoment testing repo, pacman -Sy, pacman -S xorg <~~ for xorg 7.5
2) yaourt -S kernel26-drm-next radeon-firmware libdrm-git mesa-full xf86-video-ati-git
pacman -Rd freeglut mesa

(i comment in kernel26-drm-next this line
# patch -Np1 -i "${srcdir}/fix-version.patch" || return 1
and comment that lines
# source=('.config')
# cp ${srcdir}/.config .
and add that line:
zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
to radeon-firmware)

I didn't install any other packages
Ive deleted all other depends from PKGBUILDs (like dri2proto, glproto - is it needed? maybe i didn't understand Perry's hawto)
3) modified xorg.conf (basing on aticonfig)

I think it is xorg problem. I had the same issue, compiled with old xorg and everything works fine, installed xorg from test, recompiled and keyboard works on terminal login before startx, after startx no mouse and no keyboard

Vi0L0 · 2009-10-29 01:08:10

Same for default xorg
No, not the same, i dont see kdm login screen, its all dressed in black screen of linux death.
No logs.
I have recompiled almost every package, except radeon-firmware - no time...
Although i dont see sense in recomiling, since im using same kernel and same gcc, i think that compiling dont even touch/use xorg files.
Hmm... Maybe its becouse i didn't compiled KMS into kernel? Maybe its caused by bfs (its almost impossible)?
I dont know...
I think i won't test it on arch default kernel since im in love with bfs .
Maybe ill find some time to recompile kernel with KMS, maybe.
