Savage4: DRI installed and enabled, still not working!

Gullible Jones · 2005-02-11 23:23:32

My box has Savage4-based ProSavage 8 onboard video hardware, which I am attempting to enable acceleration for. XOrg comes with 2D drivers for this hardware; however, 3D drivers are not included in XOrg or the Arch default kernel (though the kernel is compiled with DRM), so I had to install Mesa. Bingo, there's my 3D driver.

My xorg.conf seems to be configured right (it bloody well should be since I used hwd!)... But still no DRI according to glxinfo, still lame FPS from glxgears (113-144 FPS for normal-sized window), and still bloody hideous FPS from TuxRacer (~2 FPS).

Any help? I'm pretty sure I'm doing this right... Do I need to compile something into the kernel or something?

My xorg.conf:

What glxgears gives me:

678 frames in 5.0 seconds = 135.600 FPS
565 frames in 5.0 seconds = 113.000 FPS

Any help?

Edit: changed "Mode 0660" to back to "0666". Doesn't help a damn thing.

BTW, I'm using the stock Arch kernel (linux-2.6.10-ARCH).

Check for errors "(EE)" in /var/log/Xorg.o.log

Gullible Jones · 2005-02-12 16:01:46

First error concerns Speedo module, which really doesn't exist (I ought to change xorg.conf so as not to load it):

(EE) Failed to load module "speedo" (module does not exist, 0)

Now something interesting:

(WW) SAVAGE(0): Option "DRI" is not used

Not an error, but DRI bloody well is used. I can put 'Option "DRI"' or 'Option "DRI" "on"' under the device section, and it won't change a damn thing.

There are no further errors whatsoever.

Gullible Jones · 2005-02-13 18:27:07

Xorg in the extras folder? Huh? :? What are you talking about?

Gullible Jones · 2005-02-14 02:24:46

Just a question... Do I need the XOrg binary if I use XOrg 6.8.2? IIRC the new version should support Savage acceleration.

Edit: Oh yeah, don't you have to install DRM via CVS? You need kernel modules don't you?

Gullible Jones · 2005-02-14 12:12:10

Okay... Thanks.

Gullible Jones · 2005-03-02 22:46:40

Alrighty... Sorry to resurrect a dead thread here, but I followed Jy's instructions and it didn't work. Sure I've got hardware accel now... It just happens that my display is now a complete blur no matter what my xorg.conf settings are, and, when I exit X via ctrl-alt-backspace (which requires me to hit the keys several times), my monitor complains that the scan rate is out of range for about 5 seconds... :shock: Is there any way to get this working without blowing out my monitor first?

And no, there's not a single error message in Xorg.0.log.

vacant · 2005-03-03 08:57:00

Decide which screen res you want, choose a reasonable refresh rate (75 or 85 - I'm using 100 as my monitor can do it). Then use these numbers in "gtf"

[paul@night ~]$ gtf 1024 768 100

  # 1024x768 @ 100.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 81.40 kHz; pclk: 113.31 MHz
  Modeline "1024x768_100.00"  113.31  1024 1096 1208 1392  768 769 772 814  -HSync +Vsync

[paul@night ~]$

Make sure the pixel clock rate ("pclk") isn't above your monitor's max pxel clock rate, my max rate is 157.

Now you've got the "modeline", put that in the "monitor" section of xorg.conf

Here is mine

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "han"
    HorizSync   30-96
    VertRefresh 47-160
    Option     "DPMS"
    DisplaySize 320 240
#    Gamma      1.20
    Modeline   "1280x960"  153.09  1280 1376 1512 1744  960 961 964 1009 -HSync +Vsync
    Modeline   "1152x864"  143.47  1152 1232 1360 1568  864 865 868 915  -HSync +Vsync
    Modeline   "1024x768"  125.41  1024 1096 1208 1392  768 769 772 819  -HSync +Vsync
    Modeline   "640x480"   30.72   640  664  728  816   480 481 484 502  -HSync +Vsync
EndSection

Check your horizsync and vertrefresh are correct.

Gullible Jones · 2005-03-03 11:56:19

Everything seems to be correct... I generated xorg.conf with HWD, so it already has a bunch of modlines in it, and XOrg sees them. When I'm not using DRI, everything looks fine.

Eugenia · 2005-03-19 22:57:55

Hi guys, it doesn't work here either, even if I followed the instructions (tried March 15th snapshot). Dmesg gives me these errors when trying to load the DRM module:

Any ideas?

Eugenia · 2005-03-19 23:04:24

btw, "modprobe drm" works, but when restarting X, it seems that the Savage module kills the drm module, because doing afterwards an "lsmod" shows no drm loaded (while it was up before trying to load the savage module)!

Gullible Jones · 2005-03-19 23:59:59

No clue about that. It worked for me... All too well - X would give me nothing but blurred, flickering crap, even with 16 bit color and 1024x768 resolution.

Maybe the way to do it is to recompile XOrg completely from CVS, along with Mesa and DRM.

Eugenia · 2005-03-22 00:00:11

Gullible Jones: do you use a custom compiled kernel or the plain Arch one?

Gullible Jones · 2005-03-22 02:36:19

Plain old Arch. I don't think that's a problem... The DRM module loaded and everything, no errors, but something wasn't configured right. Maybe those hwd-generated modlines aren't good enough?

Eugenia · 2005-03-22 07:56:33

No, the reason I asked was because the via-agp module does not exist. I am not sure it has been compiled into the kernel. If it hasn't, this is why no one of us can load the Savage DRI.

Gullible Jones · 2005-03-24 23:55:03

You're right... The module's not there.

Maybe the module is compiled into the MM kernel? I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case.

kth5 · 2005-03-29 17:19:50

For most supported cards, you have the userspace pieces already. The
exceptions, as of Xorg 6.8, are again mach64 and savage. For those you need to
build the Xorg server with "#define BuildDevelDRIDrivers YES" in host.def.

Source: http://people.freedesktop.org/~ajax/dri-explanation.txt

short, recompile Xorg with this option in the host.def and try again. i'm doing that on a Kontron MicroATX board with a "ProSavage PN133" card. i'll report my results shortly.
