Llano KMS / Dual Screen mostly Just Works

[dbont]

I just put together a new Llano system (A8-3850 on F1A75-I deluxe), and am very happy with how little configuration was needed to get it to run dual screen using only the motherboard outputs (ASUS PA238 on DP, and ACER P244W on HDMI).

I am running Fedora rawhide with xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.14.3-1.fc17.x86_64 and using awesome window manager.

All I had to do was add 'radeon.modeset=1' to grub.cfg and edit xorg.conf to

Section "Device"
        Identifier "Videocard0"
        Driver "ati"
EndSection

It is my first dual monitor system, and will work well as my coding workstation.

One minor work-around I have to do after booting is to unplug and replug the HDMI cable, or else both screens are blank.

The only nitpick I have is that the system is using llvmpipe instead of hardware acceleration. As a result, some screen redraws are a little slow and glxgears at default size gives 98 FPS.

Is there someway to change this, or is hardware OpenGL still in development?

Relevant dmesg, Xorg.0.log and glxinfo below.

Very unlogical, because the driver should be autodetected and modeset=1 is default too...

[rohcQaH]

On my E-350, I didn't need any special setup. Recent kernel, recent mesa, firmware in place, just works. No xorg.conf, grub-settings or anything. SUMO support should be advanced enough that you shouldn't need any of that, either.

One minor work-around I have to do after booting is to unplug and replug the HDMI cable, or else both screens are blank.

Many desktop environments have something in place to restore your screen setup on boot; if yours doesn't then hunt down some autostart scripts and add the required xrandr commands there.

no, actually you really didnt know..

I'll look in to the xrandr options.

The kernel version is correct - 3.2.0-rc1 has been released and packaged in rawhide.

The system was initially installed on an intel laptop, and then moved over to the AMD desktop - perhaps that is why the settings are not automatic.

Does your E-350 have hardware OpenGL rendering? Do you know your glxgears FPS?

[rohcQaH]

oh right, latest RC kernel. Somehow I missed that we're at 3.2.x already. Ok, that should be recent enough

Does your E-350 have hardware OpenGL rendering? Do you know your glxgears FPS?

Yes, it has.

OpenGL vendor string: X.Org
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD PALM
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.11
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20

glxgears runs at a constant ~60 due to vsync and/or the compositor.

Mine was in the 400s with vblank disabled, though I think that was in the default power mode. Don't know if the apu even has a "high" mode, though.

[Ivoshiee]

I searched around and came to that topic by the "atom_op_jump" error. I have broadly a similar issue, except I try to run my system not in dual display mode and on a VGA output. My system is going up to a point when it should switch mode and then the monitor will just suspend. Board is a 3 core AMD A6-3500 .
