Can't enable Gallium3D on R700 (4650)

[JDShu]

I have the xorg-edgers/ppa and xorg-edgers/radeon ppas. I think gallium is enabled but I'm not sure. What I do know is that programs don't run as well with gallium as they did last month. Am I doing something wrong?

Hello,

you should build mesa with --enable-gallium-r600 to activate gallium driver, and you don't need to use that option in xorg.conf.

Thanks. Turns out that the newest mesa/radeon in xorg-edgers lost that option. However, I installed the packages from xorg-edgers/radeon and gallium was enabled by default.

Hi,

I can't enable Gallium3D on my system. System Specs:

Distro: Ubuntu 10.10 (Linux Mint 10)

Kernel: 2.6.37-020637-generic

xorg-edgers PPA added, Mesa 7.11-git, xf86-video-ati 6.13.99

When I add Option "ForceGallium" "True" in xorg.conf, Xorg log says Option "ForceGallium" not used.

Another question: How can I install 2.6.38? Latest kernel build in kernel ppa is 2.6.37-999

Any help will be appreciated.
