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

Guys, anybody knows if drm-radeon-testing is going to be merged with 2.6.35? New kernel has achieved RC1 state, so maybe there will be update to this version in drm-radeon-testing?

The dynamic clock management patches are merged in, imho the voltage control will be in 2.6.36

I mean - will be drm-radeon-testing based on 2.6.35?

Another question - voltage control is automatically turned on? I'm using RV740 chip.

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

Another update for the x86_64 repo. I added the patches for tiling support. There should be a performance improvement.

/edit: Uhh, nice speedup with compiz :-) . I played Quakelive for some minutes: works flawless.

Phoronix: Thermal Monitoring Comes To Newer Radeon DRM

This patch, however, will not work for 100% of the R600/R700/Evergreen GPUs as not all OEMs support the actual internal sensor. Most of the Mobility Radeon ASICs also implement a separate ACPI-based thermal monitoring mechanism.

but

# sensors
radeon-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:       +54.0°C

At the moment i upload the patched kernel.


And don't forget to enable color tiling in your xorg.conf for a performance improvement:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "radeonCard"
    Driver      "radeon"
    Option "ColorTiling" "True"
EndSection

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

the latest mesa-full package from http://gtklocker.tiven.org/radeon-repo/i686/ mesa-full-20100601-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz doesn't seem to have glxinfo compiled within it so fusion-icon didn't load after i upgraded.  Had to downgrade to mesa-full-20100519-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz in order for it to work.

Glxinfo is now in mesa-demos-git. It was removed from the mesa master branch.
