Yes it does. I've tested it with openarena full screen, went to settings -> system, and it was using the dedicated card; but to me it seems it performs worse than with the IGP. Glxgears gives me around 1000 FPS with the dedicated and between 750-950 with the IGP, the fps with the IGP are fluctuating though.

Couple of things for performance

1. I think the 7000 series (southern islands) and beyond support is not yet upto par with earlier ones ( like 6000).
Also, I think dpm for for SI went only in kernel 3.12 , so you can try mainline kernels - you may get improvement if you default clock is low

2. You can try sb backend ( this is enabled by default in mesa 9.3)
set - R600_DEBUG=sb or R600_DEBUG=sb,nollvm

This should improve performance in 6000 too.

Also for the full screen thing - do you setup the env variables and xrandr stuff before starting xorg ?
Thats one thing i didnt try yet - other wise its a bug for my card

Honestly, it makes no difference if I run the xrandr command on boot or not.
Here's how I tested: ran the xrandr command, exported the variable, ran the game.
That's it. What DE are you using? Could be DE related

Didnt work , seems to be driver bug - gpu is working ( in radeontop ) and i think everything is ok execpt that the screen is black.
Hopefully will get solved in future kernel releases

@lordheavy: Could you add glamor-egl-git to the repo? It brings xv support for all radeonsi cards.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Pushed a glamor-egl-git (with xv support enabled) package, on which xf86-video-ati-git package niow depends.

Thanks for your repo. I use it and the performance is really good. Also props to AMD for their docs and all the people writing those drivers, you make my next graphics card an easier choice.

archie0 · 2013-10-02 15:15:20

Glamor is still not working for me. I've installed the git version of the ati driver, added AccelMethod "glamor" to my Device section, but X freezes when loading the OpenGL extensions. What am I doing wrong?

IncredibleLaser · 2013-10-07 08:45:33

Some more information would be nice. Which card do you use? It works here with "Mobility Radeon HD 4650/5165". My /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf looks like this:

Section "Module"
        Load "dri2"
        Load "glamoregl" 
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Radeon"
    Driver "radeon"
    Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
EndSection

and it works.

Hi all,

I got X randomly crashing at boot. Restarting the computer multiple times finally get me to KDM.
Here is Xorg log when it crashes:

Any idea what is causing that? Could that be hardware issue?

snack · 2013-10-13 15:28:42

@AntAntAnt: it's a known bug related to R600+DPM, I think. Check this: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66963

AntAntAnt · 2013-10-13 15:42:46

Actually I enabled dpm a few days ago but I was already having this issue. I will remove it just in case though.
Also, the effects described in the bug seems different than mine as I am just reaching tty1 when X crashes.
Thanks for the pointer though.

Sorry for the misleading answer. I thought I recognize the same symptoms of my Mobile HD3470 in your post but I was wrong.

KlavKalashj · 2013-10-13 18:59:37

This bug (which I am experiencing) sounds relevant, could this be your problem too? https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69723

AntAntAnt · 2013-10-13 19:07:21

I don't think so as I was experimenting the problem even with dpm not set.
I turned it off anyway, so I am going to see if it gets better during the next boots.

skottish · 2013-10-16 23:18:02

Thanks for the [mesa-git] repo lordheavy. I appreciate it.

Is there any compelling reason to use xf86-video-ati-git for a 6850? Other than the vdpau dl-close bug that's already been reported upstream, everything seems to be working well with the non-git driver.

This looks super interesting to me!

Radeon, VDPAU, HD Audio (including DTS-HD, TrueHD, LPCM 7.1), XBMC plus a 50% decrease in CPU usage over AMD Catalyst Drivers

There is intel-dri-git in the repository, could you also add xf86-video-intel-git?

Since very recently I got "AIGLX error: i965 exports no extensions (/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/i965_dri.so: undefined symbol: __driDriverExtensions)" and no 3d acceleration anymore. Does anyone know what's up with that? Is that related to the new glx implementation and do I need a newer X server?

It's related to the "megadriver" feature, xserver needs a new symbol; you'll need to rebuild xorg-server with this patch here:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserve … 8eceaeb893

It's also possible to have the xf86-video-intel-git package, i will add it in the repo.

Thanks, much appreciated.

I can confirm that with only this patch everything (read: glxinfo) works.
It can surprise people because the mesa version in your repository already has it but the xserver from core doesn't.

quelcom · 2013-10-28 06:22:28

Any tips for getting stable and reliable HD video playback with Evergreen based graphic cards? My HTPC has an E2 APU that uses a Radeon HD 7340 (Palm/Wrestler) and although I have followed the wiki instructions the HD video playback is driving me crazy.

The computer is only used to play videos. When I run XBMC through the xinit command (no window manager) there is about 80% chances that it will get stuck right after trying to play an HD video. When this happens I need to go back to the TTY that had the xinit command and stop it. Then I repeat the process until it works. When it does work, I could play all HD videos I want just fine.. until I close XBMC.

Do you have better experiences with mpv or vlc? I tried them both but the CPU usage was really high so I do not think it was using the GPU for the decoding.

Is this at all related to this?

This also happens when I use DRI_PRIME=1 to offload it to radeonsi. However, I can symlink both the i965 and radeonsi driver modules to the root directory (/) and it works. Was the prefix for the 64bit driver messed up?

No.

/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/i965_dri.so is owned by intel-dri-git 59335.8bd4476-1

Check if you have that file, if not (re)install intel-dri-git

If it is there, check whether you have $LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH set to something that doesn't include /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri.
