I just updated wiki on pxp support, it was terribly wrong about -pxp packages, sorry for late update.

That is true! I saw it was really outdated since I managed to play with Arch Linux

@Niccola:
I was never able to confirm anything about pxp on my own, so can you confirm that catalyst 15.9 works fine on newest xorg-server and xf86-video-intel from [extra] repos?
I'm also thinking about adding a couple of your notes to the wiki, if you don't mind wink

Of course I don't mind! Actually I was the fglrx supporter under Ubuntu distro. I started this contribution adventure on fglrx domain since I bought my laptop early 2012. It includes a long time membership on Ubuntu X teams @ launchpad.net which I've contributed by providing latest fglrx 100% error free (installation/usage side) drivers focused on pxp users.
Furthermore, I also contributed user-side by managing to help them on this official forum thread.

So I am totally in to contribute with Arch Linux (which I switched to not a long ago) focused on fglrx pxp driver and other domains that I am able to do.

If you want. I can write an informative step-by-step on how to get fglrx pxp working

It's fine, intentional. You probably need opencl-headers, thought. Run `clinfo` to check basic cl informations. If you see "Device Type: CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU" it means you have gpu acceleration.

I did it! Since later yesterday I was able to continue developing OpenCL and I had no problem related with fglrx drivers

Hmm... I would modify pxp_catalyst_switch script a bit so it could recognize separated xorg.confs for intel and radeon. Additional switch_to_radeon funtion and switch option inside of this script also sounds like a good plan. Not sure if blacklisting intel/radeon is a must have here.

That would be great, @Vi0L0!
I succeed to write some code on Debian that could switch between those drivers, but I am not sure if I can reproduce same results on Arch (I will test later).
So if you want any support to do so, I would love to contribute to do so!

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Every kind of help or contribution is always welcome.
I love your enthusiasm! smile

As for the pxp - one thing suprised me - that you have to blacklist intel module to get it working. Till now, basic on users words, I was thinking that fglrx is somehow using intel module and speaking with it. But if its working for you then I guess it's good.
Also this error:

(EE) AIGLX error: failed to open /usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_dri.so, error[/usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 

was never braking anything on my side, system was able to find this lib either way.
That's why I was always avoiding such a linking:

ln -s /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so /usr/X11R6/lib64/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so

Obviously path to this lib is hardcoded inside catalyst binaries. Like said I it was never problem for me, and my desktop systems. It could be a must have on pxp systems, on the other side no pxp user claimed it as a must have (or I simply missed it).
If it's a must have on pxp then I would probably rather like to create a bindiff patch (if it's possible, but should be) than to create /usr/X11R6 directory. Both ways are somehow hackish, though. I'm wondering if there's a way to avoid it. Best if AMD could fix it on their side, but basing on my latest 4.2 kernel experience I can say that the communication with AMD isn't good and isn't easy.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Hello all

I've attempted three times to install the Catalyst drivers for my 2x Radeon R9 280x. Each time I did a fresh install. Running lspci | grep -e VGA shows both cards. But at boot I can see an error about "No UMS support" for each one. Been stuck for 48 hrs reading the wiki. Learned a lot, tried a lot, but still not at all sure where to go from here.

I've had no trouble in the past installing Catalyst drivers in *ubuntu via CLI. Any advice?

Thanks,
Jamal

Edit: Forgot to mention "nomodeset" is being used with kernel 4.1 lts. I've tried using both [catalyst] & [catalyst-stable] repos

Actually, I had to blacklist intel because I was nomodesetting in linux boot cmd line, When I remove nomodeset I realized that is no more necessary to blacklist intel modules. Now, I am working on fglrx+intel without blacklist anything.

I do remember editing /etc/X11/Xsession.d/10fglrx (in Ubuntu) because it was obviously hardcoded fglrx lib directory and it was wrongly directed

However, I am still unable to find 10fglrx file @ arch linux (actually I didn't made a decent search at all).
What really grind my gears is that Arch linux LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH env variable is correctly setted, by fglrx, as
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/:/usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri

But I couldn't find, yet, where fglrx sets it.

Neither why Arch tries to fetch libs @ /usr/X11R6/lib64/modules/dri/

Indeed! However, I am already tried to contact AMD asking for support since 2012, and I give up. I try to understand their changes and apply to the system I am directing on.
Now, I do prefer to hack the drivers rather than bother myself into a answerless support contact

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Linux kernel 4.2 support
We've got workaround for linux kernel 4.2 support. It was found by Billy Way on launchpad and announced here: http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1189

fglrx module needs to be build on gcc 4.9.x (or < 5) to work on linux 4.2

For now on AUR side only catalyst-test is implementing workaround: https://aur4.archlinux.org/packages/catalyst-test/
You have to also install gcc49@AUR : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gcc49/
or use a package compiled by me for x86_64 : http://mirror.rts-informatique.fr/archl … pkg.tar.xz


Edit: I have updated [catalyst] repo as it's my testing ground, leaving [catalyst-stable] untouched for now, for some time.
[catalyst] repo packages should now be compatible with linux 4.2, but you need to install gcc49 package. It's available on both repos.
Also there's new/old package called "catalyst" with fglrx module inside compiled for recent linux package - should be usefull for those who don't want to or can not install gcc49 package.

I'm unable to check i686 drivers, can i686 user confirm if it's working?

Edit2: This could be dejavu or my brain or something but it looks like there's no chrome corruption on my side when compositing (kwin) is enabled - been using chrome for hours and nothing happened, ofcourse using vaapi accel and output of video clip will force corruption to show up anyway, but well, it looks like I can enable kwin one more time tongue YIPPIE-KI-YAY (sublime 3 still lags then though)


@Jamal:
can you give us more details, like what's happening. "No UMS support" is normall, never had problems with it. Blacklisting radeon module should fix it, but I don't think its the original problem. Xorg.0.log or journalctl -xn / journalctl -b would give us some details. Plus your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

@Niccola:
please give me some time to answer you wink
missing free time really badly

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

I tried it yesterday and it didn't work. GDM just wouldn't start, everything stopped at boot screen and the system was bricked (I disabled gdm from chroot on livecd). I didn't have time, so I uninstalled the driver, maybe I will try again in a week or so. I got a question, how do I check what exactly went wrong?

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

It's always good to have at least two kernels intalled in different versions - this way you may easily switch to one that works.
Could be that your system is not that bricked but it's unable to show you anything - you won't be able to switch to tty untill you will install and configure uvesafb, GDM won't work without patched cogl (the problem with my patched cogl is that it wont work with anything other than catalyst, Philip Müller from Manjaro prepared fixed version, after testing I will add it to repo, just not today as I dont have time sad). Without this you will only see a blank screen.
But if you did all this and still only see a blank screen or freezed screen, then its possible that the workaround didn't work for you (althought I'm pretty sure that it will always work on x86_64 systems). So when you system is "bricked" try to log into via ssh (don't forget to enable it before) and check what journalctl -b and dmesg is showing. Feel free to share it here. If your system is not responding to ssh you should also be able to get archive log from journalctl after switching to working kernel/driver


Edit: cogl was updated on [catalyst] repo, for testing purposes. It works fine on my system on both catalyst and xf86-video-ati. Philip said that Manjaro users tested it also on intel and nvidia. Source is here: https://github.com/manjaro/packages-ext … aster/cogl

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

My system is not bricked anymore, I restored it by chrooting into it from another system.  I will try this cogl next time, but I don't know really when the next time will be as I have so little time and don't know if it's worth it. Intel hd graphics work very good, except I have rendering problems in chromium - canvas is not always updated after css is updated. I'm developing a dynamic web application and it ruins development for me, but it works ok in firefox, so I will stick with firefox for now. It's also annoying when I'm typing, the text cursor is pulsating with very low frequency and the text is delayed when I type, lagging. I wonder whether using catalyst would fix this problem. I tried the open source driver, but it was the same.
Is there a display manager that works out of the box with catalyst?

Edit: It's advised to disable kms, but I'd like to use powerxpress feature. What's current status on it?

lxdm and sddm in example
but be aware that GNOME still needs patched cogl to work (just like gdm)

PRIME doesn't work on the laptop. I tried running sensors and it detects the CPU and GPU, but the temp for GPU shows as N/A. I'm on a laptop.

Thanks

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

First, you've chosen a bit wrong thread to ask about this, since this one is focused on proprietary Catalyst driver.

Second, N/A does not mean that something is wrong, on the contrary. If Radeon card is not being currently used, Radeon DPM will shut it down completely, and sensors will just show N/A.

What's the output of:

xrandr --listproviders

DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo|grep 'OpenGL renderer'

Btw, those errors about late init and such, appeared in kernel 4.2.5, and have already been fixed upstream, next kernel release should fix them.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Sorry, I didn't know this thread was for proprietary only.

xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 2
Provider 0: id: 0x7e cap: 0xb, Source Output, Sink Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 4 outputs: 5 associated providers: 0 name:Intel
Provider 1: id: 0x55 cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 6 outputs: 0 associated providers: 0 name:radeon
[stonedwhale@xerces ~]$ DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo | grep 'OpenGL renderer'
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Haswell Mobile 

When I do

xrandr --setprovideroffloadsink 0x55 0x7e

, it worked and

DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo|grep 'OpenGL renderer'

shows the AMD card but when I run a game, "Dust: An ET", it's not using the GPU.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Have to start the game with:

DRI_PRIME=1 game_executable

Some, if not most, proprietary games have a script for starting the game, and that script usually resets environmental variables, including DRI_PRIME=1 setting. That means you have to tweak the script, if possible. It won't always work, though.

If you wish to test PRIME, test it on some open source game, like Xonotic. If it works for opensource games, issue is not with Radeon or PRIME, but with the game you're trying to run.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Do you know why

sensors

doesn't pick up the gpu?

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0:  +46.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 0:         +46.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1:         +42.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

radeon-pci-0300
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:            N/A  (crit = +120.0°C, hyst = +90.0°C)

I tried running the command

DRI_PRIME=1 steam steam://rungameid/236090

but it still won't work.

In your steam library, right click on your game, select "properties" then click on the button "set launch options" and enter:

DRI_PRIME=1 %command%

That way it should work. I use

SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0 %command%

with some of my steam games because I have a multi monitor setup and don't want the games to minimize when they lose focus.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

It seems like it's turning off automatically.

If I run

sensors

right after I run

xrandr --setprovideroffloadsink 0x55 0x7e

, it'll show this

[stonedwhale@xerces ~]$ sensors
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0:  +47.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

Core 1:         +46.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

radeon-pci-0300
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:        +46.0°C  (crit = +120.0°C, hyst = +90.0°C)

but 20 seconds later, it'll show this

Physical id 0:  +47.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

Not a fan of quoting myself.

Open two terminals. In one run DRI_PRIME=1 glxgears. In the other run sensors repeatedly. Then turn off glxgears, and see how radeon temperature in sensors becomes N/A.

Application uses Radeon card via PRIME > sensors read radeon temperature. No application uses Radeon card > radeon driver automatically powers off the card since it's not needed (power saving), therefore, there is no temperature to read.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Hey, I have a new Radeon R9 380 here and want to use the new amdgpu kernel driver. I have Linux 4.2 and the latest mesa and llvm updates. Before, the PC had a Radeon HD 7770 with radeonsi. So, no config is changed, there is not even an xorg.conf, but my systems fails to boot on launching SDDM/X.org. Xorg.0.log:

To be honest, it's Manjaro, not vanilla Arch, so there *could* be differences in kernel modules. Just tried booting from the Manjaro September release with Plasma 5, same result, but booting with proprietary drivers (Catalyst, of course) was successful.
Is there a trick to enable amdgpu?


EDIT:
Solved! There was a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-mhwd.conf with a "radeon" section.

Linux kernel 4.2 support
We've got workaround for linux kernel 4.2 support. It was found by Billy Way on launchpad and announced here: http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1189

fglrx module needs to be build on gcc 4.9.x (or < 5) to work on linux 4.2

Although building gcc 4.9 failed for me on my first build (after almost 4h build time lol), that's finally great news.

Vi0L0, you're awesome! Great find! Well done. Thanks a lot for all your work.

Re: The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill

Hey all,

I decided yesterday to upgrade to the Catalyst driver (from a fully working radeon driver) so that I could hopefully bump up the supported OpenGL version above 3.0. I've been having some issues though.

Current symptoms are a black screen, with a backlight. There seem to be no xorg errors when I switch to a tty console, and fglrx seems to be working at least somewhat, it just backs up the framebuffer data when I switch.

I've installed all of the catalyst packages (catalyst-hook, catalyst-utils, catalyst-libgl, opencl-catalyst, lib32-catalyst-utils, lib32-catalyst-libgl, lib32-opencl-catalyst) and the cogl package. I am using the catalyst-stable repository, and have downgraded xorg to 1.16, also from Vi0L0's repository.

I am running Cinnamon with the linux-lts kernel. Cinnamon seems to be using the Gnome DM behind the scenes.

Here's a link to the results of `journalctl -b': http://pastebin.com/cnF1tcCJ

If you need the results of any other commands, feel free to ask. I can scp files from my arch box if I need to.

A few other notes: I've correctly disabled KMS and blacklisted radeon (though I'm getting those pesky radeon UMS errors now, annoyingly). I've also removed xf86-video-ati while troubleshooting, though that didn't change anything that I could tell. I've also had to symlink the fglrx_dri.so file.

Thanks! ~TheProgramm3r

EDIT: I was getting some errors about wayland at some point, I disabled it in the gnome settings. The errors seem to have gone away, but Catalyst still is not working.

I didn't find it, only make workaround less "hackish". But yeah, good to see it fixed after soo long time cool

There's initial 4.3 kernel support already - on catalyst-test@AUR. I don't have time to update repo with this atm, at first I want to bring 4.2 support for legacy hd234k driver, but even for this I don't have time atm. I believe I will be able to perform all updates on weekend.


@TheProgramm3r:
gdm doesn't work as it should, please consider switching to other dm. Probably unimportant but log is saying that you are missing sane package.
Do you have other graphics cards than radeon? If so you should check newer cogl package available on [catalyst] repo (or build it from these sources: https://github.com/manjaro/packages-ext … aster/cogl - this version is even newer but should give same results).
Let us know about results.

Alright, I'll give that a try momentarily. Do you have a suggestion? I think I saw you mention LXDM or SDDM earlier.

I do not have any other GPU, just the Radeon HD 8550G built into my A8-5550M APU.
