[SOLVED]Error with xf86-video-ati 6.12.99.git20091221-1 + mesa-7.6.1-1

Tapan · 2009-12-23 07:11:31

Upgrade mesa (7.6-2 -> 7.6.1-1), libgl (7.6-2 -> 7.6.1-1), libgl (7.6-2 -> 7.6.1-1) and ati-dri (7.6-2 -> 7.6.1-1) from testing broke my resolution in KDE - X start only with vesa driver.
I don't use xorg.conf, kernel is kernel26 2.6.32.2-1 from testing, KMS disabled (don't work with this kernel)
/var/log/Xorg.0.log:

Compiling xf86-video-ati-git (20091223-1) solve this problem

I have kernel 2.6.31-ARCH, nothing testing repository but in my

and, for example, switch for different desktop is very slow. Also maximized windows is very slow (I'm using xfce with compositing)

Exactly same error output, but looks like it solved by rebuilding xf86-video-ati (6.12.99.git20091221-1). No other actions needed

Edit: I have KMS disabled and use Radeon HD 4200 (RV620)

Downgrade using pacman -S extra/xf86-video-ati. We just droppen all git and experimental based Ati related packages. See threads on the public devel ML.

I get

(EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed because of a version mismatch.

too... I guess it's an ati-dri error

Works fine, thanks

firewalker · 2009-12-23 18:16:05

I also had some packets from testing. Now compositing does not work.

What packets should I downgrade?

I found xf86-video-ati-6.12.99.git20091207-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz. What else?

AndyRTR · 2009-12-23 18:36:05

[andyrtr@laptop64 ~]$ pacman -Q libdrm mesa libgl ati-dri xf86-video-ati
libdrm 2.4.17-2
mesa 7.6.1-1
libgl 7.6.1-1
ati-dri 7.6.1-1
xf86-video-ati 6.12.4-2

That's what you should have on your system. That set has the old API back and is what we now support.

firewalker · 2009-12-23 19:09:05

The old API doesn't support compositing?

AndyRTR · 2009-12-24 09:01:46

Make sure you disable KMS. Then all supported cards should have DRI(1) enabled.

firewalker · 2009-12-24 11:30:55

Unfortunately with the old packets compositing doesn't work for me (even with kms disabled). Can you please point to the discussion on the mailing list? Is there any time schedule for those packets?

drcouzelis · 2009-12-24 15:14:59

The mailing list discussion starts here:

It doesn't look like there is a scheduled released date for mesa 7.7.

Same here, guys... I can't understand, it used to work fine with mesa 7.5 and kernel 2.6.31 and now everything is messed up.
All we have to do is wait.
