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

handy · 2010-04-10 23:37:01

Please forgive my ignorance?

Could someone give me a clue as to why I have the following, as I would like to grow my understanding:

[drm] Internal thermal controller without fan control
[drm] 2 Power State(s)
[drm] State 0 Default (default)
[drm] 16 PCIE Lanes
[drm] 3 Clock Mode(s)
[drm] 0 engine/memory: 600000/650000
[drm] 1 engine/memory: 600000/650000
[drm] 2 engine/memory: 600000/650000
[drm] State 1 Performance
[drm] 16 PCIE Lanes
[drm] 3 Clock Mode(s)
[drm] 0 engine/memory: 600000/650000
[drm] 1 engine/memory: 600000/650000
[drm] 2 engine/memory: 600000/650000
[drm] radeon: dynamic power management enabled
[drm] radeon: power management initialized

Are there any means of configuring the PM?

Do I have this situation because PM is a work in progress?

Thanks for your time.

@venky80:

Kernel:
- kernel26-drm-radeon-testing
- kernel26-firmware-git
- radeon_ucode
X-server:
- dri2proto-git
- glproto-git
- libdrm-git

@handy: Which kernel are you using? Did you append radeon.dynpm=1 to your kernel parameters (i don't know if it is the default)?

Yes I added that to the kernel line in menu.lst.

I upgraded today, so I'm using kernel .34-rc3 & everything else that comes with the upgrade from your repo.

By the way, a fellow over at the Ubuntu forums looked at your OP here from a link I provided & got his KMS & PM working on kernel .34 in kubuntu, he offered his gratitude to you as you provided the missing key for him. I told him I'd pass it on. He also posted what he had to do, so it will help other adventurers over there. Good stuff.

@perry How is - kernel26-drm-radeon-testing different from kernel26-pm and kernel26-git are you also maintaining other kernels?
Also could the first post be edited with this info, does not look like it has any mention of this kernel

Why 2D and 3D with KMS under r600 is much slower than without it? It's normal?

Here KMS is much faster on my R3450 than UMS. However when I turn dynpm in KMS it's really really laggy. Try without dynpm.

It's been that way for quite a bit.

But the impact is not that big... I only get a 400-800fps hit.. its down to 1500fps in glxgears.

but yeah..

kernel26-drm-radeon-testing? I tried it yesterday, and it just didn't build.

Perry3D · 2010-04-11 11:41:44

@venky: To clarify this:
kernel26-git ist the kernel branch from Linus.
kernel26-drm-radeon-testing is a special branch from David Airlie (the developer from Red Hat): http://airlied.livejournal.com/71261.html .
kernel26-pm is the same branch with some powermanagment-patches. But i think this is obsulete cause these patches were merged in the drm-radeon-testing branch.

@flexoid: Don't use glxgears to compare UMS and KMS. A game would be more meaningful.
@gtklocker: I also get build errors with the pm-patches. So i removed them.

Glxgears, games, kwin... they all work slower by feeleng.

Thanks, i will try it.

(update) now, after a reboot and not changing anything I think, acceleration is broken as well And another reboot later I have WXGA without hw accel....
I'm having a little trouble after upgrading to .33: KMS works fine (finally, I can see my ttys on my resolution-picky hdtv), also the hardware acceleration (including xbmc NOT using 100% cpu when idle anymore), but I can't use a WXGA resolution anymore, only XGA. radeonhd sets the display to XGA, then fails, radeon sets the display to XGA and works fine xorg.conf follows (but its basically the same if I don't use any xorg.conf at all):

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Ati"
        Driver      "radeon"
        Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
        Option "EnablePageFlip" "on" 
        Option "AGPFastWrite" "yes"
        Option "EXAVSync" "yes"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen"
        Device     "Ati"
        DefaultDepth 24
        SubSection "Display"
          Depth     24
          Modes    "1360x768"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Perry3D · 2010-04-11 12:28:59

Ok, i updated my first post.

@delmonico: Don't use radeonhd with KMS. It is not supported. I think you can set your resolution manually by adding video=VGA-1:1024x768 to your kernel parameters (not tested). To set it for all output connectors use video=1024x768.

@flexoid: Are you using the drivers from the extra repo? There will be some performance improvements with KMS when mesa 7.8 is in the repository.

With the 2.6.33 release in core I've switched all my git packages to stable branch. For my needs everything is working as it should.

I have KMS enabled:

[drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
[drm] radeon kernel modesetting enabled.

DRI2:

OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R600 (RS880 9712) 20090101  TCL DRI2
OpenGL version string: 1.5 Mesa 7.7.1
OpenGL extensions:

glxgears performance in my HD 4200 is not the best, but it's acceptable, as I don't play any games:
5683 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1136.572 FPS
5685 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1136.960 FPS
5683 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1136.591 FPS

Thanks Perry3D and everyone else for this very helpful thread.

venky80 · 2010-04-11 17:52:12

can someone confirm if they can connect to wifi using intel 5100 AGN. After the openssl update and 2.6.33.2 I am not able to connect to wifi

Solved had wpa_supplicant issue upgraded now it is fine

I'm using *-git packages from nightly repo. I don't wanna very good performance, i don't play games, but lagging of Xorg (especially kwin effects) is feeling.

bmentink · 2010-04-13 07:52:21

Hey Guys,

I used to run the -git versions of xf86-video-ati etc and mesa-full from aur to get my DRI2 going and KMS ... which all worked great.

But, that was awhile ago, and on hearing 3D support is now in the mainline, I reverted all my -git files and re-installed mesa, libgl, ati-dri etc
and uninstalled mesa-full etc .. I also did a full upgrade at the same time.

However, even though KMS seems to work (I get a high res TTY ..) I do not get any DRI2 happening, I am only seeing the software renderer again ..

OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.7.1
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
OpenGL extensions:

Can someone help me with getting the hardware accel working? It seems I am missing something ..

(Is it because I have ati-dri installed .... maybe)

LSPCI shows my card as:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV730 PRO [Radeon HD 4650]
01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RV710/730

Thanks,
B

Can you post the ouput of dmesg and Xorg.0.log?

kernel .34-rc4 is out:

have you installed radeon_ucode?

Perry3D · 2010-04-13 13:13:23

Arch does not provide the firmware files for irq support (radeon_ucode) although KMS is enabled by default?
I found nothing in the bug tracker .

Do I have to get that from AUR? it is not in the normal repositories ..

Anyway, I installed it using yaourt ... I take it it puts the binary files in /lib/firmware/radeon ??

It hasn't made any difference after a new boot though ..

Just to recap, I have installed:

xf86-video-ati
mesa
libdrm
glproto
dri2proto
libgl
freeglut
ati-dri
kernel26-firmware
radeon_ucode

All but the last from the normal repositories.

Cheers,
Bernie

An update, I noticed this in dmesg:

[drm] Loading RV730 Microcode

R700_rlc.bin is there which is strange,... why can't it load it?

Very strange, this all used to work with the *-git versions of stuff and mesa-full
