ATI Catalyst 10.5 + Xserver 1.8.1 :)

[DestroyFX]

EDIT : This thread support ati-drivers 10.5 with xorg-server-1.8.1 starting by this post : https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6298939.html#6298939

I have made ebuild for:
-Catalyst 10.3 (named ati-drivers-10.3-r1) : Catalyst 10.3 with OpenGL 3.3 (HD2xxx+) and OpenGL 4.0 (HD5xxx)
-Catalyst 10.4 Ubuntu-leaked (named ati-drivers-10.4) : I use them with kernel 2.6.34-rc2 & X7.5 (Xserver 1.7.6), OpenGL 3.2

They are available on gentoo-quebec overlay

ati-drivers-10.3 have a watermark on the corner of each screen that say : "AMD Test use only".
You can disable it by pasting that in a root terminal :

[asturm]

Also comes with OpenGL 3.3/4.0 support

[DestroyFX]

Yeah, the Catalyst 10.3 "hotfix" as AMD name them support opengl 3.3 and 4.0.

Catalyst 10.4 don't support them but I will not be surprised if it will be supported soon.

Good work Mathieu

KernelOfTruth, can you give me the complete output?

It work, on my side:

[kernelOfTruth]

ah, I must have overread it

I haven't added gentoo-quebec overlay yet & used my own ebuild

thanks DestroyFX !


I'll try to emerge it later ...

Can anyone tell me if agpgart support is needed in kernel config? I have 3850 pcie card.
Kernel 2.6.33 gentoo sources with reiser4 and bfs patches. Everytime when i emerge ati-drivers and try to run Xorg -configure i get segfault. When xf86-video-ati is installed then Xorg -configure works fine.

[phoen1x]

DestroyFX could you please post your 2.6.34 kernel config? And which mesa version do you use?

[DestroyFX]

Kernel config : http://pastebin.com/tSNSPUXm
Mesa : 7.8_rc2

[phoen1x]

DestroyFX please post your emerge --info, and xorg.conf.
Dunno whats causing my problem, but i am trying to install fglrx 2 days already and i always fail. X -configure segfaults when i emerge ati-drivers 10.4. I 've tried to downgrade xorg-server to 1.6.5 and emerge ati-drivers 10.2 10.3 and still same problem. When i set fglrx driver in xorg.con i just get blank screen and nothing happens i also tried manual instalion using run package still no success. This fglrx problem is pissing me off

[phoen1x]

I know that ati-drivers 10.4 aka flgrx 8.721 needs > xorg-server 1.7. Even if i mask all xorg 7.5 packages and install old xorg-server 1.6.5 and compatible drivers it still segfaults, must be something with my configuration. Btw please post your xorg.conf. Well for now i emerged radeonhd and enabled dri in kernel so atleast i can play quakelive now.

One more question for you DestroyFX
Do you have sys-libs/libstdc++-v3 installed?

[DestroyFX]

libstdc++-v3 is not installed.

[kernelOfTruth]

DestroyFX and everyone else using this 10.4 driver:

does compositing (kwin w. composited desktop or compiz-fusion) work for you ?

how did you get it working ?


for me glxinfo, fglrxinfo, compiz, kwin with compositing simply segfault

and show the following error:

[hedmo]

Kerneloftruth i am using 10.4 with compiz-fusion-8.6 and it works super
the only error i got is reflections plugin goes white frame

have you ati OpenGL,nice glxgears and à good xorg.conf.post this for me

Xorg.0.log

glxgears

type compiz-manager i à terminal and post output



i have tryed with radeon,radeonhd,xorg-1.8= faild (bad glxgears 600fps)

[kernelOfTruth]

[hedmo]

Mybox=

ati-drivers-10.4

xorg-server-1.7.6

gcc-4.3

KDE-4.2.? via overlay

GPU-card=radeon hd 3200xt

i belive this is what you want.

Kerneloftruth i post My xorg.conf at 17:00 today
load your glx module in your xorg.conf an hit glxgears
i found some but in My fglrx. i cant config My cataly...
i have to make it manually in My xorg.conf

[phoen1x]

I'm still trying to get fglrx working... I have reinstalled gentoo, now i use stable branch, but still everytime i get blank screen. Maybe its because driver cannot detect monitor or smth? I mean aticonfig --query-monitor shows no monitors connected and no monitors enabled. Now when i use fglrx in xorg.conf i get just blank screen and have to use alt+sysrq+reisub but after reboot Xorg.0.log is empty, but i remember there was last line in log
fglrx using adapter and that was all. Any ideas what to do?

[hedmo]

Phoen1x type Xorg -configure and post Xorg.0.log

what xorg do you use?

[phoen1x]

I posted in desktop environments section now since i am using stable ati-drivers.
