It looks like you built the driver (xf86-video-ati) without dri support.

configure: The atimisc sub-driver has been split out to xf86-video-mach64:
    git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-mach64
Please install that driver as well for mach64-based cards.

configure: The r128 sub-driver has been split out to xf86-video-r128:
    git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-r128
Please install that driver as well for rage128-based cards.

to me it seems that dri has been built like were built with dri, sarea, pciaccess, damage and exa. i don't seem to find the texturedvideo anyway, but xorg log seems to say that on rs690 it needs the cp enabled to enable texturedvideo.

isn't this by chance related to something in the libdrm or the driproto?!

i'm using git compiled drm and dri. in my previous reply you could not only see the sites i've picked up drm, mesa and xorg but also the configure options. actually dmesg doesn't spit nothing regarding drm or radeon since it has gotten populated with iptables output.

To me it seems like you are building and installing libdrm twice. What is that x11-drm step? You need to cd into linux-core and run make and make install.

You can try grep drm /var/log/syslog depending on your distro and configuration. BTW, if you're on Debian or Ubuntu you may try my prebuilt packages, and if you're not you might try the live CD test I posted in another thread, at least to see if it works before you try more on installing.

Maybe you have a libdri* in /lib and it's getting chosen instead of the new one in /usr/lib.

He is using gentoo with x11 overlay i think. x11-drm is the name of the package that installs the drm kernel modules?

Btw, why do you need the mesa sources to build xserver? I thought you didn't need to do that anymore.

as you say i'm using x11 overlay on gentoo sources. the xorg-server-9999 still checks the mesa git includes, i've read on xorg-mailing list that it's still not safe to remove the mesa includes. do you think that this might be the problem?!

the libdrm is composed of libraries that go in /usr/lib and in /lib and of kernel modules that go in /lib/modules. gentoo just splits the 2 in 2 packages (this way you don't have to rebuild the libdrm if you update the kernel). you could argue on this approach if you want but till now it worked somehow.

I used to run gentoo. I'm using ubuntu now.

Not sure. This is how i configured git libdrm, mesa and xserver:

./autogen.sh --cache-file=/home/serkan/src/xorg/autoconf-cache --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --with-driver=dri --disable-glx-tls --with-xcb --enable-xcb --with-fontdir=/usr/share/fonts/X11/ --with-log-dir=/var/log

As you can see no --with-mesa-source.

and for the kernel modules i do make in linux-core folder in drm. Well make -j2 actually. Then do sudo cp *.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/drm/ to overwrite the installed modules. So that gives me this:

serkan@zoidberg:~
$ grep -i aiglx /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(==) AIGLX enabled
(II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI2 capable
(II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer
(II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_SGI_swap_control and GLX_MESA_swap_control
(II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_texture_from_pixmap with driver support
(II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib/dri/r300_dri.so

Then i get to play with eyecandy

i've managed to compile xorg-git without mesa and dri seems to start, but i have a lot of artifacts with exa enabled, i've got like a strage "overlay" in openoffice whenever i try to view documents that prevents me from reading them, a big amount of horizontal black lines in firefox, and very often firefox with gmail mailbox (online reading) locks the system (magic keys, ctrl+alt+backspace or +canc, don't work and i have to do a hard reboot). i don't know if this is really normal. is there a log where to see why xorg has crashed?! the xorg.0.log in var/log doesn't seem to see anything when xorg locks.
i still have to try out xaa and see what happens, but for the moment it seems that at least dri is working and the system is much or less usable.

[c0un7d0wn]

Try to ssh to the system. Check out the recent drm kernel modules too, glisse added some hard lockup fix. If not, i would bug the devs on #radeon on irc.

I have two laptops, one with x1600 which works perfectly no artifacts, and one with x1250 i think that has some artifacts in firefox but very stable.

I thank the devs and amd for opening up and delivering us from fglrx

edit: try the radeon-lockup-free branch in ag5df's git repo: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/drm

could you please post your xorg.conf and eventually the /root/.drirc?! i still can only go to max 190 fps with glxgears and konsole and firefox navigation is still very bad with the latest radeon-lockup-free, libdrm, mesa and xorg-servers (without mesa includes).
thanks
