[HOWTO] DRI with Open-Source ATI drivers

Hi, I've recently got DRI working on my ATI Radeon 9600 pro with the open source drivers so I'll try to explain you my method expecting this will be useful for you... wink

First, be sure you have the driver installed :

# pacman -S xf86-video-ati

And now edit your xorg.conf like this :

Section "Module"
    ...
    Load  "dri"
    Load "glx"
    ...
EndSection

...

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "ATI Radeon 9600 Pro (RV350)"
    Driver      "radeon"
    BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
    VendorName  "ATI Technologies Inc."
EndSection

And at the end of the file add :

Section "DRI"
    Mode 0666
EndSection

That's all for the xorg.conf now...

Then, we have to load the needed modules at startup so in rc.conf add the modules in this order :

MODULES=(sis_agp agpgart radeon drm)

PS: I have a sis AGP chipsets you have to replace 'sis_agp' by your AGP chipset...

Now reboot your computer and lunch 

glxinfo | grep 'direct rendering'

which may ouput :

direct rendering: Yes

If no, read the Xorg log file (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) and look for the lines which start whith (WW) or (EE) to found the problème...

I think all it's good big_smile run glxgears to see DRI in action and now we go to add some options to the "Device Section" in the xorg.conf :

    Identifier  "ATI Radeon 9600 Pro (RV350)"
    Driver      "radeon"
    BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
    VendorName  "ATI Technologies Inc."
    Option      "AGPMode" "8"
    Option      "AGPFastWrite" "true"
    Option      "RenderAccel" "true"

Restart the X server and that's all...

Bonus :  Transparency and Shadow big_smile
Edit the xorg.cong and add this lines after the Module Section :

Section "Extensions"
    Option  "Composite" "Enable"
    Option  "RENDER" "Enable"
    Option  "DAMAGE" "true"
EndSection

And this option to the Device Secton :

Option      "backingstore" "true"

Restart again the X server and now you can see... NOTHING!! :shock:
So install 'xcompmgr' and 'transset' to see something :

# pacman -S xcompmgr transset

Then do 

xcompmgr -c

and now you may see the shadow of the windows... roll

Re: [HOWTO] DRI with Open-Source ATI drivers

Just FWIW, specifically enabling RENDER and DAMAGE is not necessary, those are autoloaded...

BTW, what does "backingstore" do?

Re: [HOWTO] DRI with Open-Source ATI drivers

hmm, I tried this, but it doesn't work very good here.

First of all, I think you need to install libgl-dri which conflicts with fglrx, so you have to remove fglrx, right?

next: I followed all your steps, and when I run glxinfo I get: Direct Rendering: Yes, but the framerate in glxgears is the same as without direct rendering.  Also all opengl apps (screensavers and tuxracer) are way too slow.
Is this normal, or did something go wrong here?

Re: [HOWTO] DRI with Open-Source ATI drivers

I have Radeon 9000, I have direct rendering too and my xorg.conf looks like:

Section "Module"
  Load         "ddc"
  Load         "freetype"
  Load         "type1"
  Load         "bitmap"
  Load         "dbe"
  Load         "glx"
  Load         "extmod"
  Load         "dri"
  Load         "record"  
EndSection
......
Section "Device"
  BoardName    "RV250 If"
  BusID        "1:0:0"
  Driver       "radeon"
  Identifier   "Device[0]"
 Screen       0
  VendorName   "ATI"
EndSection
......
Section "DRI"
    Group      "video"
    Mode       0666
EndSection

Re: [HOWTO] DRI with Open-Source ATI drivers

limiwa: thanks for your reply, but I think it won't help me much.  The problem is the radeon 9600 has to use the r300 drivers, while your radeon 9000 can use the r200 drivers.  And the r200 drivers are much more tested, the r300 drivers are alpha/beta?

Re: [HOWTO] DRI with Open-Source ATI drivers

Hmm... Try putting 

Option   "EnableAGPDMA"

In your "Device" section.

Re: [HOWTO] DRI with Open-Source ATI drivers

care to put this in the wiki? we have a good section on fglrx but no section on properly setting up the open source driver with dri.

Re: [HOWTO] DRI with Open-Source ATI drivers

It probably should be a generic section on open-source drivers, as setting up the ATI drivers doesn't seem much different from setting up the others.

Re: [HOWTO] DRI with Open-Source ATI drivers

I was going to wikify it as soon as I got it working wink
But for the moment I'm back using fglrx drivers, I will try the opensource drivers again in some days...

Re: [HOWTO] DRI with Open-Source ATI drivers

hmm, it didn't help.

btw: I just remembered I had turned agpfastwrites off in my bios (reviews tell it's a bad idea to use fastwrites with a radeon 9600) So I tried to put it back on, and now X completely freezes my pc when it starts, so I've turned it back off
[offtopic]If you screw up x so it locks your pc, and x is started by default (default runlevel is 5), are the any grub parameters or something else to disable x from starting? otherwise I need a gentoo live cd to recover (the arch live cd won't detect my raid)[/offtopic]

Here a part of my xorg.log. As you can see it complains the r300 mesa driver isn't included, is that normal? I can't find how I should install it...
and the agpdmamode option is also ignored as you can see

Re: [HOWTO] DRI with Open-Source ATI drivers

OK now big_smile I had libGL.so I had copied from http://www.ground-impact.com/libGL.so.1.2 to get fglrx opengl to work with the latest ati drivers. Now removed those files and did pacman -S xf86-video-ati libgl-dri.

Re: [HOWTO] DRI with Open-Source ATI drivers

Does anyone see better performance with these Open Source drivers and DRI than the binary fglrx drivers from ati?

I would like to go open source since having the ati binary drivers dont offer any additional bonuses - but only if my performance/opengl speed doesnt decrease.

I have a FireGL T2 (9600P) in my laptop. Using "fglrx" Im getting ~1600 FPS in glxgears. Thats very low considering its a midrange card.

I too am interested in this.

Re: [HOWTO] DRI with Open-Source ATI drivers

ok, so here are my numbers comparing open source vs. fglrx drivers on radeon 9600 :

fglrx
glxgears - normal window - 2610-20 fps
glxgears - maximized window - 210-220 fps

radeon r300 (open source)
glxgears - normal window -  910-920 fps
glxgears - maximized window - 90-100 fps

so it runs bad, but i got a really nice feeling runnig one less closed source progy and performace in normal desktop use is the same, som i'm sticking to them  wink

EDIT: plus the xcomposite is running no problem  smile

ok, so here are my numbers comparing open source vs. fglrx drivers on radeon 9600 :

fglrx
glxgears - normal window - 2610-20 fps
glxgears - maximized window - 210-220 fps

radeon r300 (open source)
glxgears - normal window -  910-920 fps
glxgears - maximized window - 90-100 fps

so it runs bad, but i got a really nice feeling runnig one less closed source progy and performace in normal desktop use is the same, som i'm sticking to them  wink

EDIT: plus the xcomposite is running no problem  smile

I'm have a 9700 card and i get 4000 fps on glxgears..

    Driver    "radeon"

This is the config i have for the radeon driver..

thx, i'll try to tweak it

Re: [HOWTO] DRI with Open-Source ATI drivers

Can't get DRI on my Radeon9700 to work. I compiled all neccessary DRM Modules from CVS and it seems to work fine but still it isn't working right:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "(WW)"

Now is DRI available or not ?!

Re: [HOWTO] DRI with Open-Source ATI drivers

It looks like it's falling back on AIGLX... Do you have a "DRI" section in xorg.conf?

(Interesting. If you don't have LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 in /etc/profile or somewhere, you don't have permission to /dev/dri, and it's falling back on AIGLX without locking up, that would make the freeze-on-attempted-fallback behavior I've seen without LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT a driver-related bug.)

Sorry for the delay,

But sometimes I can touch 2xxx FPS

        Option      "ColorTiling" "true"
        Option      "AccelMethod" "XAA"
EndSection

I will test with Option  "AccelMethod" "XAA"...

PS: I have a Radeon 9600 Pro and for information, this card it's not fully 3D supported by xorg...
