OOps! I've been drinking water from that pipe "under construction" for a couple of days already ... Silly me ... Is there a medicine ... ? Please keep the good work, constructing it, on. I'll wait ...

Give us a wink when the construction is finished.

water or Holy water ?

cure for the fglrx ...... ?

Holy Water cure?

I have two questions concerning kms:
Will there be any tearing when i use xv as output?
I've got Mesa 7.7-rc2 and a 2.6.32-kernel. What else do i need to activate kms? (besides adding "radeon.modeset=1")

You don't need anything else as far as I know for kms. But if you have an r600+ card I suggest using a newer kernel, since it has the irq support which is wonderful! At least with compiz I got absolutely no tearing.
However, I got some minor issues with video playback, but probably my mplayer-mt is just way too old...

i think you need mesa 7.8 for kms/openGL2
i think for all features actual in dev you need also kernel 2.6.33

last time i check KMS out was on 2.6.32+mesa7.8

[agd5f]

mesa 7.6.1 will support 3D on r6xx/r7xx with or without kms when it's released. You can grab what will become 7.6.1 from the 7.6 branch of the mesa tree.

Thank You very much! Second URL have those file already assembled and I've put them in /lib/firmware/radeon (after creating radeon folder)... Error is now gone ...
Update:Error is gone but the graphics became very erratic at boot. I removed that folder, got the error again but very stable and fast graphics with 2.6.32-999 is back.

If I make folder /lib/firmware/radeon and put /lib/firmware/radeon/R600_rlc.bin I do not get warning I mentioned earlier, butI get:

. It makes no problem afterwards and I get:

~$ glxinfo|grep render
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R600 (RV635 9598) 20090101  TCL DRI2

with usual problems with first start of GDM, garbled screen, that I solve by going to tty1 and restarting GDM. Am I doing something wrong ...? I've took R600_rlc.bin from a second URL You gave in one of Your previous messages.
This, of course happens only if I force KMS in 2.6.32-999, without that it goes without KMS and no problems there, I also get HW render but:

~$ glxinfo|grep render
IRQ's not enabled, falling back to busy waits: 2 0
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R600 (RV635 9598) 20090101  TCL

Also, 2.6.32-8 (official Lucid) doesn't use R600_rlc.bin and there are no problems there, I also get HW render but:

~$ glxinfo|grep render
do_wait: drmWaitVBlank returned -1, IRQs don't seem to be working correctly.
Try adjusting the vblank_mode configuration parameter.
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R600 (RV635 9598) 20090101  TCL DRI2

Update: It seems I've eliminated those mistakes by disabling Interrupt assignment for PCI graphic card in BIOS. (ATI HD 3650)

[darkbasic]

i think you need mesa 7.8 for kms/openGL2
i think for all features actual in dev you need also kernel 2.6.33

No need for 2.6.33, you can use 2.6.32+drm-next.
OpenGL2 is quite buggy now and you need a cflag to enable it, you should wait a bit before enable it.

Hi,

I have a HD 2400 on an Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic, in which I:

• installed linux-image-2.6.32-999-generic (2.6.32-999.200912161003)
• added xorg-edgers PPA
• copied R600_rlc.bin in /lib/firmware/2.6.32-999-generic/radeon
• added "radeon modeset=1" in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
• ran "update-initramfs -u -k all"

I have two displays: VGA 1600x1200, LVDS 1280x800.

KMS starts well, I have working DRI2, but I encounter the following problems:

1. The Linux console has an extra white border on the bigger display. Could this be fixed somehow?
2. Firefox has hiccups while scrolling, i.e. sometimes some parts of the screen refresh slower.
3. gtkperf runs slower (10s w/o KMS vs. 15s w/ KMS), but this might be due to vsync.
4. When I try to enable compiz, Xorg restarts. Nautilus crashes with "The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'." I get the following errors in my dmesg:
   

   [  511.442775] radeon 0000:01:00.0: object_init failed for (13824000, 0x00000004)
   [  511.442781] [drm:radeon_gem_object_create] *ERROR* Failed to allocate GEM object (13824000, 4, 4096)

   And in my xorg.conf:
   

   Failed to alloc memory

5. Suspend/resume hangs the system.

Also, I find it a little bit freakish that until Gnome loads, I can see the content of the desktop before the last reboot. Couldn't the KMS driver clear the whole VRAM?

Does anybody know solutions to the above problems?

Thanks in advance,
Cristi.

I've installed 2.6.33-999 today in Lucid. It starts in non-KMS by default, on my machine (ATI HD3650). When forced to KMS (radeon.modeset=1) it stalls (only Alt-SysRq-B helps). When I've put /lib/firmware/2.6.33-999-generic/radeon/R600_rlc.bin it starts in KMS, with, as I had with 2.6.32-999, garbled screen in gdm, but a trip to a tty1 and sudo service gdm restart gets me into gdm with KMS. Just to report. It is good I've learned a trick with R600_rlc.bin earlier from You. Thank You.
