DRI3 Support Finally Added To AMD's Radeon X.Org Driver

[drago01]

modesetting driver (one from xserver 1.17) already have DRI3 and DRI2 support, AFAIK.

But no pageflip that is being worked on.

Well yeah i guess modesetting wouldn't be generic driver if everything works

I miss YUY2 Xv format in any glamorified driver

So does this mean vsync may finally be supported on rotated monitors?

Anyone can help on what to put in xorg.conf to force enable dri3 ?

Thx

Create a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf (filename doesn't actually mean anything, it just needs to end with .conf I think and the number at the beginning is for the order in which the config files are applied)

Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Radeon"
   Driver      "radeon"
   Option      "DRI"  "3"
EndSection

("Identifier" doesn't actually matter, but I think one is needed)

Thanks for the quick answer :-)

I thought xorg.conf was for user overrides and xorg.conf.d for installed snippets. Not that it in reality matters

Example conf file and Video

A simple example should be

david@amdgaming:~$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-glamor-dri3.conf 
Section "Device"
        Identifier	"hd_7970"
        Driver		"radeon"
	Option		"DRI3" 
        Option		"AccelMethod"		"glamor"
EndSection

Error

I get this error:

[ 30290.197] (II) RADEON(0): SYNC extension fences disabled because misyncshm.h not available at build time
[ 30290.197] (WW) RADEON(0): DRI3 disabled

'misyncshm.h' is present on my system. Any thoughts? (Arch Linux, xorg-server 1.17.1)

/usr/include/xorg/misyncshm.h is owned by xorg-server-devel 1.17.1-4
