  • let me think... ubuntu has nothing to do in this case. As i know, xserver-xorg-video-ati - 1:7.1.0 doesn't set glamor acceleration by default for radeonsi. no glamor no fun
    can you paste X log? in my distro: /var/log/Xorg.0.log

    • Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

      • HTML Code:
        cat dmesg.mmstick | grep -i glamor

        Did You install "glamor-0.5-1~git20130313" package?

        • What's the apt-get syntax for that? apt-get install glamor just says unable to locate package.

          • i don't use ubuntu, but try: "find / | grep -i glamoregl" - it always work.

            or just install it(glamor package) from launchpad

            • I ran sudo apt-get install glamor* and saw xserver-xorg-video-glamor and after rebooting it finally works. However, it does not work with kernel 3.11-rc1, back to llvmpipe, which I really want to get running thanks to all the radeonsi patches inside.

              • Back on kernel 3.8, and now I'm faced with the age old problem before. There is no S3TC texture support, so I can't launch any Source games.

                • i don't know why.. but maybe you didn't get latest firmware ?
                  http://people.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/radeon_ucode/

                  your Xlog said that you need files for "TAHITI" Chip

                  in my case firmware for radeon is here: /lib/firmware/radeon/, i hope ubuntu didn't change that in other case.. use google
                  ... or "find / | grep -i TAHITI" to find the right place.

                  and at last, for DPM use "radeon.dpm=1" as a boot parametr.

                  • mmstick@mmstick-PC:~$ ls /lib/firmware/radeon | grep TAHITI
                    TAHITI_ce.bin
                    TAHITI_mc.bin
                    TAHITI_me.bin
                    TAHITI_pfp.bin
                    TAHITI_rlc.bin

                    Considering this is Ubuntu 13.04, and those files are last year, it's safe to say these are up-to-date as well.

                    • Okay I saw that smc.bin and uvd.bin wasn't there so I wgetted them and now I can get graphics rendering in kernel 3.11-rc1 and source games now launch...HOWEVER... all the text is corrupted and after a map loads the game crashes. The same is also happening with kernel 3.8. Something is borked.
