Just as you say yourself: No, they aren't in any of the usual branches.

Have you tried adding the nosplash option to the kernel?

Yet again, I'm impressed.

Devs seem to keep being awesome. :3

I'd like to test these along with the voltage setting patches, but I don't want to mess around with applying these patches manually

I'm too lazy to modify my shiny PKGBUILD

There were some new commits in drm-radeon-testing this morning. I think this are the patches for voltage and tiling support.

Can confirm this, the new commits are indeed the 'missing' tiling patches and the r6xx+ voltage stuff. Now updating...

The new commits also include Alex's initial CS checker for Evergreen, allowing the submission of acceleration commands :

I updated the drm-radeon-testing branch. But Xorg.0.log shows me:

(WW) RADEON(0): Color tiling is not yet supported on R600/R700

Is xorg 1.8 required?

And how can i check if voltage setting is enabled?

Thanks

Yeah. I noticed that too. Especially this part:

The mesa code that uses this will be released soon.

I think you'll also need patches for the ddx. Which are to be found in the dri-devel mailing-list.
