Just another 'ATI KMS' thread - crash by console or X shutdown

germandev · 2010-01-02 11:06:34

Hi!

I'm one of those who is trying to get my Radeon HD 3200 working with early KMS and Arch x64 on my HP touchsmart tx2.

While the last versions worked either not at all or a little bit so X could start the current one seems to be a bit more stable. But nevertheless I experience a very strange behaviour: When trying to switch to a console (CTRL + ALT + F[1..6]) the screen just gets blank and the whole systems seems to crash. When trying to shutdown and X is closed the same happens and the shutdown doesn't occur. Unfortunately accelleration doesn't work as well. Might there be a mistake I made? I don't understand the line of the Xorg log marked with '(*)' by me at all. What's that about?

Package versiosn I am using that might be interesting:

kernel26 2.6.32.2-2
xf86-video-ati 6.12.4-3
xorg-server 1.7.3.902-1
dri2proto 2.1-1
lib32-mesa 7.7-1
mesa 7.7-1
lib32-libdrm 2.4.17-2
libdrm 2.4.17-2
libgl 7.7-1
xf86driproto 2.1.0-1

Currently I neither use the radeon module nor hook nor the firmware hook for the initial ramdisk.

glxgears (from which I know it isn't a benchmark at all) runs with about 415 fps.

Do you have any idea what the problem(s) might be?

Thank you in advance!

read the kernel announce and ati wiki page.

What do you mean with 'kernel announce'?

I did read the ATI wiki page:

* My card is supported by xf86-video-ati
* I added the dri section
* Catalyst is neither nor was ever installed
* KMS isn't enabled by hand because it is enabled automatically (even if the wiki says it different)
* Using the git drivers doesn't change the behaviour

Disabling KMS doesn't seem to enabling 3d accelleration for me. So what can I do to get it?

AndyRTR · 2010-01-03 12:02:03

our latest kernel doesn't have kms enabled by default. check where you have your system configured to enable it. we don't recommend and support kms anymore for now.

germandev · 2010-01-03 12:36:22

ok, thank you for that information - so what would you propose to have 3d accel with arch and my HD 3200?

germandev · 2010-01-06 08:04:21

I disabled KMS and still experience the same issues: Switching to another VT or shutting down X (respectively the computer itself) results in a full crash.

I have to turn the power off to get my computer turned off for few days now and so really need help.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance!

KMS is still enabled in the kernel, it's just libdrm that needs to be recompiled. And then mesa and xf86-video-ati need to be recompiled against that. In other words it's a huge pain. The package versions I'm using now that get decent radeon kms framerates are:

kernel26-2.6.31.6
libdrm-2.4.16
xf86-video-ati-git-20091008
mesa-7.6
xorg-server-1.6.3.901

And I refuse to upgrade until I can upgrade and still have KMS. Thanks to a combination of "Arch doesn't want to support KMS" and "Dave Airlie despite his best intentions makes the driver more prone to crash on my system with every git push" my IgnorePkg list is now a page long.
