Arch Linux install latest xserver,mesa,ati

[Execute_Method]

I have moved to Arch from Ubuntu, and I am unsure of the process to get everything installed. I am going to try this later today (when I get home from work). I am posting now, so if anyone has any pointers for me I might have a fighting chance when I do.

I am aware that the easy-drm-modules-installer is made for Ubuntu, so I'm not sure how to get the right modules installed.

What about mesa?

As well, would I (make install) the xserver updates(from the orig. tarballs) from the edgers repo, or use packagebuild (or something else)?

I am running 2.6.25 kernel, w/ rv535 ati.

Thank You in advance. :)

Use PKGBUILDS for drm, mesa, and Xorg drivers. Unfortunately, I have been unable to locate a PKGBUILD for the Xserver 1.4.99 series, or to build it from git. I'm attempting to modify an older one to build the new Xserver, but I've still got some problems to iron out.

[Execute_Method]

can you please elaborate on this process for me. where do I get the source & package builds from? I looked in ABS, and didn't see anything.

Your help is appreciated!;)

[Execute_Method]

I got drm and ati loaded, I still can't find a package build that'll work with mesa 7.1 or the x-server. Any Ideas?

BTW I get this in my Xorg.0.log:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep EE
Current Operating System: Linux ephraim 2.6.25-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jul 14 15:25:51 UTC 2008 i686
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
(EE) AIGLX error: Calling driver entry point failed(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering



Is this because of the mesa library being 7.0.3, or is it another issue?

Here's my answer, I definitely need mesa 7.1... any Arch help with a PKGBUILD for it?

yes 7.0.3 doesn't support the rs cards.

I have a mesa 7.1 PKGBUILD that I made by modifying the older 7.03 PKGBUILD. It isn't very pretty, but I'll post it when I get home.

Thank You, that would be so helpful!

[Execute_Method]

BTW
Tech, do you have direct rendering with your setup, or do you still need the xserver upgrade to get it?... Which card are you running?

[Execute_Method]

Here's an update!

I am now running the 2.6.26-zenmm rc8 kernel (which, by the way, is a bit faster and is running very stable...so far). <-That means I don't have to load the DRM, right?

I did load libdrm before the kernel update:
[stephen@ephraim ~]$ pacman -Q libdrm
libdrm 2.3.1-1


Do I need to load it again?

I installed mesa 7.1 (via a modified PKGBUILD. src came from: http://www.mesa3d.org/beta/. and the build and install finished without error)

[stephen@ephraim ~]$ pacman -Q mesa
mesa 7.1-3


but glxinfo still shows:

The hex is showing different here than before, which makes me think it installed properly, but I'm not sure.

xserver is still 1.4.2, do I need to update that now that I'm using the custom kernel?

For what i can see you need to install libdrm from git, then mesa, and then xorg (in that order) to get acceleration with your radeon card if it's supported by the radeon-git. I think you need to build the lastest xorg-git to make things work.

Be aware that right now, the mesa-git repository is somewhat broken, since they removed a package from the dependency list.

Other users in the Arch forum are trying to get the package xorg-server-git working but they have found some problems also. Maybe you should get in touch with them. The link is http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=50873

I think they can help you better.

Anyway to answer your questions:

Do I need to load it again?
No. Once you installed it, it should load automatically from X.

[stephen@ephraim ~]$ glxinfo |grep version
unknown chip id 0x71c1, can't guess.
libGL warning: 3D driver returned no fbconfigs.
libGL error: InitDriver failed
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering
server glx version string: 1.2
client glx version string: 1.4
GLX version: 1.2
OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1 Mesa 7.0.3)

Hmmm.. seems something is broken. Do you uninstalled the whole X system before you compilled it?? (eg. pacman -Rc xorg) If not probably there are some leftovers that are interfering... If you installed/compilled the custom packages using ABS (MAKEPKG and Co.) then you can uninstall them and try again.

xserver is still 1.4.2, do I need to update that now that I'm using the custom kernel?
AFAIK, the kernel has little to do with the mesa system. But if you are using the latest libdrm/mesa & Co. you should also use the latest xorg code to make full use of it.

I am still getting this error though:

Sure, you will have errors since glxinfo reports that you don't have hardware acceleration. In fact, glxinfo is showing you that mesa doesn't know what hardware you have. AIGLX only works when mesa report hardware acceleration (this is "Direct Rendering") otherwise, will fallback to software rendering.

Again, go to the link i provided and try to ask the guy that are trying to get the xorg-server-git working. Probably hin can help you better that i can.

Best regards

J.

Sorry for taking so long to get back. My computer isn't in a usable state right now (Blasted XP drive labeling scheme!), but once it is, I'll get back into this.

[TechMage89]

Sorry for the double post :P.

I have gotten back into the flow of things, and now I can't get DRI to work. I'm using the radeonhd driver (I think it is now better for r500), but for some reason, it doesn't recognize that DRI is installed on the config and it disables it in the driver. glxinfo also gives me this:

Now that looks like an xserver compatibilty issue, which means I need Xserver 1.5 to build from git. Does anyone know the deps of xserver 1.5? I'm missing something, but I can't figure out what it is.

Now that looks like an xserver compatibilty issue, which means I need Xserver 1.5 to build from git. Does anyone know the deps of xserver 1.5? I'm missing something, but I can't figure out what it is.

See here:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=403695#p403695

and:

http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/xorg-server/trunk/PKGBUILD?revision=8099


Think you might want to help me with this?...For instance, do I need to uninstall the old xserver before installing this one, and it seems like a lot of dependencies (tree)?

[TechMage89]

I got it working, but it's a pretty ugly (har, har) solution.

I created PKGBUILDS for dri2proto and libpciaccess (dependencies for the xorg-server 1.5), and there are existing PKGBUILDS in AUR for libdrm that works with minor modifications. There are also several other packages you need (don't remember them off the top of my head) that you can install from regular pacman repositories.

However, I ran into two problems. The first is that the xorg-server needs some header files to build that the mesa PKGBUILD doesn't package for some reason. The second is that the libgl PKGBUILD doesn't appear to build the drivers!

My ugly solution was to copy the header files from an unpacked mesa tree (root of the mesa tree)/include/GL/internal/* to /usr/include/GL/internal
and to build the mesa drivers manually from the tree and install them without the package manager. I'm searching for a better solution, but I needed my computer working in the mean time.

As for replacing existing packages, you can remove them without ripping out dependancies using pacman -Rd package_name and install the package files with pacman -A. Mind you, I think you could have found that in the pacman manual if you'd dug a little.

For anyone interested, here are my (imperfectly modified) PKGBUILDS. Like I said, libgl and mesa don't work quite right yet, but everything else should be nice and shiny:

Please note that the Xserver PKGBUILD requires a separate install script you can find on the archlinux site, but I didn't modify that.

[Execute_Method]

well, I broke it! I'm not sure what I broke though. All the builds went OK, I installed all the xserver dependencies, the last to be installed were mesa and libgl, ran the script I found from an old xserver PKGBUILD, and finally installed xserver..... Everything seemed to go fine. I rebooted and lo and behold, no X!!

I was able to get my desktop back eventually though. As well I looked at the logs, and it seems there is a version mismatch somewhere and 2or3 modules are not loading (evdev and record are 2 of them). I will post the logs a little later.

Strangely enough, glxinfo says I have direct rendering, which is good I guess, it means some of the install went OK.

glxinfo is showing mesa 7.1 :)
xorg log is showing 1.4.99.906 is being used :)

What would cause r300 not to have extensions? is that because of "record" not loading?

********
and Tech, did you have to install evdev?
I modprobed it and it's there, but record isn't

[stephen@ephraim ~]$ lsmod | grep evdev
evdev 9472 3

[TechMage89]

No, I never installed evdev... what is it?

Your error is very strange. What does your xorg.conf look like?

I would rebuild the dri drivers. It looks like the r300 dri isn't matching up to your libGL for some reason.

Like I said, I can't find a PKGBUILD that successfully builds dri drivers from git, so you may have to do it manually.
