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

I set both variables, and glxgears/glxinfo respects this and renders ~1900fps.
But ioquake3 doesnt, I can see that after launch of "demo four" the framerate jumps to ~140fps for some seconds, drops to 60fps, jumpgs to ~140fps and drops to 60fps and stays there.
I got 64fps as final result from "demo four", not 60fps, not 140 fps (my regular result)

[peter@cupcake ~]$ echo $vblank_mode
0
[peter@cupcake ~]$ echo $CLUTTER_VBLANK
none
[peter@cupcake ~]$ glxinfo | grep -i opengl

Looks right. But framerate in IOQuake3 jumps from ~140 to ~60 an stays there

Did you set the variable before clutter starts?
For example in /etc/profile/radeon.sh .

hoschi · 2011-04-09 16:10:10

Exactly.

hoschi · 2011-04-09 19:09:46

Fascinating:
1. $ quake3 #it is ioquake3
2. ~ # open quake-console
3. timedemo 1
4. demo four

cg_drawfps shows me for the first seconds ~ 140 fps, drops to ~60fps, rise again to 140fps (for ~two seconds) and then stays at 60fps for the complete run of the demo

But the demo itself fels like "playing very fast", like usually. Is it possible that quake3 itself show the wrong fps? I see only 60 fps in the top right corner, and the console tells me the demo was played with average of 64fps. But the requiered time for playing feels like ~140 fps.

Bug? And where? I have this issue since the upgrade to Gnome 3.

Hi there!

Just a quick note: xserver 1.10 is already in extra, and todays update was still compiled for 1.9, so X doesn't start. Solution right now is to either downgrade again, or rebuild. Anyway, it would be great if you could please rebuild for xserver 1.10 support. Thanks!

And really lots of thanks for this repo!

@txus: Oh, i'm sorry. I always do an update before i build the packages. But maybe my mirror was not up to date. I hope i can do an update this evening.

@Cdh: I copied the config from the current kernel in the testing repo. Are you still receiving these warnings?

Perry3D · 2011-04-12 19:21:21

Ok, i switched my mirror, updated the repo and now the packages are compiled against xorg-server 1.10.0.902-1.

BigLouis87 · 2011-04-12 22:36:28

I've just updated my system, but radeon drivers keep on crashing... now I'm under vesa :-/
please Perry can you check again your packages? thanks

txus · 2011-04-12 22:48:45

@Perry3D: Big thanks, works like a charm

@BigLouis87: relevant things in dmesg and Xorg log?

you can see the file "radeon_drv.so" is compiled for xorg 1.9
I think it must be recompiled...

This is not a solution, this is "erasing problem from the root"
But if this problem persist, I have to come back to stock drivers... now I think bleeding edge radeon has no real advantages ever. Power management has been inserted in stock a lot of time ago...

txus · 2011-04-13 16:39:52

@BigLouis87: Maybe Perry3D didn't update the i686 repo, it works fine in x86_64. Don't give up, inform him and wait a bit

hoschi · 2011-04-14 10:32:23

@zapzap: Switch of VSYNC
$ export vblank_mode=0
$opearena

If this helps, put it in /etc/profile.d/radeon.sh (description see first post of thread)
If you use Gnome3 this maybe helps
$ export CLUTTER_VBLANK=0

zapzap · 2011-04-14 10:54:13

@hoschi: no, nothing happend
Also i have a problem when KMS enabled. When it's active and my second monitor is coneted to VGA, i got some flickering on second monitor. I think its some kernel bug..

mdias · 2011-04-14 10:54:42

Hi Perry3D, can you please update the mesa gallium package again?
Latest GIT has fixes needed to make Trine (from the latest Humble Indie Bundle) work (exposes ATI_draw_buffers).

It'd be much appreciated.

And thank you for your service which has been great so far.

Hallo!

I've just switched from fglrx to xf86-video-ati to power my evergreen card. (HD 5770).

If power_method is dynpm the card does not seem to downclock completely and I have my fan running faster then with fglrx all the time. (even with completely idle desktop) When using power_method = profile and power_profile = low the fan is spinnig more slowly but I have performance aches.

Is there any way to deal with that?

Not really at the moment. Follow this bug

IOQuake3 now jumps more often about 60fps to the normal usual framerate around 110fps, average is now ~74fps

With the newest ati-dri from testing I got several crashes with glxgear or ioquake3

Bad: OpenGL doesn't work "currently" reliable
Good: It doesn't crash the kernel&userland

Downgrade to ati-dri-7.10.2-2 and libgl-7.10.2 fixed the random crashes. But framerate is still limited in some wired why to 60fps in IOQuake3.

So im trying to get opengl working at a reasonable rate. I've gone through the packages Perry3d put up and installed them all. But I still don't have direct rendering. I think it is becuase it cant find the driver located in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri. And then it tries to load the 32 bit variant.
This is fixed by "export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri:/usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri". And last but not least, thansk to Perry3D who put up the instructions and repo for us.

Hi.

It seems that with xf86-video-ati from extra I have not properly worked vsunc. Video (vlc, mplayer either -vo vx or gl), windows moving... even glxgears with turned on vsync display screen tearing. vblank_mode is default.
And 3D is very slow (f. e. "vblank_mode=0 glxgears" about 600 fps in window/57 fps in full screen, without changing vblank_mode - about 60 fps, but it's ok)

About two or three months ago with oss driver all was perfect - video without tearing in both monitors, windows moving, etc. but I swiched to catalyst because of 3D. Now I get back to oss driver, but can't get normal tear free screen.

I am in kind of stupid situation. Google Earth is incredibly slow with open source drivers. Catalyst newer than 9.3 do not support my card (X1950XT) and the older ones on the other hand do not work with xserver newer than 1.6. So what now? Reboot to 7?
