  • Xv on R600

    I have Radeon HD2600 card, and ive instaled xf86-video-ati 6.12.2, ati-dri 7.4.2, mesa 7.4.2, kernel 2.6.29.4.

    Unfortunately i cannot get Xv video
    Code:
    X-Video Extension version 2.2
    screen #0
     no adaptors present
    In X log i get error:
    Code:
    └─[$]> cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE
    Current Operating System: Linux dinth-archlinux 2.6.29-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed May 20 07:06:02 UTC 2009 i686
            (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
    (II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
    (EE) Failed to load module "freetype" (module does not exist, 0)
    (EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed to open the DRM
    (EE) RADEON(0): Acceleration initialization failed
    It is possible get Xv video now, without using svn builds on R600 card ?

    To my knowledge, no it is not. As I recall, it's actually the kernel DRM that is in the way. I've personally been using the r6xx-67xx-support branch for a while, though hopefully that will end soon. (Maybe as soon as next week? I've not been following things too close of late.)

      You need drm update or kernel 2.6.30.

          He is using Arch-Linux.

          @Dinth: Install a package from AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24235 . This package build new drm kernel modules without overwriting the old ones.
          And you have to enable EXA and DRI in the xorg.conf.

                No, it installs the modules in the updates folder. They will automatically be used. If you want to use the old modules remove the package.

                  I finally get Xv to work. Unfortunately, desktop effects in KDE4 still dont work (i have DRI enabled in xorg.conf)

                  Code:
                  (II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI2 capable
                  drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
                  drmOpenDevice: open result is 10, (OK)
                  drmOpenByBusid: Searching for BusID pci:0000:01:00.0
                  drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
                  drmOpenDevice: open result is 10, (OK)
                  drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns 10
                  drmOpenByBusid: drmGetBusid reports pci:0000:01:00.0
                  (EE) AIGLX error: Calling driver entry point failed(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

                    r600 cards do not have 3D acceleration with the open source drivers, at least not in any form usable for end-users.
