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

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)

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.

dont do the make distcleans then. same for -ati DDX. i thought you already had it cloned. sorry

Hi Neo_The_User, I had this output error:

@Neo_The_User
There is what looks like an updated procedure on the X.Org wiki to get the drm-next source in one go:

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/airlied/drm-2.6.git
cd drm-2.6
git checkout -b drm-next origin/drm-next

I am trying this now - do I still need to change "drm-next" in the last line to "drm-linus"? I tried the procedure in your earlier post, but still got (different) merge conflicts.

@martinez
I think you probably need a package like xorg-x11-util-macros - see here (http://wiki.x.org/wiki/radeonhd#head...d71ee38109b876), para 11.2

i think hes missing a tool called libtool

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool

cheers mates!

edit: post the conflicts for the drm-linus tree and ill fix it.

You were right, I needed "libtools", and also needed "pthread-stubs" & "xutils-dev".
So, for the "libdrm_radeon" compilation all went OK, but for the "ati DDX" compilation, I get this message while trying "sudo make install" inside the "xf86-video-ati" folder:

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

Any ideas? Do you need any output from the compilation?

Has autogen.sh no problems found? And don't Copy&Paste Commands!!!!

and on Ubuntu you can Compile and install the ddx from git with

git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati
cd xf86-video-ati
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

[rmartinez]

autogen.sh is giving the following error:

./configure: line 11526: syntax error near unexpected token `XINERAMA,'
./configure: line 11526: `XORG_DRIVER_CHECK_EXT(XINERAMA, xineramaproto)'

I tried installing every package it had something to do with xinerama... But it didn't work. I know I'm missing something... Thanks!
