Legacy ATI fglrx Drivers For R200 Products on Fedora Core 6 Zod

[Michael]

I have created a script so the fglrx 8.28.8 drivers will build properly on Fedora Core 6 Zod. If you run the 8.28 drivers directly on FC6 it will break. The fglrx 8.28.8 display drivers were the last main driver to support R200 generation graphics cards (Radeon 9000 / 9200). This script is similar to the on I had written for the 8.29.6 display drivers prior to the 8.30 release.

The script can be downloaded @ http://www.phoronix.com/redblog/downloads/fglrx-fc6-legacy-generator.sh

First of all, make sure you have all of the appropriate development libraries and tools installed. If you run into an issue with building fireglcontrolpanel, see http://www.phoronix.net/forums/showthread.php?t=287

If this script is unable to find the ATI 8.28.8 display driver in the same directory, it will download it from ATI. Next, it will download updated and modified firegl_public code from this server and replace that found in 8.28.8. (At this time it's the 8.29.6 firegl_public code with modifications to not include linux/config.h). It will then go through the standard fglrx --buildpkg process and generate the RPMs.

As long as the upcoming fglrx display drivers maintain firegl_public compatibility with the 8.28.8 set, I will be able to update the script to support future kernel releases, etc... Just ask for them when the time comes.

It wouldn't be hard at all to integrate support for Fedora Core 5 Bordeaux into this script (as the drivers will break on FC5 post 2.6.18 kernels), but you really should make the move to Zod.

If you run into any other problems or have questions, just ask. I have successfully used this script on a stock FC6 install to generate 8.28.8 packages. As always, for legal purposes, run this script at your own risk.

Note: The fglrx drivers are not needed for ATI R200 graphics cards. There are reliable open-source "Radeon" display drivers currently available for R200/R300 components. If you want to use the ATI open-source drivers see: http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATIRadeon

[Michael]

The firegl_public code for the legacy ATI fglrx drivers for R200 products on Fedora 6 has been updated. The firegl_public code is now extracted from the 8.32.5 release. Using the above-noted link will automatically fetch the updated code from the server when running.

I just came across this thread. Do you think this would help with my Radeon 9550? How do I know if I have a R200?

Cheers.

[Michael]

What problems do you have with your 9550?

The 9550 is not an R200 component. The R200 series goes up to the 9250.

Oh, if you recall this thread:

http://www.phoronix.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1376

you will see I wasn't able to get it working.

But I check back here every now-and-then to see if there are any updates that might help me.

[Michael]

Did you try updating your kernel and everything you mentioned or reinstalling? Or have you turned to the open-source drivers?

[jacksmash]

Back at that time... yes I did. I'm just using the open-source drivers now. However, I just updated my kernel again (I saw your article "Fedora Core 6 With Linux 2.6.20") and was curious... but I'm just not sure if it applies to me.

(I know - I should just try it anyways... just a bit busy at the moment) ;)

That will be with the new drivers not out yet, but will be by the end of the month.

[jacksmash]

Ok... I'll be patient then. Thanks for your efforts.

[d2kx]

Michael, are you sure that the drivers are not getting released by tomorrow?

[Michael]

Michael, are you sure that the drivers are not getting released by tomorrow?

I will tell you that they will not be released today or tomorrow, but they will be out by the end of March.

I have updated the firegl_public code (applied the 2.6.20 patch to 8.35.5 and then packaged it up). I have not tested this code but it should hopefully work for R200 users. This will likely be the final update for the Fedora 6 legacy scripts. If you run into any problems, please post.

Fixed. I also decided to run the script and I can confirm it is now building properly :)

Should work as soon as you re-run the script and it will fetch the new code.

I had followed your instructions to get my radeon 9550 installed previously, but since ive upgraded my kernel, everything broke. It shows mesa gl and everthing runs like garbage. I think i'm using the open source one for some reason. Any help would be great.

[jacksmash]

Since you upgraded the kernel you will likely have to install the drivers again (I think).

[gene6482]

I tried to do that but I keep getting conflicts when i try to install the rpms

[acediac]

First off, please include my gratitude in the chorus of appreciation for your efforts, Michael, in keeping release 8.28.8 alive for those of us who need it to support the older Radeon 9200 cards.

I successfully built the package just days ago, but now I'm trying to solve a problem with loading the fglrx kernel module, which gives me the following error:

fglrx: Unknown symbol firegl_cmmqs_get_pageaddr_from_vm
fglrx: Unknown symbol firegl_cail_powerdown
fglrx: Unknown symbol firegl_cail_powerup

in dmesg.

However, your fglrx-fc6-legacy-generator.sh and the patch tarball that it tries to download are no longer accessible! I get an http 440 error.

Like I said, I successfully accessed it days ago, so I hope it's just a temporary glitch and hasn't been removed, because there really is a need for it (the open source drivers don't work when hooking up the DVI output to an HDTV)

The other thing is if anyone has any ideas about the unknown symbol problem I'm getting, I would be grateful to hear about it. (Another similar thread was posted, but the problem was solved by re-running Michael's "updated" script, which was what I was trying to do!)

Many thanks.

[Michael]

The unknown symbols is due to the Linux 2.6.20 kernel and some compatibility problems.

With the relaunch of the Phoronix site some of the directories got messed up, so I'll work on getting it reuploaded to that location or tell you the new location.

I see. I am indeed running 2.6.20. Is there any way around this? Any nonessential parts of the driver I can comment out/disable for now? or is downgrading the kernel the only option?

I should add that the X drivers work well, I am able to get output from the DVI to the HDMI of my HDTV where it wouldn't work with the packaged radeon X driver. I'm merely trying to get the kernel module to load to get XV working so as to hopefully speed up video playback for HD video files.

With the relaunch of the Phoronix site some of the directories got messed up, so I'll work on getting it reuploaded to that location or tell you the new location.

Ah! Much thanks!

Yes I might have to do the same and buy a cheap nvidia 6200 or something. I just found out that XvMC doesn't work with ATi drivers, and I sorely need that with the old box that I'm setting up for someone due to the slower processor. I myself have a new box with an nVidia card that didn't have any problems.

I found a work around for the Unknown symbols displayed above.

For kernel 2.6.20-1.2933 You need to change
firegl_cail_powerdown and firegl_cail_powerup
to firegl_powerdown and firegl_powerup in all ocurrences in firegl_public.c and firegl_public.h

As for the firegl_cmmqs_get_pageaddr_from_vm this is more off a pain,
you need to remove all reference to it. There is a case section to do with paging, the initial call to this has been added in there as a new page function. if you remove this and the functions that it calls you can compile the driver and it appears to be stabe. (On an R250 anyway) this version of the driver finally allows hibernate and suspend to work on my card. Unfortunately ive lost my code changes and need to wait for Michael's files to be re-uploaded so i can check on the latest kernel 2.6.20-1.2944.

OMG, nice trick! But I think this should be done by ATi.
Also, I can only suppose that it would be great if someone will make a distro with these bugs fixed for FC6. Too much human time wasted already on fighting with stupid ATi "installer".

Hi Michael,

I have successfully run the fc6 legacy script in the past, but when I tried to run the script this afternoon, it failed to locate the firegl_public code on the phoronix website.

Have the download files been moved? If so, where can I download the tar file?

Thanks.

When the new site launched the file locations changed, but the firegl_public code had failed to do so. I am still trying to find a backup I had of the firegl_public code otherwise I'll need to make the patch over again.

Kirsch,

Thanks for posting the files. I have now been able to recreate my *hack* to get them working on 2.6.20 kernels.

I have made 2 diff files that fix the cail and cmmqs problems

http://ijbrooks.dyn-o-saur.com/fglrx/firegl_public.c-fix_fglrx_for_2.6.20_kernel.diff
http://ijbrooks.dyn-o-saur.com/fglrx/firegl_public.h-fix_fglrx_header_for_2.6.20_kernel.diff

You can also find pre packaged rpm's for kernels at this url. Ill add kernel-2.6.20-1.2948 rpms once i get home and can reboot my laptop.

http://ijbrooks.dyn-o-saur.com/fglrx/

However I did find out that ATI's site is wrong when it comes to supported version as the Radeon 9000 Pro is still supported by the official version so it turns out i can use the lates ati drivers anyway.

[zx5000]

Thank you for posting.

Jeff

I'm having trouble building this. It's likely something I'm not doing right. I need the fglrx driver because since my mobo was replaced by service technicians my LCD panel will top out at 1200x800 instead of the 1680x1050 I'm used to. Also, I have in the past run dual head which is impossible with xorg's "radeon".

I have a stock 2.6.18 kernel that was updated to the usual FC settings expect for 4K stacks which break vmware and driverloader. This kernel is in /usr/src/linux-2.6.18.

Here is the tee output from the shell operation.

Do you have kernel headers or kernel source installed? It looks like you might be missing these.

[ijbrooks]

Quick note. You can do dual head with the radeon driver

The following xorg.conf options in your device section should enable it, change the Metamodes and rates to your setup.

# enable radeon specific xinerama
Option "MergedFB" "true"
Option "CRT2Position" "RightOf"
Option "CRT2Hsync" "50-75"
Option "CRT2VRefresh" "30-82"
Option "MetaModes" "1024x768-1280x1024"
Option "MergedNonRectangular" "true"

The 1680x1050 problem. is that because your new mb has a GC that cant handle it or is the driver responding wrongly and wont let you set it to that resolution?

[zx5000]

The new mobo is a direct replacement. I have a HP Pavilion laptop. It is still under the 3 year bestbuy warranty. In my Xorg.0.log it says the BIOS reports the panel as 1200x800 and so even if I specify modelines with hsync vsync etc it still ends up in 1200x800.

Here's my source tree. The kernel headers usually reside in /lib/modules/(active kernel)/build. This is mapping to the correct directory. The error I'm getting is the same as if I ran the ati*.run file.

I am also grateful that someone worked through getting the driver to work on Fedora 6 for the legacy cards. However, I can't access the script that is mentioned at the top of this thread (#342).

Trying to access (http://www.phoronix.com/redblog/downloads/fglrx-fc6-legacy-generator.sh) give me "Page not found".

I think somewhere in another thread, someone mentioned that the web site has been revamped. Any chance the link to this valuable script can be fixed?

Thanks!

[JEWilson]

Michael, are you sure that the drivers are not getting released by tomorrow?

Apologies if I am off topic, I'm a newbie

I have a ATI Fire GL 4 AGP Pro w/station card
After a clean install of Suse 9.0, a supplied
dependcy check scrip from ATI tells me the
distro above runs XFree v4.3 and glibc 2.3

The last drivers ATI have supplied are for
distro's which support XFree 4.2 and glibc 2.2.
This is as good as it gets... so it appears.

To be fair, the ATI script whilst detailing the
above, does suggest I try a R200 driver package
instead and names r200glib21.tgz

As you are discussing r200 support in this thread,
it was my expectation, you might shed some light
on the case for the FireGL4.

Would I be required to go back to a distro that
supports XFree 4.2 and glibc 2.2 or.... is there
a better, smarter mousetrap out there for this
card?

Any help and insight greatly appreciated
Thanks
