Radeon R600 Tiling Patches Are Ready

[ChrisXY]

my display card is 6950

i apply the patch to kernel 3.3-rc3, when glxgear

xorg will crash, anyone has similar problem?

glxgears works but I just had this with the firefox gecko mediaplayer plugin:

can anyone upload kernel deb packages? i tried drm-next from 5 days ago. i guess its not in drm-next yet.

i don't know how to make .deb, so i just patch the 3.3-rc3 kernel.

instruction: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archive...ry/018658.html

P.S. As i mentioned, my Xorg crashed.

As easy as fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image kernel_headers

o i c, but my kernel config is tuned to work for my pc only.

xorg config for switchable graphics

Anyone know how to create a working xorg.conf for intel/radeon switchable graphics? Switching works perfectly for me until I create a config file (complete with bus ID for both the intel and radeon cards) at which point X seems to hang whenever trying to switch to the radeon card. If there is no working solution to this, it sure would be great to get the 2D tiling as an option that could be set using an env variable.

Anyone know how to create an xorg config that works with intel/radeon switchable graphics? Switching works fine for me until I try to create a config file (for adding the 2D tiling option). With the config file, X hangs when switching to the radeon card causing a hard lock. I included the bus ID's of both cards in the config, but still no go. It sure would be nice to have 2D tiling able to be set as an env variable like so many other options!

I second that. vga_switcheroo only works fine when there's no xorg.conf created

As easy as fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image kernel_headers

Or "make defconfig && make deb-pkg"
(to get a generic kernel)
I would suggest some changes from defconfig, though

I pushed a fix to ddx upstream it should be ok now.

Are you people looking into that problem: http://phoronix.com/forums/showthrea...932#post249932

Or should I open a proper bug report at the freedesktop bugtracker?

Further information is: The resolution of the laptop screen doesn't influence the buggy behaviour as long as the right screen has 1600x1200.
When I reduce the right screen's resolution to 1680x1050 or lower the screen corruption of the laptop screen is gone, however the right screen's upper boundary is quite above what xrandr thinks it is.

On the following screenshot the arandr window is at the very top of what is visible on the right screen, the whole area above it is NOT on the screen anymore.


It's not only with the HDMI output, the VGA output has the same problem.
HD 6550M by the way.
