Compiz Running With Mesa On R600/700 GPUs

[Louise]

Using the command 'make' or 'make DRM_MODULES="radeon"' produces this output when attempting to compile agd5f's drm git source code into the kernel:

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/zen-sources'
CC [M] /tmp/gitadrm/drm/linux-core/drm_auth.o
In file included from /tmp/gitadrm/drm/linux-core/drmP.h:85,

make[1]: *** [_module_/tmp/gitadrm/drm/linux-core] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/zen-sources'
make: *** [modules] Error 2

Is the error related to the Zen-sources 2.6.30-zen3 kernel or agd5f's code?

agd5f wrote earlier in this post that his branch is against 2.6.28 and would port it when the API stabilizes.

But he did already

Damn! That was quick

I just applied nanonyme's patch. I haven't tested anything newer than 2.6.28 yet, so YMMV...

[jjjj]

r6xx-r7xx-3d works with kernel 2.6.31-rc5

hw:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Mobilitiy Radeon HD 3650

glxinfo:
OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R600 (RV635 9591) 20090101 TCL
OpenGL version string: 1.4 Mesa 7.6-devel

~$ uname -a
Linux gandalf 2.6.31-5-generic #24-Ubuntu SMP Sat Aug 1 12:47:58 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
~$ glxgears
IRQ's not enabled, falling back to busy waits: 2 16
167 frames in 5.0 seconds = 33.252 FPS
239 frames in 5.0 seconds = 47.662 FPS

So the r6xx-r7xx-3d compiles, installs and runs in 2.6.31. Both compiz and glxgears run, both slowly, but running anyways.

Google earth also works, slowly and has a lot of artifacts, but works

whats the cat obession all about

Tigris? Tegra? All the OSX codenames - whats the obession with cats and why did AMD choose a name thats almost identical to Nvidias' rival product?

Ceiling cat is watching you AMD/Chipzilla!

you cant blame amd.
they tried different stuff with their lowcost notebook platform congo...
but suddenly a bunch of idiots thought that its evil to call a notebook platform after a region that "The site has named the African country the most dangerous place in the world to be a female because of the epidemic of sexual violence that has been going on there for years. " and amd gave in and rebranded it to this all so catchy name i always have to look up:
"2nd Generation Ultrathin Platform"

If i want to try out this new code i just must follow this guide?

Cool!

What happens if you play a movie with xv and then with "mplayer -vo gl2" ?
