[SOLVED] Xorg cannot find amdgpu devices

When I try to require both glx and dual_kawase it still says I need experimental backends.

[ 06/26/2021 00:11:32.958 get_cfg WARN ] Dual-kawase blur is not implemented by the legacy backends, you must use the `experimental-backends` option.
[ 06/26/2021 00:11:33.682 session_init FATAL ERROR ] Failed to initialize the backend

Yes. So?

vtimofei · 2021-06-25 21:16:30

Apparently, it doesn't run without the experimental backends.

seth · 2021-06-25 21:17:07

No. So?

vtimofei · 2021-06-25 21:23:14

So I need the experimental backends. But when I try to use them it tries to use the xrender backend, which is a legacy backend.

$ DRI_PRIME=1 picom --experimental-backends --blur-method=dual_kawase
[ 06/26/2021 00:21:02.645 create_blur_context WARN ] Blur method 'dual_kawase' is not compatible with the 'xrender' backend.

with no other configuration.

vtimofei · 2021-06-25 21:23:48

Not sure if I am doing something wrong or it is a picom bug.

seth · 2021-06-25 21:26:07

Did you uncomment "#backend = "glx";"?
Is that file you posted actually ~/.config/picom.conf?
What if you run "DRI_PRIME=1 picom --experimental-backends --blur-method=dual_kawase --backend glx"?

vtimofei · 2021-06-25 21:29:00

My config currently:

   11 frame-opacity = 1.0;
   10
    9 #corner-radius = 20;
    8
    7 #rounded-corners-exclude = [
    6 # "class_g='dwm'",
    5 # "class_g='dmenu'",
    4 #];
    3
    2 blur-background-exclude = ["class_g='firefox'"];
    1
  12  #blur:
    1 #{
    2 # method = "dual_kawase";
    3 # #kernel = "11x11gaussian";
    4 # size = 2;
    5 # deviation = 5.0;
    6 #};
    7
    8 #backend = "glx";

Does "picom --experimental-backends --blur-method=dual_kawase --backend glx" run on the intel chip?

vtimofei · 2021-06-25 21:31:58

Ok so with my Intel GPU it did run.

vtimofei · 2021-06-25 21:33:04

It actually performs really well.

seth · 2021-06-25 21:40:43

Please don't bump. Edit your posts to add stuff if nobody replied.

Of course the dual kawase blur performs much better that a large scale gaussian blur.
This reddit has some links, https://www.reddit.com/r/gamemaker/comm … sian_blur/

The "GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is not supported by your driver" thing seems a bit weird because the glxinfo in #36 says otherwise…

vtimofei · 2021-06-25 21:42:25

Thanks a lot for all the help, I will be using this configuration to run my picom.
