I've been waiting for this stuff for a very long time. One feature that I particularly need is zaphod mode. I tried the open drivers a good while back and it worked but there was no 2D acceleration in this mode, nevermind 3D. I gave the stuff a shot today using 2.6.32-rc3 and the git versions of mesa, libdrm and xf86-video-ati. KMS was causing my system to lock up all over the place so I disabled that. That was before I even made it into X. X did work on a single screen and I even had Neverball and Quake 3 running perfectly but zaphod mode just caused another lock up. I'm so close, it's really frustrating! I know it's supposed to work because one of the most recent commits to xf86-video-ati simply says "radeon: fix zaphod".
Update: Hmm just digged up an old Phoronix thread. I'd forgotten that John Bridgman told me that zaphod mode would need KMS in order for DRI to work. Maybe I'll give it another shot in a few days. |

Hi guys,
I have a hd4850 card. I'm having a little trouble replicating success of this thread and other similar threads - seems the ebuilds listed on the first page are not enough for me (amd64), and I had to add the x11 overlay in its entireity. Also, lots of entries in package.keywords and package.unmask, respectively:
| Code: |

Once I got the .31 kernel installed, I enabled KMS. I've yet to reboot the system or to load a new instance of X, as I'm unsure if what I've done so far will yield any results.
Can someone offer any pointers, or words of reassurance?
Cheers

I upgraded to 2.6.32-rc3 without KMS and it worked fine. Enabling KMS has not worked. 
DRI2 initializes OK:
| Code: | (II) RADEON(0): [DRI2] Setup complete
(II) RADEON(0): Front buffer size: 8400K
(II) RADEON(0): Remaining VRAM size (used for pixmaps): 249616K
(==) RADEON(0): Backing store disabled
(II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering enabled
(II) RADEON(0): Setting EXA maxPitchBytes
|
Tangential question: Is it correct that the Remaining VRAM size is ~256M given that my total VRAM is 1G?
Back to the main story, later on I get this:
| Code: | (EE) AIGLX error: Calling driver entry point failed
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
(II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable
|
Any clues? Thanks.
Edit: I should note that I'm using xorg-server-1.7.0. |

Zaphod mode is slightly different from conventional "big desktops". Each screen is treated as an independent display, such as :0.0 and :0.1. You can start programs on one or the other and they change resolution independently. You can't (or at least you couldn't before) drag windows between the two screens. This suits me better as I sometimes have MythTV or a game running on the second screen while my desktop is still available on the first. |

It is not only that the header was renamed. Many lines got removed, there are no more structs defined in xf86vm.h. Like XF86VidModeModeLine. And all Function-declarations are missing too.
Just try symlinking xf86vm.h to xh86vmode.h. It will fail again.
I don't know exactly, if those deletions got into another header, but if so why it is not installed? Are all those deleted inforamtions not needed anymore? |

Hrm.
I'm still using the ebuilds from this thread, except I manually changed them to track the master branch of everything.
I didn't upgrade anything else (at least nothing major, and I'm running stable). I'm still on X 1.6.3, and things are working fine.
The X overlay is more convenient as you don't have to edit/manifest ebuilds by hand, but the downside is that they pull lots of other masked packages. I think that the X overlay makes more sense for people running ~arch. |

I'm running ~arch. I added the X11 overlay but removed it from my layman/make.conf so that it's not always present. I added mesa, libdrm and xf86-video-ati to my package.unmask and emerged them like this.
| Code: | | PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage/layman/x11 emerge --nodeps mesa libdrm xf86-video-ati |
I used --nodeps because xf86-video-ati wanted xorg-server 1.7 even though it's not really required. It did work for me with 1.6.4. Despite the problems I had with zaphod mode, it worked well on a single screen. |

| Well, I disabled the RDEPEND on xorg-server-1.7.0 in xf86-video-ati, downgraded everything back to 1.6.3 and now KMS/DRI2 works (and Mesa compiles). Cheerio! |

| I have encountered a serious problem with KMS/DRI2: when I resume from suspend, the display is stretched horizontally as though it is going across another screen to the right, and it's blurry and swimming about like a psychedelic trip. Needless to say, I have added "nomodeset" to my kernel line for now. |

The header has moved to a different package. If you have upgraded to xf86vidmodeproto-2.3, then unmask/emerge =x11-libs/libXxf86vm-1.1.0 and mesa-9999 will compile again (as well as other things such as nexuiz-2.5.2). |

mesa fails econf here on libdrm being to old, it says I have version 2.4.3 but I 'm using the svn version...

I assume you mean git, otherwise I'm not surprised it's too old.  |

Yeah, I just had to emerge mine again to update the git repo, then it was fine. |

yeah, git, after asking in #radeonhd I was told that the drm in agd5f is unmaintained and advised to try the master, so I did, no problem after that I can't seem to see any difference in performance.

libdrm 2.4.14 can do KMS on r600 as well if you have linux 2.6.32. |

Gave it another try using linux-next this time and had better luck. KMS is working nicely. I think the real problem was that I didn't realise you had to disable all framebuffer drivers. Oops.  Might seem obvious but no one mentioned it! Still having trouble with my dual head configuration though. |

Does DRI work if you disable KMS? |
This is the X log for the case without xorg.conf file:
Xorg.0.log
DRI works with KMS disabled. Here is log file in KMS disabled mode:
Xorg.0.log
------------------
Heeee-ha! I have updated xorg to 1.6.4 and live libdrm and xf86-video-ati. Now I have DRI2 with radeon (not radeonhd) driver! It's really cool. All kwin4 effects works good, I can play video and run GL windows. Performance still bad: World Of Goo works fine with fglrx, but I see about 2 fps with opensource driver at levels with much goo-balls. Does anybody knows how I can tune performance? |

OK, I've read this thread over a few times and from what I can tell, this is the way to get the experimental KMS/DRI2 support for r600/r700 up and running:
1) Get the kernel sources as Kingoftherings recommends (using the ebuild he posted).
2) emerge libdrm-9999 from the x11 overlay.
3) emerge mesa-9999 from the x11 overlay.
4) emerge xf86-video-ati from the x11 overlay.
Unfortunately, I can't get past the first step: When I get the kernel sources that are supposed to have KMS/DRI2 support, it isn't there!
This is the ebuild file I use to get the kernel sources:
| Code: | # Copyright 1999-2009 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/sys-kernel/vanilla-sources/vanilla-sources-2.6.31.5.ebuild,v 1.1 2009/10/23 06:28:42 bangert Exp $
K_NOUSENAME="yes"
K_NOSETEXTRAVERSION="yes"
K_SECURITY_UNSUPPORTED="1"
ETYPE="sources"
inherit kernel-2
inherit git
detect_version
DESCRIPTION="Dave Airlie's Direct Rendering Manager kernel sources"
HOMEPAGE="http://www.kernel.org"
EGIT_BRANCH="drm-next"
EGIT_REPO_URI="git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/airlied/drm-2.6.git"
KEYWORDS="~alpha ~amd64 ~arm ~hppa ~ia64 ~ppc ~ppc64 ~sh ~sparc ~x86"
IUSE=""
|
When I go into "make menuconfig" I can set the direct rendering option for Radeon, but the modesetting option under the staging drivers menu is nowhere to be seen!
Also, the menuconfig is saying the sources version is 2.6.29-rc2. I thought this was supposed to be a version of the 2.6.31.5 modified to include the KMS/DRI2 from 2.6.31.x. Has the menuconfig just not been updated with the correct version string? Or is this a clue to why KMS is missing from these kernel sources?
Has the KMS/DRI2 support been moved into some other repository/branch?
Thanks!

Should be there! Here's the dependencies for that option.
STAGING [=y] && !STAGING_EXCLUDE_BUILD [=n] && DRM_RADEON [=y]
So you just need staging enabled and Radeon DRM enabled really. I use linux-next but drm-next is still okay, I think. I keep an eye on both branches. |

No dice. I've already got those settings set that way, but modesetting refuses to show its face.
To double-check, I just now grep'ed .config for RADEON, here's what I got:
| Code: | Mon Nov 02 04:23:44 -- root
/usr/src/linux-2.6.31.5
>grep RADEON .config
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=y |
(above, everything before the > is just my prompt)

| Actually the version you should be seeing is 2.6.31-rc9, according to the latest from drm-next. The latest from drm-2.6, however, is 2.6.29-rc2. You have EGIT_BRANCH set correctly though so I don't know what the deal is there. I'm just using git directly instead of messing with ebuilds for this. If it's easier for you and you don't mind the rest of your kernel being bleeding edge, just use the latest rc from vanilla-sources or git-sources. 2.6.32 will probably be released pretty soon anyway. |
