I reinstalled my 3850 to see if it was just my imagination. It wasn't.

With the HD 3850 I get smooth scrolling in chromium, with or without composite. The Xorg process tops at 60% cpu usage when...

Xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.com/ZtpMScAw (ignore the 1.7.5.1 server version, it's 1.8.1. I've patched the version number to make it work with fglrx 10.4).

It's been a long time since I last played a game, so I decided to remove the HD 3850 from my computer and use the integrated HD 4200 instead (less heat and consumption, zero noise). However, the...

After recent updates Darwinia is very playable (good framerate, only minor artifacts) and Doom 3, although with heavy shadow artifacts, has a decent framerate (30fps average in timedemo demo1).

Lately I'm experiencing a terrible 2D performance in VirtualBox and some other things (for example, the videos in NBA.com). Everything is unbearably choppy and the CPU usage is 100% in one core....

You're right. I don't know how, but I had an ancient libdrm in /usr/local. Sorry for the noise.

I have the correct version of libdrm:

$ nm -D /usr/lib/libdrm.so.2.4.0 | grep Fd
00000000000032c0 T drmGetDeviceNameFromFd

but xf86-video-ati still refuses to install in gentoo:

It's the opposite. libdrm 2.4.14 is new enough. ati 6.12.4 isn't (at least it doesn't work with KMS).

I don't know about mesa.

That's the same bug I mentioned in quake3. Some textures affixed to walls and floors (blood stains, shadows) are visible through walls. It also happens in neverball.

It's been like this since the...

Hmmm... can you see players' shadows/floor stains through the walls in quake3 arena? Maybe that's also a mesa bug not specific to radeon hardware.

Yeah, it was solved when I synced this afternoon.

Now the only problem for me is the lack of suspend. Other than that it works well: stable and fast 2D and 3D.

No, it works built-in. I gave it a try by including the firmware blobs in the kernel binary and it boots (and X starts).

@kernelOfTruth: those crashes are there for me too. They happen with...

Credit to taiu from irc :)

A make install should copy it for you. And modprobe radeon should load it.

What I still haven't managed is to get it loaded when radeon is built-in. The boot process simply stops. If, as nanonyme...

Ok, I got it working. I just needed this patch to solve the second issue.

The third issue just went away.

So right know I have KMS working perfectly in my r600, yay! \o/

Hum, maybe you're right. I thought that if ext4 support was built-in, the kernel should be able to locate the firmware in the root partition.

I hate initrd :mad:

Anyway, that's the least of my...

Doesn't work very well here (rv670, hd3850). As I said in the IRC:

- If I enable modesetting by default at boot, it doesn't find the firmware (possibly my fault, because it *is* in...

Mine is more or less the same as RealNC's. This is the patch for the 9.8 ebuild.

I'm pretty sure everybody does; as Muad'Dib pointed out this is most probably caused by fglrx using 16-235 instead of 0-255 for each RGB component under xv.

I seem to remember there was a registry...

I never filed a bug because for me it's SO OBVIOUS that I assumed everybody knew and nobody cared / knew how to solve it. For example, I find it impossible to find a #000000 colored pixel with fglrx...
