Nice try, but failed
Of course I know that. I talked about Tripple-Buffering *hint*
But stuttering and an average FPS rate around 30 is really worse. Especially if I got an average rate around 120 FPS without VSYNC.

Well then that IS a bug, i hope that you already filed it in the proper bugtracker.

hoschi · 2010-12-11 17:34:03

You right. I should, but before that I must run some tests.
On the other side. Same effect appears on the desktop (fedora14) with the older R700 (it was terrible to play CS with WINE and VSYNC ON).

Of course performance "worse". vsync will cap your FPS at the monitor refresh rate which I guess is 60Hz, so you will see max 60FPS. That's a feature not a bug.

You should try Warcraft3 in wine with r600c. For some strange reason it never runs really smooth but with vsync it is really much worse than without.

hoschi · 2010-12-12 16:43:07

Yup. Thats what I mean.
But now something other...

Andreas Radke add a lot of GIT-Version to Testing and moved this now to Extra. But not the drivers itself
Using the GIT-Drivers in Testing would be really nice.

Perry3D · 2010-12-12 20:42:59

But the git package in testing are from the 7.9 branch and not from the master branch.
There will only be fixes in this branch and no new features.

agapito · 2010-12-13 10:37:54

How can i compile modules against this kernel? is there a kernel-headers package for 2.6.37?

Oh. My mistake!

Hum please I continue not to be able to have blur effect in kwin with my radeon HD4850 even if I'm using the radeon driver and I've mesa 7.10.
How can I solve this rpoblem, thanks.

splashy · 2010-12-20 20:01:08

Haaaa blur effect in KDE is now fix by the last mesa-devel revision found on this repository!! It's such a great I have now all the benefits from the 7.10 version AND my blur effect, no glitches and a highter stability in KDE! Eventually it's here!!!

venky80 · 2010-12-20 22:43:17

do the drivers here support chakra kernels?

you should ask the chakra guys.

lib32-mesa-full from the repo installs in /opt/
This would be totally ok if there was a file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ that would tell ld that the libs are there...

Either:
- add /etc/ld.so.conf.d/lib32-mesa-full.conf with path to the libs
Or:
- place the libs to all the others in /usr/lib32

Skyalmian · 2010-12-25 11:14:48

Query: Are the mesa packages being built with EGL/GLES enabled? "You'd need to build your mesa with "--enable-egl" and "--enable-gles2" -- reference to Chromium's "WebGL" which reports the lack of "libGLESv2.so". I'm currently using chromium-dev with all the packages listed on page 1 of this thread, and 2D acceleration / WebGL is a no-go.

I think you should be able to just take the regular kernel headers and symlink them as the mesa kernel ones and then you can compile things against it, like virtualbox drivers. I'll try it in a few hours and report here.

lgomes · 2010-12-26 14:43:28

Skyalmian,

I don't sure but, i think that is mesa-full PKGBUILD of Perry3D build with this:

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr \
--with-dri-drivers=swrast,radeon,r200,r300,r600 \
--with-dri-driverdir=/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri \
--enable-glx-tls \
--with-driver=dri \
--enable-xcb \
--enable-egl \
--enable-glu \
--enable-glut \
--enable-glw \
--disable-gallium \
--disable-gallium-radeon \
--disable-gallium-r600 || return 1

This is for the older builds(only egl), with i have download the PKGBUILD. Only Perry3D is able to reply this. I don't find the sources packages to investigate this.

For those with problems with kernel headers, i suggest to use another kernel. I build my own kernel(2.6.37-rc7-git) to fix this issue with virtualbox and kernel headers.

Perry3D if you can post url to package sources ???

I don't a kernel expert or a good shell script, but maybe i put in your PKGBUILD a option to build the kernel headers.

Sorry my english.

ChemBro · 2010-12-29 22:13:18

I can't install libdrm-git. It says, that there is a missing dependency, or something like that (libpthread-stubs is missing in the repos). But it looks like it works without libdrm-git (I have libdrm 2.4.23 installed from testing).

Perry3D · 2010-12-29 22:29:41

Hi,
i enabled EGL/GLES with the last updates a few days ago. Give me some feedback if it works now.

@Cdh: i will fix this if i have some time.

@Chembro: Oh, i find a patch that removes the dependency. I will apply it to the next update.

Oh no the latest update of today breaks my blur effect, again... What did you change in those packages? And is their a way to fix this problem? Thanks

Perry3D · 2010-12-31 13:58:22

I removed the pthread dependency from libdrm-git (i just use the package from AUR now) and i moved the location of the lib32-packages to /usr/lib32.
You can find the exactly changes here: http://gitorious.org/radeon/radeon/comm … 7d39dbd029
If you want to download the whole PKGBUILDs and the build script: http://gitorious.org/radeon/

Maybe there is something wrong with your LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH variable.
Can you show me the output of

echo $LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH

Or it is just an upstream bug.

splashy · 2010-12-31 14:13:58

I obtain with echo $LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH

:/usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri/:/usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri/

thanks

Can anyone reproduce this bug?
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32768

I'm hoping it's related to my specific hardware and not a regression in all drivers.

princeamd · 2011-01-10 06:12:47

i am getting weird artifacts with kernel 2.6.37 with kms on hd3200 mobile

orlox · 2011-01-11 04:01:37

Followed the instructions, and everything is working better than before. Only one problem, I cant build the drivers for my broadcom wireless . Tried the aur package broadcom-wl, but it doesn't build. Do I need header files for this kernel?

EDIT: found a solution, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 42#p858842

Hmm..at the moment i am not able to compile mesa. There are some undefined references to talloc.
Anyone else with this problem?

lgomes · 2011-01-14 00:18:28

For me i compiled successfully mesa-full now with your pkgbuild of gitorious.

And

I trying to change your PKGBUILD of kernel-drm to fix issues with virtualbox.
I have compiled the kernel and the kernel headers, need i test he.

Sorry my english.
