  • If xrender is butt slow and xvinfo has no screens that usually means that the drm code is either wrong or missing and you have no acceleration at all.

    Are you using drm built from either the 6xx-7xx support branch or drm/next ? If so, can you pastebin x log and dmesg output ?

    • pedepy,

      It sounds like you didn't get the updated drm. Follow the instructions from here.


      Find the existing drm.ko and radeon.ko kernel modules on your system and back them up, then replace them with the newly built versions.

      If you are in X, you need to drop out of X into a console. If running 'lsmod | grep radeon' shows any loaded modules, you will need to 'modprobe -r radeon' and 'modprobe -r drm'

      run 'depmod' to make sure the system sees the new files and restart X. See if this works any better. You can also check the X.org.log to see if any DRM messages appear to say all is working well. You should also have working Xv, and xvinfo should show more than no screens found.

        • You're right

          Sorry, it was a 6xx/7xx thread accel so *naturally* we assumed...

          In that case your problem may be easier to fix. Do you have Option "DRI" in the Device section of your config file ?

            3d, Xv, and Xrender should be working fast and shiny for your card, so there must be something wrong with your config (or a driver bug). Post your xorg log, and maybe I can tell you what's wrong.

            • yea figures..

              well anyway, the 'regular' radeon driver seems to work, only kwin compositing under opengl mode still doesnt work. xrender just doesnt cut it especially for transparency effects on moving windows and fading effects .....

              Are you saying that opengl compositing just wont happen with radeon ? I have 'direct rendering' enabled .... glxinfo says so, and glxgears report "decent" fps ... the only thing is kwin just wont enable it. its not be verbose about it........

              i didnt try compiz.

              edit: ive also just tried a wine game, simcity 4, and its slooooooooooooow and clogged with colorful artifacts in place of textures...

              anyway, here's my xorg.conf (i have to do some cleaning up in there, but i dont think this is the problem)..

              • ooooooook

                more updates..


                I added lines 'AccelRender' and 'AGPMode' '4' and somehow its now accepting OpenGL compositing. There is one thing where 'startup' performance seems alot better and it degrades after a short while, although I suspect this to be a kwin issue rather than something to do with the display driver (I had similar problems with fglrx 8.8 and 9.2)

                Anyway ........ this is nice. Windows resizing is snappy, video is ok (although not redirected, yet), and overall this feels better than any version of fglrx ive ever tried.

                I wonder why that is.....

                • uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

                  i stand corrected ......... xv video is redirected ...

                  WTF is this driver ? why is it doing everything fglrx has been trying to do for the last 24 months ?.........?????????????????

                  • Erm, guys? Do you have any ideas about why this 'plasma effect' occurs?

                      This can't be. There is no 3D stack for r600 and above. Composite via xrender should work but not OpenGL. You should finde something like this in your xorg.log:
                      Code:
                      (EE) AIGLX error: Calling driver entry point failed(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
                      (II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib64/dri/swrast_dri.so
                      (II) GLX: Initialized DRISWRAST GL provider for screen 0
                      And with software rendering composite doesn't work.
