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

Perry3D · 2010-06-03 15:03:49

You need the kernel from the drm-radeon-testing branch, and a patched mesa and a patched xf86-video-ati driver. You can use my/gtklockers repository.
Then you get this:

(**) RADEON(0): Option "ColorTiling" "True"
(II) RADEON(0): KMS Color Tiling: enabled

Just ask to alex on irc, it's because i've rebuild xf86-video-ati (got xorg 1.8.1) and not applied the patches, i was guessing they were already applied.

So it's not an issue.

yes that did help. Perry could you add that to first post. I was able to run youtube HD without issues (but i think flash has no gfx acceleration yet)

does r600 do H264/MPEG4 video acceleration?

Got the tiling patches for the ddx somewhere ? i've failed to extract them myself.

It seems the changes get lost. I set it yesterday to low, and today was "default"... !

Also, my sensors, won't work

The second one - which I dont know what it is, usually hits high temps and forces machine to halt.

I complement the first post yesterday. I hope it is understandable.
And no, at the moment there is no full support for video decoding. Just Xv, but this is working flawless for me.

Sysfs is a virtual filesystem. It is created during the boot process. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sysfs

But you can put it in your /etc/rc.local.

@Perry - you said that Xv is working for you. Are you using Compiz or something? Which card do you have? For me - when I tried to use Xv in SMplayer video just didn't appear.

EDIT: It's really weird - in Gnome MPlayer everything seems good... Any help?

you can enable dynpm with:
echo dynpm > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method

mesa-full is recommended as mesa-r600-r700-git is out-of-date.

For me Xv is also working in smplayer, also with compiz enabled. I have set it to xv (0 - Radeon Textured Video). And i am using a HD4850.
You can check for working xv with: xvinfo
Do you use multiple screens? Are you using a xorg.conf? A "special" mplayer version?

If you like to view H264 HD1080p videos, I use SMplayer with video option "gl (veloce - schede ATI)", in Italian it means (speedy - ATI cards). It should be a special video driver to use ati acceleration, with that I am able to play 1080p films very well without frame drops.
It's a lot better than "xv (0 - Radeon Textured Video)" for me.

I hope this will help you

xvinfo tells me that Xv is working. I've got simple xorg.conf from your thread, I don't use multiple screens and got mplayer from repos. I've tried to remove smplayer config, mplayer config etc. and nothing is working.
For me gl for ATi card makes screen flicker. It's really annoying, because it happens and is visible... like artifacts. Huh, I'll use GMplayer, while googling in free time for answer.

Are you sure you use the open source driver and not the catalyst driver? For me xv is faster than gl. And from the technical side xv should be better.

Did you try it without an xorg.conf (hal daemon must run)?

@loadheavy:
mesa-r600-r700-git from AUR: fine
mesa-full from AUR: out of date (the maintainer isn't responding
mesa-full from my repo: fine (+ patches for color tiling)

flamelab · 2010-06-05 09:33:36

@Perry3D:

Could you ask a TU so that mesa-full on AUR gets orphaned so that you could adopt it ?

Except for that, I'd like to see the PKGBUILDs you use for the repo on a git repo like Github or Gitorious...!

No, I can't because I'm using testing repo and there is Xorg 1.8.1, so with you driver it cannot run (IgnoreABI option i xorg.conf)

sometimes after resuming from suspend to ram , the mouse is not detected how can I make the system detect my mouse without restarting?

how can I remove dynpm, my screen flickers when i scroll webpages.
power_profile low was the best for me

Perry3D · 2010-06-06 22:45:53

Restart should reset everything
or
echo profile > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method

Yes. SMplayer still isn't working with Xv. I'm tired of this, I'll just use GMplayer. It isn't as good as SMplayer but is working

We're planning it.

Edit: After a reinstallation of Arch (some VERY weird probs), I used [testing] and I figured out xf86-video-ati should be rebuild to be functional with Xorg 1.8. So, Xorg 1.8 users, just rebuild the xf86-video-ati package from the src we've uploaded to the repo.
