Compiz Running With Mesa On R600/700 GPUs

Cool!

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

Slow movie And a message; **** Your system is too SLOW to play this! ***

Possible reasons, problems, workarounds:
- Most common: broken/buggy _audio_ driver
  - Try -ao sdl or use the OSS emulation of ALSA.
  - Experiment with different values for -autosync, 30 is a good start.
- Slow video output
  - Try a different -vo driver (-vo help for a list) or try -framedrop!
- Slow CPU
  - Don't try to play a big DVD/DivX on a slow CPU! Try some of the lavdopts,
    e.g. -vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts lowres=1:fast:skiploopfilter=all.
- Broken file
  - Try various combinations of -nobps -ni -forceidx -mc 0.
- Slow media (NFS/SMB mounts, DVD, VCD etc)
  - Try -cache 8192.
- Are you using -cache to play a non-interleaved AVI file?
  - Try -nocache.

I'm using the ebuilds from the x11 overlay (modified to grab agd5f's versions and the correct branches) and everything seems to work ok: 43 fps in glxgears and 2 fps in mplayer -vo gl (fullscreen) :P

I just get this:

$ glxgears 
IRQ's not enabled, falling back to busy waits: 2 16
213 frames in 5.0 seconds = 42.487 FPS

when running glxgears but I've seen other people with the same message, so I assume it's normal. There is also some random flickering/noise in the glxgears window.

Could you post that ebuild? I know a little bit about writing ebuilds, but I'd probably mess it up.

I know I could change the Git uri, but where did you put the branch change? src_configure()? Can't remember the function's name off the top of my head right now.

Also, which ebuild is it? libdrm?

You have to modify x11-drm (the in-kernel version doesn't work) and libdrm. In both cases you have to add

EGIT_BRANCH="r6xx-r7xx-3d"

BEFORE the inherit line (actually I don't know if this is true, but I had some ebuilds fail to use the correct branch some time ago when I put it after the inherit line). Also you need to change the EGIT_REPO_URI in both ebuilds to

EGIT_REPO_URI="git://anongit.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/drm"

For mesa and xf86-video-ati you can use the 9999 versions in the x11 overlay untouched, I suppose. I just modified the mesa ebuild to build only the r600 part (instead of r200, r300, etc).

This is the diff for the three ebuilds:

Libdrm from fdo git master should be fine, just change the x11-drm.

Slow movie And a message; **** Your system is too SLOW to play this! ***
Audio is perfect.

[gl2] You have OpenGL >= 1.2 capable drivers, GOOD (16bpp and BGR is ok!)

So playing video with OpenGL only requires OpenGL 1.2?

I am satisfied

[mdias]

I installed it, and according to Xorg.0.log everything loads beautifully (including r600_dri.o), however glxgears still works as before (~550 fps, still looks software rendered) and I see no trace of 3D acceleration at all. Any help?
kernel: 2.6.30

[edit] The following line appears on the log, not sure if it has anything to do with it:
(II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI2 capable


That said, I'd like to thank everyone envolved in the development of this drivers! I'm really looking forward to see this thing kicking butt in the future

I can tell which you use by

[root@amd ~]# glxinfo |grep -i opengl
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics
OpenGL version string: 2.1.8543 Release
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
OpenGL extensions:
[root@amd ~]#

You can see that I use the Catalyst drivers here. If it says something about "DRI" you use Open Source.

Thanks. That patch was really convenient once I realized that the x11 overlay is just a git repo.

Thank you for the tip.
It is as I thought, I'm using the Software Rasterizer

OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.5
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
OpenGL extensions:

I can't seem to find why though... Xorg.0.log shows no errors at all, it loads the DRM driver just fine.
I have a 3870 btw...
