Getting Open Source 3D graphics on R6XX/R7XX cards (NO FGLRX)

[rmartinez]

PLEASE NOTE: BE SURE TO CHANGE THE LIBDIR ACCORDINGLY!

Problems with xorg log:

(EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed to open the DRM
[dri] Disabling DRI.
(II) [KMS] drm report modesetting isn't supported.
(WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa
(WW) Falling back to old probe method for fbdev

compile libdrm_radeon

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/mesa/drm && cd drm && make distclean && ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64/or/usr/lib --enable-radeon-experimental-api && sudo make install

now compile ati DDX

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati && cd *ati && make distclean && ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64/or/usr/lib && make && sudo make install && sudo ldconfig

try that.

Hi, I had a problem while compiling libdrm_radeon:

make: *** No rule to make target `distclean'.  Stop.

Here are all the files:

Let me know if you need something else. I have no problem in reinstalling all the system or trying anything. I just need 3D acceleration in linux for my work! Thanks a lot!! (of course I could keep going with win7... but I thinks its time to make the leap)

Use a service like pastebin then paste a link to the pastebin page.

The xorg.log and dmesg.txt are to long to put them in a reply... It is possible to attach them in any way?

I don't see anything special in my guide that might fix it. Before you start compiling everything, run this command in the terminal and paste ALL output using the # / CODE button in this thread so I can look it over.

LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo &> glxinfo.txt
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log &> xorg.log
dmesg &> dmesg.txt

Open up those files and paste all output here after doing those exact commands (no typoes) Thanks.

OK, here are the output files:

glxinfo.txt
======

X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  135 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
  Serial number of failed request:  16
  Current serial number in output stream:  16
name of display: :0.0

There was a fix added to the -ati driver recently which might help with hybrid graphcs, so if the instructions involve pulling xf86-video-ati from git master they're probably worth a try.

Hello, my computer (ASUS M51Ta) has two graphic cards:
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS780M/RS780MN [Radeon HD 3200 Graphics]
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3650
And it is not possible to disable none of them from bios... I'm having troubles in installing drivers that will bring 3D acceleration, I tried almost everything I could (last fglrx with Ubuntu 9.10, radeonhd 1.3.0). Do you think that your guide will work with my hybrid configuration? Thanks!

Sorry. Pull from drm-linus. Not drm-next. Will fix guide. Thanks.

edit: fixed.

git pull (airlied's tree) drm-linus

Cheers!

To fix your problem, run these commands in this exact order.

git reset --hard
git add .
git pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/airlied/drm-2.6.git drm-linus

Dont forget the ending dot in the second line.
