catalyst 2.6.37 lag

eduedix · 2011-02-08 09:05:49

Hi,
I installed archlinux on my game pc. But there is a problem with the graphics. I got hd4770, so i installed catalyst-hook driver. Well fglrx is in lsmod, so drivers are loaded already.

When i try to run enemy-territory, well in menus there is no problem at all. But in the match there is a biig lag independent of the server i am playing on. this is the same with americas-army armyops game.

I do not know what logs you need, so please let me know whatever you want. Waiting for your help.

Have a nice day,
eduedix

By the way, i had no problem in my Ubuntu system, although i think it has a different kernel but the same gfx driver.

Have you tried disabling vsync in amdcccle?

eduedix · 2011-02-08 09:59:05

When i try to run it :

erdem ~ $ amdcccle
Parse error on line 2 of section ServerLayout in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
"Identifier" is not a valid keyword in this section.

Somehow got amdcccle working, took the vsync option to "quality" which is 0 vsync. but there is still no difference.

Hm... your xorg.conf seems to be strange.

I personally would exit X, delete the complete /etc/ati (delete it in X and the current config gets rewritten when exiting X), reinstall catalyst, delete the xorg.conf and create a new one with aticonfig --initial.
New versions of catalyst often have problems with old configs...

tried what you told me, but it is still the same. i also think something is wrong with xorg.conf but it really is what aticonfig --initial creates.

here is my xorg.conf:

vsync is also disabled in the games.

I also have issues with catalyst 11.1 with 2.6.37 kernel, x86_64
I have an AGP 3850

When I move a window, xorg uses 100% cpu, it runs better with compiz...
OpenGL apps like games still works with just a little loss of performance.

So, before there is a solution, I reverted to catalyst 10.12 & kernel 2.6.36, and it runs like before, everything is fluid

edit : in fact no, watching a movie in vlc is horrible, it takes a minute before ctrl-q respond...
:-(

And this is where my problem was. I was switching from KWin to compiz, enabling/disabling every check box, and here's the solution.
Went to a 2.6.36, and 10.12, and CPU is finally normal!

So... If I'm following this correctly, the people thus far who have noticed a performance problem with fglrx have resolved it by moving away from the new .37 kernel?

Does anyone have any idea what specific patch in .37 might be causing this behaviour?
