Thanks for the help. I checked, KMS is disabled and the fglrx module is loaded. But when I run "fglrxinfo" I get "Error: unable to open display (null)".

What is in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf?

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

What a sad thing. I just found that clinfo isn't able to see my 290x, every opencl sample isn't able to use it... what a ... Soon I will wrote bug report.
Edit: btw there's no problem with hd 7850 in opencl case
Edit2: report is here: http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1044

Meanwhile i'm updating [catalyst] repo. Edit2: updated, archive repo is called [catalyst-14.2]

I've added expoerimental powerXpress support to catalyt-test@AUR. Feel free to test wink. As said in comments:
Idea is descibed here [1]. I decided to add check_switch into .install file. Before extracting files it's checking if your pxp is set to intel, and if so it's switching to intel after extraction. check_switch implementation is n00bish (because Im creating file to store data) and I don't like it, maybe someone knows some hack-trick which will allow to transfer data from pre_upgrade to post_upgrade?

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Why does the catalyst-utils package in the catalyst-hd234k repository say "Radeons HD 2 3 4 xxx ARE NOT SUPPORTED"?

  catalyst-hd234k/catalyst-utils 13.1-7
      AMD/ATI Catalyst legacy drivers. Utilities and libraries. Radeons HD 2 3 4 xxx ARE NOT SUPPORTED

I using a Radeon HD 4200 series card and I have tried every package/build I could find but continue to get a black screen that doesnt allow me to switch TTYs when starting Xorg. I can power off nicely by hitting the power button, ACPI shutdown, but CTRL-ALT-DELETE or switching to another TTY doesn't work.

I'm downloading the 12.6 hd234k total source now to see if that works. I've used 13.1 in Ubuntu without any issues but can' get this to work in Arch. Ive tried linux, linux-lts and linux-lts34 kernels with a known "good" xorg.conf, freshly initiated xorg.conf(s) after removing amdpcsdb each time. The acpi-services=off doesn't help and even the desperate option of removing nomodeset from the kernel line. Even tried just running the amd installer myself but with the same result.

Any ideas? Thanks and sorry for any typos... the past couple nights have been long. :)

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

I will fix this "simple typo" wink with next update.
Since you have Mobility Radeon, do you also have some intel gpu? If so then maybe it would be good to check catalyst-utils-pxp package.
Please paste full xorg log, maybe theres something interesting out there.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

I'm trying to switch back to Catalyst after a short stint with RadeonSI and I'm running into some weirdness on xinit. Short story: xorg hangs on startup. When I check the log, I see no EE lines, but pretty consistently it ends with the following lines:

FBADPhys: 0xf400000000 FBMappedSize: 0x01040000

Should I try downgrading to 14.2? I've tried both xorg 1.14 a d 1.15. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I had previously the intel driver installed but laptop was always running too hot under arch, as root cause seems to be the graphics card I decided to use catalyst.

Just what card models do you have? The outputs of lspci | grep VGA and lspci | grep 3D will help if you don't know the exact models.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Every time I restart my system my tear free setting gets reset to disabled.  Any idea why this might be?  Didn't always do it.

EDIT:  This seems to have started after I switched to radeon, then back to catalyst.  It may have also started after updating to 14.3-1.

I think you'd be looking to use the Catalyst with PowerXpress instead of straight Catalyst

The link I quoted at you states

ArchWiki wrote:

PowerXpress technology allows switching notebooks with dual-graphic capability from integrated graphics (IGP) to discrete graphics either to increase battery life or to achieve better 3D rendering capabilities.

That is, it's designed to work with the Intel/Radeon setup in your laptop.

The link I quoted at you states

PowerXpress technology allows switching notebooks with dual-graphic capability from integrated graphics (IGP) to discrete graphics either to increase battery life or to achieve better 3D rendering capabilities.

That is, it's designed to work with the Intel/Radeon setup in your laptop.

Wish I could get that working on Apple hardware

ati card only accessible with BIOS boot and intel accessible only with EFI boot.  Some people have had success with some hackery, but I've never had luck any time I've tried.

What settings are you looking at?  Catalyst control center (should be under display settings)? You can also try enabling it through command line as stated in the wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ca … _Rendering). Finally, your DE software may have a tear free option in its own settings you may want to try.  Also, you can try toggling "wait for vertical refresh"

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Oooh, it looks like catalyst-test can build modules for 3.14-mainline as provided in the [miffe] repository by miffe. I'm going to reboot and test it out and let you know how it runs for me.

EDIT: I would test it if it would boot. I'm not getting any useful messages and I can wait for 3.14 to hit [testing].

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Hello everyone,

After two nights of work, I am not still able to make my Intel / 8970M work properly. So any help would be appreciated.

I followed all procedures for PowerXpress systems, including blacklisting radeon module.

This is my lscpi output:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Neptune [Radeon HD 8970M]

These are the currently installed drivers:

catalyst-hook 14.3-1
catalyst-utils-pxp 14.3-1
lib32-catalyst-utils-pxp 14.3-1
intel-dri 10.1.0-4
xf86-video-intel 2.99.911-1
lib32-mesa 10.1.0-4
lib32-mesa-libgl 10.1.0-4
mesa 10.1.0-4
mesa-libgl 10.1.0-4

Here is my generated xorg.conf =

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier     "aticonfig Layout"
	Screen      0  "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
EndSection

Section "Module"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier   "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
	Option	    "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
	Option	    "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
	Option	    "DPMS" "true"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
	Driver      "fglrx"
	BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"
	Device     "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
	Monitor    "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
	DefaultDepth     24
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     24
	EndSubSection
EndSection

And finally here, the output I got in Xorg.0.log file:

Last mainline I checked was 3.14 rc8, had no problems. I will be away from my pc for another 4 days and I'm unable to check 3.14 final, but it should work fine.
Edit: OT about 3.14 kernel, if you have problems with sound on intel/realtek add this line to your alsa/sound conf file from /etc/modprobe.d
options snd-hda-intel model=auto
OR:
options snd-hda-intel model=generic

with xf86-video-intel-2.99.910-1-x86_64 is ok.

you can get xf86-video-intel-2.99.910-1 package from ARM, ie here:

Edit: btw there's no problem with hd 7850 in opencl case
Edit2: report is here: http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1044

Fixed. Turned out that libOpenCL of amdapp-sdk 2.9 was causing the problem. It simply doesn't suport R9 290X. Removing sdk file from profile.d solved the clinfo problem. Removing /etc/OpenCL/vendors/amd.icd (iirc the path correctly) let me run sdk's samples.

Every time I restart my system my tear free setting gets reset to disabled.  Any idea why this might be?  Didn't always do it.

EDIT:  This seems to have started after I switched to radeon, then back to catalyst.  It may have also started after updating to 14.3-1.

Anybody? sad

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Does anyone know why I get an error when I try to get the temperatures and/or clocks of all my cards using aticonfig?  Command and output:

sudo aticonfig --odgt --adapter=all
[sudo] password for USER: 
ERROR - Get temperature failed for Adapter 0 - Supported device 67B0

Adapter 1 - Supported device 67B0
            Sensor 0: Temperature - 42.00 C
ERROR - Get temperature failed for Adapter 2 - Supported device 67B0
