 Posted: Tue Jun 29, 2010 1:25 pm Post subject: Enabling gallium3d in my Ati |
 |
|
Hello there. I was curious about the state of the gallium3d radeon drivers. So i decided to config it.
This is my card:
| Code: | | 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon HD 3200 Graphics |
With the kernel 2.6.34, with this entry in grub.cfg:
| Code: | menuentry "Gentoo GNU/Linux 2.6.34" {
set root=(hd0,2)
linux /kernel-2.6.34-gentoo root=/dev/sda7 radeon.modeset=1
} |
And configured like that:
| Code: | Device Drivers --->
Graphics support --->
<*> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support) --->
-*- VGA Arbitration
(16) Maximum number of GPUs
[ ] Laptop Hybrid Grapics - GPU switching support
<*> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) --->
< > 3dfx Banshee/Voodoo3+
< > ATI Rage 128
<*> ATI Radeon
[*] Enable modesetting on radeon by default - NEW DRIVER
<*> Lowlevel video output switch controls
-*- Support for frame buffer devices --->
[*] Enable firmware EDID
[ ] Framebuffer foreign endianness support --->
[*] Enable Video Mode Handling Helpers
[*] Enable Tile Blitting Support
*** Frame buffer hardware drivers ***
< > Cirrus Logic support
< > Permedia2 support
< > CyberPro 2000/2010/5000 support
< > Arc Monochrome LCD board support
[ ] Asiliant (Chips) 69000 display support

I moved into mesa-9999, libdrm-9999 and xf86-video-radeon-9999, with these use flags:

I configured X like that:

Make sure opengl isn't linked to my nvidia libraries:
| Code: | # eselect opengl list
Available OpenGL implementations:
[1] nvidia
[2] xorg-x11 * |
And the gallium3d drivers are enabled:
| Code: | # eselect mesa list
i915 (Intel 915, 945)
i965 (Intel 965, G/Q3x, G/Q4x)
r300 (Radeon R300-R500)
gallium
r600 (Radeon R600-R700)
classic
gallium *
sw (Software renderer)
classic
gallium * |
(Yeah, I enabled gallium in the soft render but doesn't really works. And that's another story  )
But still I have soft renderer:
| Code: | $ glxinfo | grep Open
OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.9-devel
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
OpenGL extensions: |
Any help with this? thanks in advance. |

r600 gallium is not very useful at this time.
Why only software rendering is enabled, you might find out by looking at dmesg or Xorg.0.log . |

1) Are you sure you want to do this? The driver does not work.
2) I think that you need to patch Mesa to have the drivers actually use the hardware instead of llvmpipe. If you actually do this, it will likely crash as soon as you try using it.
The r600g driver was merged just to get it into a public repository, the devs are warning people not to use it, even as extreme sport pre-alpha test drive. |

Hello there.
Since I heard r600 now has some capabilities, I tried to do what I specified in the first post again, but for some reason Xorg fallbacks to soft renderer.
Here is my Xorg.log:

Any help with this please? |

It appears that something is wrong with drm in kernel. But before seeing dmesg I can only speculate. (Post here, not pastebin) | Code: | [ 3871.950] (WW) RADEON(0): Option "UseEDIDFreqs" is not used
[ 3871.950] (WW) RADEON(0): Option "DPI" is not used |
Furthermore it seems that you have old cruft in xorg.conf which sometimes causes trouble. Rename or remove your xorg.conf, it is not necessary any more. |
