how to get XV, DRI working on HD 3300 (rv620) ??

[rahman.duran]

Okay interesting.
xserver version? xorg.conf configuration?

X.Org X Server 1.5.2
nothing special in xorg.conf just default.

By the way I am really impressed the development of the driver. Just one week ago it was far away from usable for me. But now it is really matured. Thanks all the devs.

Hmm weird.

I don't got the:

Group "video"
Mode 0660
EndSection


But thats about it.

I have noticed image quality differences between x11 video out and xv vo on latest git( btw I dont know if it was the same before as I had never a chance to test it before ). On x11 -vo the images darker parts are darker than on xv -vo. Is it some king of gama stuf in xv code of the branch? I can post screenshots if you want.

I dont think it is related with composite it seems it is about XV video permissions. Ofcourse I am just guessing.

Ok, I've got RadeonHD running with EXA now (with new drm and radeon modules of course) on my RV770 (had to add AccelMethod "EXA") and it is much faster than VESA, but Xv doesn't seem to be avaible, because xvinfo tells me there's no adapters present. Also interesting in the Xorg.0.log was:

(II) RADEONHD(0): Unknown card detected: 0x9442:0x1043:0x0264.
	If - and only if - your card does not work or does not work optimally
	please contact [email protected] to help rectify this.
	Use the subject: 0x9442:0x1043:0x0264: <name of board>
	and *please* describe the problems you are seeing
	in your message.
(--) RADEONHD(0): Detected an RV770 on an unidentified card

and

(II) RADEONHD(0): The detected amount of videoram exceeds the PCI BAR aperture.
(II) RADEONHD(0): Using only 262144kB of the total 1048576kB.
(--) RADEONHD(0): VideoRAM: 262144 kByte

Sounds like DRI is not initialized and you're running with shadowfb.

Do you have DRI enabled in your xorg.conf file (according to the radeonhd wiki you just need :

Option "DRI"

... with no true/false value.

Maybe pastebin your log and dmesg output ?

EDIT - regarding the two messages you quoted :

For the first message, "unrecognized hardware" really means "I recognize the GPU, but I don't have your specific card in my list of boards which need non-standard treatment, so I'm just going to run the normal code for your GPU". No problem.

For the second message, that's normal as well. The PCI BARs only cover up to 256MB of address space, but modern cards have more than that. The implication is that your CPU can only easily access the first 256MB, but your GPU can use the entire memory on the card. Again, not a problem; the CPU usually only needs to access frame buffer and offscreen buffers, and occasionally a depth buffer; most of the RAM is used for textures, which are usually blitted up to video memory and accessed only by the GPU.

Video acceleration also uses a frame cache for motion compensation, but again this information is normally only accessed by the GPU so the BAR limit is no problem.

[d2kx]

DRI is enabled now, but still no Xv (if xvinfo is not lying).

I just booted up a openSUSE 11.1 KDE4 LiveCD and 2D performance and overall responsiveness seemed much better, even with ShadowFB. Sometimes I think Ubuntu's Xserver is just one big piece of... cake.

Thanks for your help, bridgman & agd5f!

[bridgman]

I think you have an old version of drm. Are you building both radeonhd and drm from the 6xx-7xx branches ?

[d2kx]

I did exactly what agd5f said. Yes, I used the r6xx-r7xx-support branch from mesa/drm, too. I replaced the modules that were in

/lib/modules/2.6.28-something/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.28-something/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon.ko

With the newer ones...

Sounds reasonable. You definitely seem to be running with an old drm, though -- dmesg output showed none of the messages (eg microcode loading) that come with the latest drm code.

The message from your X log was :

[0 sec: 572990 usec](EE) RADEONHD(0): RHDDRIVersionCheck: drmOpen("radeon", "pci:0000:01:00.0") failed.
[0 sec: 573042 usec](WW) RADEONHD(0): RHDDRIPreInit: Version check failed. Disabling DRI.

EDIT - did you reboot after updating the kernel modules ?

Ignore my comment about the commit; you do have the right radeonhd source. Sorry.
