How is 3D in the OS drivers coming along? Tried it a while ago but was too many artifacts with Kwin compositing turned on

If you have a read through roughly the last 5 pages of this thread, it should give you an idea. Things are moving fast, but they are not there yet.

Hello,

I have a problem installing catalyst for my ATI radeon hd2400 on my laptop.
I posted my problem on http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=72151
but nowbody knows a solution, but suggested to post here.

My problem is:
I want to use the catalyst driver.
When trying to install catalyst-utils (needed by catalyst) from aur, or http://dev.archlinux.org/~eduardo/repo/i686, libgl has to be removed first manually ("pacman -Rd Iibgl).
After removing libgl and try to install catalyst-utils again I get a list of conflicting files.
Removing the conflicting files results in a new list of conflicting files.

The list of conflicting files are in my previous posts.
Thanks for any help.

lucasdemarchi · 2009-09-01 11:50:36

I didn't find the second list...

would you mind sharing it?

basb · 2009-09-01 12:51:51

Would that list be uesfull?
I wouldn't mind sharing it , but it takes some time to get it (removing all these files again).
If there is also a third, fourth and fifth list, would they also be usefull?

Only if you want help from us. Otherwise, it isn't useful. Either way, I cannot understand the problem with these informations.

You can get the list form the pacman log.

/var/log/pacman.log

It sounds vary strange.

Sorry for my late response. Yesterday I had finally time to remove the conflicted files again. I also removed the conflicting files in the second list.
After deleting those I could install catalyst-utils and catalyst.

Yesterday I remembered that I once tried to install catalyst from the ati website (didn't know it was on aur). During installation I got an error, and installation stopped. probably the already installed files weren't removed afterwards.

I have installed mesa-git with xf86-video-ati-git and other packages and I need to say that I am looking forward to get full 3d support. It works awesome on simple games like supertux etc. but Quake Live still got bugs. I didn't tried Compiz. ANybody know if radeonhd-git works better? I got HD3200.

apollokk · 2009-09-04 21:40:00

Can someone compile the packages that are needed to run compiz-fusion on Ati HD-xxxx cards, with xf86-video-ati, and upload them somewhere?

venky80 · 2009-09-05 00:11:54

I think someone in kde subversion thread was going to upload all the git drivers

apollokk · 2009-09-05 12:47:12

I have already an ftp directory, that could be great as a repo.

Can someone upload somewhere (on mediafire for example) packages that are needed (compiled), with their PKGBUILDs, patches (all the tarball extracted in general)?

Ati released 9.10 version for Ubuntu users. Please make new catalyst-leaked package

Leaking it surely is a good way to get it tested some more.

xakh · 2009-09-07 23:35:29

So, is the only way to play Sauerbraten at a respectable framerate to install catalyst? I installed xf86-video-ati, and while my 2D is awesome, flawless, openGL games fail upon starting. So is installing Catalyst the only way I can shoot things with cool graphics?

Wintervenom · 2009-09-08 00:09:16

Pretty much, for the time being, until the 3D in the open drivers gets better, or use Windows for gaming.

xakh · 2009-09-08 00:24:27

So how do I install catalyst then?

handy · 2009-09-08 04:21:31

It's in AUR.

Search for catalyst in the AUR database, & have a read of the notes, it will increase your awareness of any problems people are having with the current version of catalyst. The problems can be GPU, kernel, x.server & sometimes other package related.

It surely is going to be great when the open-source ATi drivers can deliver 3D, & we can escape the pain in the rr's that catalyst is.

OK, sooo... basing on this: http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showpost … ostcount=3and PKGBUILD of catalyst-utils-9.8 and catalyst-9.8 i've build a package, which is working preety well (I dont see any difference comparing to 9.8 =P, i dont write down benchmark points )

Heres what i've done:
1. I did every step of Kano instruction http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showpost … ostcount=3, but without first and last command ( #cd /usr/src (i've used my own directory ) and #./ati-installer.sh 8.66 install (completelly unusefull) )
2. Then I copy directory "fglrx.new" as "archive_files" to my catalyst_utils-9.8 and catalyst-9.8 AUR directories (where's PKGBUILD stand)
3. Then I've change this lines of PKGBUILD of catalyst-utils-9.8 and catalyst-9.8
*2: pkgver=9.10
*16: source=(http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-9-8-x86.x86_64.run (in fact we don't need this file at all, since we r using our archive_files to build aur catalyst-leaked package)
*26: #/bin/sh ./ati-driver-installer-${pkgver/./-}-x86.x86_64.run --extract archive_files (comment this)

I dunno i did it right way, but its working, so... well... can anybody tell me its good job?

I will try to put that catalyst-leaked packages on some server, but i got slow output here (adsl, 30 KB/s max), so it could take some time to put these files:
- catalyst-utils-9.10 is 27,9 MB fat
- catalyst-9.10 is 741,2 KB fat

ooohhh... i compile it on x86_64, and dont have i686 to do same for i686, sry

Here r my x86_64 catalyst-leaked (vel 9.10, vel 8.660) packages:
catalyst-utils: http://rapidshare.com/files/277282959/c … ar.gz.html
Edit (url update): http://www.mediafire.com/?2mghmj5yihj
catalyst (for 2.6.30-ARCH): http://rapidshare.com/files/277283350/c … ar.gz.html
Edit (url update): http://www.mediafire.com/?ljdjodjii5y

(i downloaded and checked it with md5sum)
sorry for rapidshare but my free ftp provider said big "NO!" to such "fatty" files

All u gotto do is:
* remove old packages:
pacman -Rd catalyst catalyst-utils
* install these with:
pacman -U downloads_location/catalyst-utils-9.10-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
pacman -U downloads_location/catalyst-9.10-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz

I found this driver better than 9.8 for me in one thing: in 9.8 every time I put window with video on left edge of the screen (using smplayer with xv, kde4 desktop effects on) the whole video was getting "deface", now it's working normally.
I think its the evidence for this driver to working, and working better than 9.8
Everything else works like in 9.8 - i tested kde4 desktop effects (still cant run "Exploding Windows (on exit)" effect (or whatever this effect is called in eng ver of kde4.3)), warsow0.5 on max details with fsaa x4 , xv video flickering as always, hmm... like i said i dont write down any benchmark of 9.8 so i cannot bring u comparision
Oh and im using hd 4850 exclusivelly ;P

Greetz
Edit: also using xorg-server-catalyst-maximize-fix 1.6.3.901-1 before and after installing this packages, i havent tested catalyst-leaked on original xorg-server since ive heard there r no diferences in this dimmension, kde 4.3.1
Edit2: also tested quakelive, working very well, but my config is very very poor (to see more, to play better)

Thank you for this. By the way, try MediaFire next time. They are more friendly, don't make you wait for anything, and you can download more than one file at a time.

By the way, do you have the package descriptors for these?

OK, thx, I will

Hmm... as far as i can understand you - everything based (was taken) from PKGBUILD and *.install of catalyst 9.8, changes r listed here http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 54#p615754
I am not developer, and these r my first arch packages

EDIT:
here are for example .PKGINFO and .INSTALL files of catalyst-utils:

I have found that on my catalyst-leaked nspluginwrapper-flash (32-bit flash plugin, which i preffer cuz of speed) render video from youtube in fullscreen worse than on 9.8, actually now im using normal (64bit) flashplugin which is working as always crappy

Could someone please refresh my memory on what the improvements are in the .31 kernel, with regard to the open-source ATi drivers? (As I'm sure that I read somewhere that there are some)

Thanks.
