 |
|
Hi Everybody,
Over 2 weeks I am trying to get DRM for my savage (ProSavage KM133) chipset working, without any results. The 3D Acceleration guide says I should use xorg-x11-6.8.2, but when I use this, I seems to have the wrong savage_drv.o (or .so or something) in /usr/lib/modules/drivers, which not yet support DRI (it does not try to load the /usr/lib/modules/dri/savage_dri.o file)
I tried to install the binary snapshots from dri.freedesktop.org but I get an error because the X Server version is to low to support this driver.
I tried to install Xorg Server 6.8.99.something (first the binarysnapshot from the same site, later the source from cvs), DRI is working.. but the whole screen gets messed up...
I did download Mesa, DRM and Xorg via cvs, compiled everything but with the same result, it's working, but you really *can't* work with it.
Soo the 3D acceleration guide is right about the broken savage support in Xorg 6.8.99.X but it's also NOT working on 6.8.2 (since savage dri as not supported at all)
About this last thing (from Xorg.0.log:)
(**) SAVAGE(0): Option "accel" "1"
(**) SAVAGE(0): Option "HWCursor" "1"
(**) SAVAGE(0): Option "UseBIOS" "1"
(**) SAVAGE(0): Option: NoAccel - Acceleration Disabled
(**) SAVAGE(0): Using HW cursor
(**) SAVAGE(0): Using video BIOS to set modes
This line:
(**) SAVAGE(0): Option: NoAccel - Acceleration Disabled
Has nothing to do with the configuration file, but seems to be normal for the savage driver of Xorg 6.8.2 (found on internet)
Can someone give a solution... or I get mad! |

I've just installed the latest experimental monolithic build and it gives excellent dri performance out of the box. Make sure you install the latest ~x86 version of x11-drm too.

did you follow that howto and worked for you?? i thought i had read somewhre in the forums. that savage support was broken for that xorg release. Could you please post your xorg.conf? how many fps do you get in glxgears and please tell me if you can play tuxracer. It would be nice too, if you could post your lspci output for vga.

6.9 is working fine for me. I get about 450 fps in glxgears and can play tuxracer, torcs, ultimatestunts and flightgear. This is my xorg.conf:
