R600g finally works well on my RV670. Kwin's 4.5.2 desktop effects now work (but blur does not work with both R600c and R600g) and I have similar performances in openarena (93 fps for R600c and 90 fps for R600g, Very High Quality at 2560x1600)

Originally posted by fiete View PostI just tried r600c and r600g with Ubuntu Maverick and xorg-edgers packages. I'm amazed to see that compiz and openarena actually works.
However, in games like openarena I was not able to move the mouse when running r600g or r600c. Any idea what I can do about it? Or is this in no way driver related?
I am hesitant to add the entire ppa to my repository list in case it over-writes everything in the Xorg stack and hoses my graphics install.

2 - delete /usr/lib/dri/r600_dri.so
3 - go to /usr/lib/dri/galium, create link to r600_dri.so and copy it to /usr/lib/dri/
4 - restart
rather than do #2, I renamed the file to r600c_dri.so
There is no directory /usr/lib/dri/galium so I did not complete any part of step #3 or #4.
I re-named the file r600c_dri.so back to r600_dri.so
Kwin compositing still does not work in maverick.

I will go to the "KDE doesn't work thread and check there.
But thanks for your help anyway. Gallium is going to be very interesting.

I am more than a bit frustrated with Kwin right now. It used to work fine.

You could try a drm next kernel. For ubuntu you can download compiled packages from:

A few days ago, when I last tested r600g, it could not run KWin on my system. r600c is perfect.
Something seriously borked within Kwin I would think.
