kernek 2.6.31 + drm-next + radeon firmware + extras mesa, libgl, ati drivers => kms and 3d works fine
removed drm-next and radeon-firmware, installed .32 => the result is that I can see black screen and cursor of starting Gnome, but at some point my monitor says "NO SIGNAL" and turns off
for now reinstalled .31 and drm-next

any ideas why this is happening?

And with git versions, it works !

ddaedalus · 2009-12-06 11:58:13

@kaouete: http://www.mail-archive.com/dri-devel@l … 45045.html You need at least mesa-git or mesa 7.7

Stock kernel 2.6.32, xf86-video-ati, ati radeon hd4850: KMS works well, starts late, without me modifying _anything_ just pulling the .32 kernel from testing.
3D does not work because of the bug mentioned above. Tried mesa 7.6.1, doesn't work either.

b4283 · 2009-12-06 11:58:15

my system is a AMD 780G IGP (HD3200/RS780)
currently installed: kernel 2.6.32, mesa-full (git i believe), libdrm-git, xf86-video-ati-git

Does KMS work ?

KMS does work, could be seen from fast switching of ttys.

If it does --> late or early start ?

i can only use a late start right now because it seems that initramfs won't include radeon's firmware, hence breaking the boot process.

3D ?

3d doens't work at all, because 3d programs won't run.

2D ?

i can only *feel* there's a improvement in 2d graphics because desktop animations are smoother now.
but xcompmgr crashes the Xorg, appearing that mouse cursor will still move, but all other response hangs.

Glxgears ? (even though it isn't a benchmark)

glxgears & glxinfo gets the same error message:

glxinfo: main/context.c:629: check_context_limits: Assertion `ctx->Const.MaxTextureCoordUnits <= ctx->Const.MaxTextureImageUnits' failed.

quake 3 get the same error too. (twice)
it seems that all 3d programs are maybe all broken (because of mesa ?).

there's a messy output on Xorg's stderr too, but I don't know how to grab it within console.

Hmm,

makes me wonder.

.31 kernel + drm-next is the current .32

so I make a suggestion.

Try the .32 kernel, with ONLY [extra]'s mesa,libgl,ati-dri and (if possible) xf86-video-ati + radeon-firmware from AUR. I think that radeon-firmware though belongs to kernel26-firmware, so --> have you updated kernel26-firmware as well from [testing] ?

OK. So compositing is working nice and smooth with 2.6.32 from testing and all git stuff. KMS is disabled because composite with KMS works slow. I couldn't enable Early start because firmware images are missing in initrd. I am missing Audio HDMI (in radeonhd it worked flawlessly), I can't turn it on.

kernel26-firmware is a dependency of kernel26 ( or vice-versa )
at this moment I have:
local/kernel26 2.6.31.6-1 (base)
local/kernel26-drm-next 20091024-1
local/kernel26-firmware 2.6.32-1 (base) [ testing repo, I need to remove this one to install radeon-firmware from aur]
local/ati-dri 7.6-2
local/libgl 7.6-2
local/mesa 7.6-2
=> everything works fine

I have also tried xf86-video-ati-git from aur, but the result is a total block (no keyboard) after startx and a black screen with tty cursor in upper left corner

I'll try again later today. are there some logs I can read after reboot (with reset) which may contain some info about what happens?

ps: I have radeon hd3450, no gdm, login from tty + startx, xorg without config

Currently i'm using
- kernel26 + kernel26-firmware from testing
- libdrm-git from AUR
- mesa-split i posted in this thread
- xf86-video-ati-git from AUR

Everything works like charm (tested compiz, glxgears and xbmc).

OT: Can i upload split packages to AUR?

/edit: Also testet QuakeLive (even with compiz on) and KDE4: works perfectly.

With 2.6.32 kernel:
* KMS with extras' mesa, libdrm: 3D doesn't work, artefacts in KDE4 (no composition enabled); smoother fonts on my LCD
* no-KMS, extras' mesa, libdrm: 3D doesn't work, however no artefacts in KDE4 (no composition),
* no-KMS, git versions of above pkgs: 3D doesn't work, no artefacts in KDE4 (no OpenGL composition enabled)
* KMS, git versions of above pkgs: 3D works, so far no artefacts in KDE4 (cannot enable OpenGL composition), smoother fonts; glxgears works
(ati-dri, libgl are from extras in every case)
KMS late, of course. Early doesn't work and the reason has been mentioned somewhere recently.

I have Radeon 2600XT. Xorg complains only in the last case:

(EE) RADEON(0): Acceleration initialization failed

glxgears (when doesn't work):

IRQ's not enabled, falling back to busy waits: 2 0
drmRadeonCmdBuffer: -22. Kernel failed to parse or rejected command stream. See dmesg for more info.

installing mesa-split did somehow make *some* 3d worked (not full speed)
i could run quake 3 with poor fps now

i can confirm the above testcases with a Radeon 3650. also, afaik that last error is linked to missing vblank, which supposedly might be added in 2.6.33. the git-drivers work around this..

godane · 2009-12-07 00:12:21

I found out my custom kernel can't load the radeon driver. Here is the error in dmesg:

radeon: Unknown symbol ttm_tt_set_placement_caching

This is weird since ttm_tt_set_placement_caching is a export symbol.

Here is the original git patch for when it was added to kernel:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/g … 722388ff72

I'm reversing the patch to see if i can get 3d back. I will report back if it works or not.

EDIT: I got radeon to load now with patch. But here is the error i got:

arch@arch-live ~ $ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE
Current Operating System: Linux arch-live 2.6.32-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Dec 6 19:38:31 PST 2009 i686
    (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
(EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed to open the DRM
(EE) RADEON(0): Acceleration initialization failed

So I think it is the same as everyone else.

Hey, is there something special you need to do to make it work on a 32 bit chroot?

See the difference?

I installed all the same packages inside the chroot, at least I'm pretty sure.

EDIT: Fixed by uninstalling all packages and installing them in the order I was supposed to

Ah finally finish reading this Thread, i had errors with glxgears

drmRadeonCmdBuffer: -22. Kernel failed to parse or rejected command stream. See dmesg for more info.

Fixed by compiling everything Git!, dri2proto-git glproto-git libdrm-git libgl-git mesa-git xf86-video-ati-git kernel2.6.32, oh KMS works , 3D Dead Slow.

I'm using kernel26 from [testing] (2.6.32-1), KMS work (late start ok, early start - firmware load problem). Artefact in KDE4 (no desktop effects enabled od XRender desktop effect, OpenGL don't work).
Glxgears don't work.

Without KMS works all like with kernel26 2.6.31 (2D ok, OpenGL effect don't work, only XRender, glxgears ~300 fps)
I try xf86-video-ati-git, system freeze when X starts.

edit:
When i try glxgears (donť work), dmesg says:

And i have about 2000 fps in glxgears (ok, i'm using a hd4850).

are you using it with nomodeset?

riri · 2009-12-07 10:39:15

Hi

Just tested the 2.6.32 from testing. Not tested 3D, but acceleration available with KMS with late start (not modifed initrd generation). Can't keep this kernel for now, because it hurts my wifi connexion : ultra slow, deconnexion every 1 minutes - I didn't have time to check the reason or even to analyse the logs, too mushc things to do for now. I'll test again next week.

No, works here fine, too. I guess, same packages as you have (kernel26 from testing, libdrm-git, libgl-git, mesa-git, ati-dri-git, xf86-video-ati-git).

HD 4650 (2400 fps in glxgears, about 60 fps in ExtremeTuxRacer, 20 - 70 fps in SuperTuxKart, War§ow works, KDE kwin-effects working, kms late start [don't know about early start, last time I tried, it didn't want to]).

sovok_kpss · 2009-12-07 11:10:36

I've tested my HD2600(RV630) on 2.6.32(with latest drm-radeon-testing branch), libraries and dirvers are from tutorial in the first post of this topic.
I have KMS working(early and late start)
Compiz works fine(without alpha blur).
I have 800 fps in glxgears.
Scorched3D workes quiet well.
Celestia doesn't work

I reinstalled kernel26.32 and mesa, ati ... packages, same result, monitor says "NO SIGNAL" and turns off
then I installed everything -git => desktop loads without problems, compiz works fine, glxgears reports ~1250 fps (as previously), but fps in quake live dropped to 1-3fps, doh

for now I have to stay with drm-next

And i have about 2000 fps in glxgears (ok, i'm using a hd4850).

Works fine except this "do_wait: drmWaitVBlank returned -1, IRQs don't seem to be working correctly.
Try adjusting the vblank_mode configuration parameter."
I'm using kernel26 from testing, libdrm-git, mesa-split, xf86-video-ati-git.
HD 3650M, 1460 FPS glxgears and KMS late.
