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

I was wondering if it is possible to maintain video aspect ratio with this driver ? I am trying to play Eschalon Book I fullscreen but the game screen is stretched.

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

You can't run the game in your native resolution?
I have an option in my monitor-menu that can solve this. I can choose between stretch, original and stretch with the right aspect ratio.

But i don't know if the driver can do this. Did you look at the xrandr man page?

Not every game support wide resolutions and laptops dont have monitor OSD, so in windows-land, you can tell the driver what to do when you are using 4:3 resolution with a 16:9 or 16:10 monitor.

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

@Perry3D    Just to let you know so you can put a note on the first page until it is updated, the mesa-r600-r700-git PKGBUILD (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34999) needs to be altered to work due to the following commit:


5 days    Remove demos that have moved to git+ssh://git.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/demos.    Eric Anholt    873    -947072/+2

The following line needs to be removed from the PKGBUILD(the last line):

install -m755 progs/xdemos/glxinfo progs/xdemos/glxgears ${pkgdir}/usr/bin/

@andrewthomas:
    You can adopt mesa-r600-r700-git, I've been busy for quite a time...
@Perry3D:
    Now the latest power management features have been merged into Linus' mainline kernel.

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

Maybe we should build an extra package: mesa-demos-git?

No, the game is 800x600 only.
I tried xrandr but except putting some black lines it doesn't help much.
Anyway, the game is too slow with this driver to be realy playable, I will wait for Gallium3D before trying again.

I haven't tried the latest (-git15) but the -git9 had a serious udev polling problem

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

I updated the whole x86_64 repo. And i applied the voltage patches to kernel26-drm-radeon-testing: so far everything is working fine. But i don't know if the voltage drop is working, cause i own a desktop.

/edit: updated i686 too.

There is a new package: mesa-demos-git. This package contains glxinfo, glxgears and a lot of other tests (it was removed from the mesa repo).

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

One week ago the mesa-demos were included in the mesa-package. Now it is split in two packages.
Mesa-Full is the driver package and mesa-demos are some mesa-examples (glxgears and glxinfo for example).

Voltage support has been merged to the drm-radeon-testing branch. Also tiling support is applied (should result in performance increasing). wink
