reboot the system and wait till it boots up, then run glxinfo and glxgears.

thanks for collecting and posting those ebuilds here, DaggyStyle !

any experiences how well compiz is working already with these drivers ?

by now, you will need to install xorg-server-1.6 to be able to compile mesa.
And I finally got to compile xf86-video-ati: by disabling kms. According to some ebuilds you will need xorg-server 1.7 to enable kms - as it is not yet released you will need to compile it from git.
In my current setup, the driver is not much faster than software rendering, if it is at all. The Kwin desktop effects are still slow and not really comfortable to use.

But the driver has increased Performance for 3D games! Counter-Strike runs now better and Warcraft III is almost playable... Not actually great speed, but still an improvement.

If you have the X11 overlay, here is a patch to update the ebuilds you need.

Since the X11 overlay is just a git repository, you can apply the patch using git apply. Make sure to commit it, so future layman syncs don't mess things up.

You'll still need to redigest them and everything.

I've installed the xorg overlay and updated all the drm/dri packages, which made DRI work but OpenGL programs were giving this error:

I hope this works too with my HD 4870, I'm tired of fglrx crap.

kernelOfTruth: how many fps you get in glxgears? just for curiosity

with the latest git-sources you can use kernel DRM and uninstal x11-drm.

no need for unnecessary voodoo steps:

and unpack, un-keyword and emerge the following ebuilds:

Hrm...

Strange, I get errors when compiling x11-drm, seems like it's trying to compile the mach driver or something silly like that. I've had to edit all the cards other than radeon from the ebuild, that fixed it. Don't know what went wrong.

also, the git update is taking a really long time. Is that normal?

pingufunkybeat · l33t Joined: 01 Dec 2004 Posts: 610

The video cards are fine in make.conf. For some reason, the ebuild for x11-drm was trying to build mach drivers, and this failed. After I edited the ebuild to only build the radeon stuff, it worked. Not very elegant, but it works for now and it beats installing by hand.

Now I seem to have EXA/XRender, but no Xvideo, which is strange.

Working on the rest of the packages now... It would really help if the git fetch weren't stalling.
