Ati Radeon 7500 & 3d acceleration with kernel 2.6.x ?

[renihs]

hi
i know there are tons of postings around ati drivers but none of them worked for me. i have a ibm t41 thinkpad, everything works except 3d accelleration (ati radeon 7500). i use kernel 2.6.x which is the main problem i guess (i cant emerge xfree-drm); i have drm support compiled in kernel. i always get the error "DRI extension missing on display 0:0", (i load the module in my XF86config). if anyone who has a radeon 7500 mobility and kernel 2.6.x could offer me some hints on what to do i would be very very happy .
i ll happily add snips of my my error logs or from my config files if needed.
glxgears shows around ~500 fps

Just this past week, I had to do an install on a Sony VAIO, with a Radeon 9200. Considering that the 9200 and the 7500 are RADICALLY different beasts, I did something that, though seemingly innocuous at the time, proved to fix my problem.

You mentioned that you had the ATI drivers compiled into the kernel. My problem was solved by compiling the drivers as modules instead. If you have media-gfx/ati-drivers merged (provides the OpenGL drivers for the radeon module, follow the instructions provided by the ati-drivers merge on using their config program instead of xf86config, the name of which escaped me at this moment) and DRI enabled in X, then X will automatically try to load the radeon driver when it starts. As such, you shouldn't have to include the radeon module in your modules-autoload file.

Once you're in, run glxinfo and the second line or so should tell you whether or not DRI is active.

hi,
sorry for my late response, i had a couple of exams to take and bla,..

yes i tried all those howtos but i think my problem is elsewhere. meanwhile i tried with kernel 2.4.22-r7, .20-gaming kernel, 2.6.2 to 2.6.4 (currently using). i tried all possible combination (on 2.4 with xfree-drm, without, with dri kernel modules and without etc). same on 2.6.x, here is my log on the crash (2.6.4), if i set dri AND glx at the same time in the config. (using either one but not the other does work),

To me this log looks fine, except the last lines...
:(

thx in advance,

I have radeon mobility 7500 and the 3d acceleration works with the modules in linux 2.6. I compiled the agpart support with Intel/blah... option. Then I selected drm in the kernel and I chose ati radeon. After the first bootup, I did opengl-update then viola! It started working.

HTH

[klarnox]

[renihs]

hehe you missunderstand me, X crashes if i enable dri & glx...
i didnt forget opengl-update
today i tried 2.6.4 with dri and without (kernel builtin) and of course agp with my chipset and with radeon and without etc
however my problem is X cant startup (as showed in log) with glx & dri

thx in advance

[klarnox]

Could you post the relevant portions of your XF86Config?

Here are the relevant settings on my system with a Radeon 7500 Mobility...

Using a 2.6.X kernel you don't need to emerge xfree-drm, it won't work (in fact I would remove it if it's already installed).

In the kernel make sure you have selected:
<*>/dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
<*> Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8XX (or whatever your chipset is)
<*>Direct Rendering Manager
<*>ATI Radeon

In XF86Config:

Section "Module"
Load "dri"
Load "glx"

Section "Device"
Identifier "Mobility 7500"
Driver "radeon"
Option "AGPMode" "4"
Option "Accel"
Option "AGPFastWrite" "yes"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "yes"
Option "DDCMode" "yes"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Then after reboot do opengl-update xfree

After that glx and dri should work (and X shouldn't crash). If not you may want to try recompiling xfree. I'm running xfree version 4.3.99.902-r2 which works quite well for me.

Hopefully this will help.

[renihs]

hi!
I tried drm with 2.4.x some time ago but unmerged it, anyhow I think I still have some x-related drm stuff I think, dunno. Maybe this is also causing problems ?
I wouldnt mind to completely recompile x. at the moment I also use 4.3.99.902-r2, but i think it didnt compile but use binaries when i emerged, cant remember

currently my device section looks like: (will try your settings)

Section "Device"
Identifier "device1"
Driver "radeon"
VendorName "ATI"
BoardName "ATI Radeon"
Option "DPMS"
Option "AGPMode" "2"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "True"
Option "EnableDepthMoves" "True"
EndSection

I have agpart compiled in with intel 440lx/bx/gx... (in kernel)
dri with ati radeon (in kernel)

it does say on startup [drm] radeon 7500 bla bla initialised (kernel msg)

if I would like to cleanup xfree and recompile should I unmerge it first and then emerge again or simply emerge it again or downgrade or?...

thx already

[klarnox]

Your XF86Config settings look fine. Most of the stuff I have there just improves performance, but I figured I should list it for completeness.

Personally I would remove xfree completely (to make sure there's no garbage screwing things up). Then I would emerge xfree and hopefully the fresh install will straighten things out for you.

[renihs]

hi!
thx for your fast response!
if I emerge unmerge xfree- that should remove it competely and leave nothing behind?
I ll try that, hmm can I emerge the .99 xfree with compiling? (I think I passed the ebuild directly the last time I emerged xfree..99, not sure if it did compile anything (very fast install .

thx again already

[klarnox]

I think you'll need to comment out the line in package.mask that refers to xfree 4.3.99 before you'll be able to install it, but once you've done that you should be able to do

[renihs]

i finished recompiling, did run opengl-update and updated my xf86config with your settings, but exactly the same crash/log as already posted above.
i have no glue of what i could/should try next...

btw, after i unmerged xfree, for example the directory /usr/X11R6/ ... remained (?), shouldnt that be removed? i dont know if i still have some artefacts left in the system
(for example: error libdrm.a is unresolved remains...)

[klarnox]

I thought all that stuff should be removed, but maybe not.

I'm not sure what to suggest at this point. I can't think of anything else to do to fix this. X works if you don't enable glx and dri, right?

[andyknownasabu]

[klarnox]

andyknownasabu, I'm curious, have you tried compiling the AGP and DRI options into the kernel rather than as modules? I noticed a performance improvement when compiled in (small improvement).

[andyknownasabu]

[klarnox]

I'm not the one having the problem, but I'm out of ideas. Maybe your posting will help renihs out.

[andyknownasabu]

[klarnox]

Try

[renihs]

hi
i tried all your kernel settings (i had the same but compile in, not as module)
CONFIG_AGP=m
CONFIG_AGP_ATI=m
CONFIG_DRM=y
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m
CONFIG_FB_RADEON=m
CONFIG_FB_RADEON_I2C=y

but X keeps crashing, radeon module is loaded and i did run openg-update xfree, however no sucess . i think i ll have to wait but i am afraid that considering how hold this cards already is hmmm

[andyknownasabu]

[renihs]

hmm
yes i recompiled X 3x so far (but i think i will unmerge it again, delete ALL /usr/X11/ and other stuff and emerge once more...)
in all my X recompilings i never got rid of this error.
since i am new to gentoo... am i doing something wrong with emerge unmerge xfree ? (because i think it doesnt delete libraries etc)
or should i just unmerge and delete manually? and then remerge again

hmm i think i dont have a /dev/dri (which maybe only exists if i start X successfully?)
/dev ist there ofc
i always started X as root

thx already
