Compiz Running With Mesa On R600/700 GPUs

Do you also use Arch? I thought, that the drm-modules from the kernel are overwritten by the drm-modules-r6xx-r7xx-3d package. There should be no difference if you remove the original kernel modules.

Yes, I do.
Actually, there is one because the 3D functions does not exist in the mainline DRM. So, the driver does not use it and so I get close to no-corruption on screen.

I will soon (this week end?) set up a nightly-build system on my computer to compile all the packages from GIT and upload them on my repository (accessible from here http://mupuf.org/packages/).
I will build the 64bit packages, if someone wants to build the 32bits edition, this could be great

PS: My server is down for the moment because of an OVH problem. So, if it doesn't work, wait a bit and try to refresh again

[Perry3D]

Same here, I'll upload a video tonight

PS: to make my system usable, I removed the drm package from the kernel. I just have minor screen corruption now and it works quite fast (gtkperf is under 4 seconds!) but, of course, no 3D support

Using libdrm-git, mesa-git, glproto-git, dri2proto-git, libgl-git, ati-dri-r6xx-r7xx, xf86-video-ati-git (all from AUR on Arch) I now have desktop effects working on KDE (with a lot of artifacts) and glxgears is getting about 500fps on my HD3200

Might be specific to the zen kernel.

thanks agd5f and nanonyme

it most probably was a problem with zen3 - I read in fgo (forums.gentoo.org) that some parts of drm/graphics related stuff seem to be missing in that release,

now I'm running 2.6.31-rc5-zen0 and it compiled fine

compositing and/or GL is now working with compiz (indirect-rendering) and kwin (opengl backend)

with compiz the screen flashes during each refreshing of the screen it seems

with kwin (4.3) the performance seems to be somewhat better, after some time it however pauses/suspends compositing because it's too slow

great work guys !

the drivers are really getting into a feature-rich and productive state with big steps

thanks a lot

my next graphics card (most probably) also will be an AMD/ATI

[nanonyme]

That should be fixed in git. Also iirc that API change isn't supposed to happen in 2.6.30 but 2.6.31... (so yes, very likely specific to zen kernel; see if the bug persists on a stock 2.6.30)

[agd5f]

I'm using the modified ebuild for x11-base/x11-drm

anyone getting the same error message ?

kernel is 2.6.30-zen3

I keep a copy of Dogbert's Guide to Management on my desk just in case.

So it IS true. All managers are evil.

Evil doesn't come by its self. It have to be managed. -Dogbert
