Compiz Running With Mesa On R600/700 GPUs

[tball]

Anyone know why I get this?

(EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/r600_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/r600_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

I have installed mesa-git, xf86-video-ati-git and drm-radeon-module-git-r6xx-r7xx-3d from aur Arch.

I don't mind doing the installation by hand, but I like my system to stay clean.

This is what I have in my /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/

ls /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/
libdricore.so  r200_dri.so  r300_dri.so  radeon_dri.so  swrast_dri.so

EDIT:

I found out i had to install ati-dri-r6xx-r7xx also.

So please give a feedback, does it work.

What happens if you play a movie with xv and then with "mplayer -vo gl2" ?

I haven't tried it, but you would probably get a normal movie followed by a very slow movie

Agd5f is working on accelerating the copy from back-buffer to front-buffer; probably best to try after that is done.

No it doesn't :-( I mean it doesn give any error messages in Xorg.0.log, and it loads r600_dri.so just fine. Its just that kde won't start up.
It shows the splash, and then it go back to kdm startscreen again.

I have tried disabling kwin composite completely, and tried both the radeon and radeonhd driver. It just won't startup kde.

Where's this buffer copy code located, in DRM, Mesa or X driver? Just to known which git to watch

[tball]

You can try it yourself if you use Arch and yaourt. Just do this, and it should install all the dependecies like mesa-git and the drm.

sudo pacman -Rd mesa glproto dri2proto
yaourt -S ati-dri-r6xx-r7xx 
yaourt -Sd xf86-video-radeonhd-git

So motion blur is already implemented?

MPlayer have a lot of video outputs.

Which would probably give the best performance when copy have been accelerated?

It is probably this one.

I atleast have it in a tab and re-fresh it once in a while

Acutally I get error messages. I just looked them up in kdm.log. Any idea whats going wrong?

Every single login, it tries starting up the xserver 3 times it seems?

Amiga R5xx+ driver!

I forgot to say in my previous post what great news this is - it represents the light at the end of a multi-year tunnel filled with closed source GPU driver darkness, bugginess and things that crash in the night. Keep up the fantastic work ATI devs!

If you think that we've had a long wait for some decent FOSS ATI-HD drivers then you may want to consider the plight of the ever-optimistic Amiga community where (I think) just one extremely brave (is that the word I want?) coder is attempting to put together an R5xx+ driver for AmigaOS 4.x!!

Good luck with that one!
