Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

is it just me, or is kde compositing broken since about 2-3 days:
my windows only get redrawn after I move them, and everything with transparent effects look odd...
(kernel26-git variant for drm stuff, and mesa,libgl, etc. from git)

Well, I get only software rendering since I updated the radeon driver two days ago. I recompiled all packages, but still the same result. I don't use the kde compositing, but a little test provided a very slow and choppy result.

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

damn, opengl worked so good until now
xrender works fine for me too. guess I have to stay with this for a while now. I probably shouldn't update so often

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

Hello to all again. I'm stuck now with install newest version of kernel26-drm-next package - tried modify tke PKBUILD according to earlier Perry3D suggestion, but during making these errors appears:

==> Starting make...

==> ERROR: Build Failed.                                                           
    Aborting...                                                                     
Error: Makepkg was unable to build kernel26-drm-next package.

I want to try new versions because I have problem with big cpu usage by KDE4 composite extension, still searching for solusions for that - any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

I think radeon-firmware is not necessary, the firmware drivers are in kernel26-firmware-git.

I've just tried with both kernel26-firmware-git and radeon-firmware and i get the same error.
insanemal: I use kms late start. It starts in module loading step.

Following library dependencies and symbolic links i've found a /usr/libdrm_radeon.so.1.0.0b that no package owned. I've deleted it and now xorg starts!

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

2weeks ago it still worked, now using kernel26-git and can't compile xf86-video-ati, see errormessage: http://pastebin.com/m69c47d6c

Suggested on #radeon irc that I need x11proto headers?
Couldn't find those though, and wondering why no one else needs them...

Looks like there is something wrong with a header file. Try reinstalling libxext.

You must update your xorg server. I have the same problem with 1.6 xorg version, code compile only with 1.7 xorg version oO. I don't know why. I have the same problem with 2-3 install of Archlinux.

Yeah, I forgot that at first (was on 1.6 because of fglrx ).
Updating xorg and libxext made it work.

Thanks!

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

arti74 :

I'm at work so the following will be very brief ..
If you open fix-version.patch you'll see what the patch is trying to do.

--- Makefile 
+++ Makefile
@@ -1,7 +1,7 @@
 VERSION = 2
 PATCHLEVEL = 6
 SUBLEVEL = 31
-EXTRAVERSION = -rc9
+EXTRAVERSION = 
 NAME = Man-Eating Seals of Antiquity
 
 # *DOCUMENTATION*

If you then check the top of the Makefile file, you'll see that the SUBLEVEL and EXTRAVERSION don't match. You'll want to :
1. Modify the patch for, I believe, SUBLEVEL = 32 and -EXTRAVERSION = -rc6
2. Get the new md5sum for the patch file : md5sum <file>
3. Modify the md5sum in the PKGFILE for that file.

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

I would propose to use the kernel-26 git packages. I had some problems with kernel26-drm-next.

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

I am just on git kernel! So assume I don't need drm-next one? When i type:

yaourt -R kernel26-drm-next
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: mesa-full: requires kernel26-drm-next

Hmm without mesa-full this will be still working? (sorry for my noob questions)

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

mesa-full is the equivalent to libgl-git, mesa-git and ati-dri-git. So 2 ways :
libgl-git, mesa-git and ati-dri-git + kernel26-drm-next
or
mesa-full + kernel26-drm-next

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

Hi,

is there something to keep in mind, building the kernel26-git (special configuration e.g.)?

How can install the git kernel next to the current kernel. I don't want to replace the "stable one".

I don't know if you can replace the git-kernel so easy. It's not replaced here.

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

I just found it unnecessary to install xf86-video-ati-git and libdrm-git, the packages in extra works, all you have to install from git are ati-dri-git, libgl-git, mesa-git, kernel26-git, and kernel26-firmware-git. Please update the first post. By the way, I built git vesion mesa and kernel26, 3d and kms works on my hd3470, but a lot of screen garbage appears. I remember someone has met this issue but can't find where that post is, does anyone have some idea on this? ( the garbage disappears in the screenshot I took, so I can't give any image of the issue)

And one strange thing, I do have 3d now but the output of glxinfo says it's Software Rasterizer, not opengl:

OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.8-devel
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
OpenGL extensions:

Unfortunately I've got:

Error: Makepkg was unable to build mesa-git package.

Maybe this is some bull$, but I can't get through this...

Confirmed. Mind sharing your patch with us?

Nevermind, I found it in the libgl-git AUR package:

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

I get the same error. But i think this a known bug. The #define was removed yesterday: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/drm/co … b4c0a19b75
This bug is already known: http://www.radeonhd.org/?page=archive_d … 2009-11-24
I hope it will fixed soon.

@philacorns: i don't think so. And you are wondering why you get this garbage?

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

Curiously, I have everything installed but the xf86-video-ati-git package (for the obvious reason) and everything still works. So the drivers are "forward compatible" with the mesa, et al. changes to some extent.

glxinfo:

name of display: :0.0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes

However, I do not have the framebuffer whatsoever

I've added the radeon module to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and regenerated the image but no framebuffer yet. Am I forgetting to do something?

Also, this sucks:

xvinfo:

X-Video Extension version 2.2
screen #0
 no adaptors present

Is this just because my drivers are not from git?

EDIT: DOH! Just found out from glxinfo its using the software rasterizer. The "old" drivers certainly do NOT work. Here's to hoping the git ati driver compiles again soon

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

I have ATI radeon HD 4570 card in my laptop. I switched from catalyst to the drivers mentioned in this guide, yet I can't see any improvement. Performance weirdly has degraded, I can't even watch movies, cause there is some lag.
I tried setting nomodeset but it doesn't help.
Guess I'll get back to catalyst.

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

Here's to hoping the git ati driver compiles again soon

There was a commit a few hours ago: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/drm/co … b3139b0d5f
It should be fixed. Just recompile libdrm-git.

@Nuz: For video rendering with the ati-driver use xv as output. If you have other problems give us some infos as mentioned in the first post.

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

scrolling is fast, xv works sweet, kms also works. haven't seen any artifacts yet. this is without compositing, tho.

EDIT:
Without Composite: You can see window trails when you resize a window.  Sometimes very minor artifacts can be seen around some UI components.

With Composite: moving a window leaves a trail, and there are major artifacts around the desktop.  Definitely not ready for a composite desktop yet.

Re: Discussion: the ati/radeon open source drivers & radeon repository

@Perry3D: I got the garbage before I removed libdrm-git, glproto-git, and dri2proto-git. And I found xf86-video-ati in extra is already the git version.

@Perry3D: I got the garbage before I removed libdrm-git, glproto-git, and dri2proto-git. And I found xf86-video-ati in extra is already the git version.

And xf86-video-ati in extra is over a month old. And i don't think it is good to use different versions of the packages. So i don't change the howto in the first post to your proposal.
