Well that one can explain some performance problems.



There is a bug i hitting too with 32bit apps, is it dota2 32bit?

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83436

Workaround i found is to compile at least 32bit mesa with -mtune=native . That happens when you use 3.17+ kernel in combination with mesa 10.3+.

Hell yeah!! this do the trick.
However I have used -march=pentium3 like in oibaf repository.
FPS now are back to 60 fps with my self compiled kernel and mesa stack.

I'll try to dig more and find out wich is the better option between -march=pentium3 and -mtune=native.
Sounds like your choice is better.


EDIT: about drm warning/error.
My GPU temperature with che custom 3.17 is always at 39?. Probably this drm fail disable dpm.

The only hint I've found is this error/warning in dmesg.

drm:si_dpm_set_power_state failed

Well that one can explain some performance problems.

But I don't know if it's related since graphics on 64bit run always flawlessly. I mean unigine benchmarks.

Well, kernel command what happens in userspace - eg. in mesa there is a code which depends how it will behave depending on what kernel you run. So it always depends what particular versions of software and drivers you run, some combinations works perfect, and some may bahave much worse or have bugs...

But at first look at the logs and outputs of some commands: Xorg.0.log, glxinfo, dmesg... those usually can say something. If not, look at the output of the game you run...

You mean running steam with MESA_DEBUG=1 variable and so on?
Running steam from terminal doesn't print out errors.

I'm sorry for re-use this 3d but I think it's related with my current problem.

My building script is working like a charme (again thanks dungeon), but I tried to compile my own kernel and I run into trouble.
Long story short :
- self compiled kernel+stock mesa/ddx/xserver/libdrm dota2 runs at ~60fps
- stock Debian kernel (from sid)+ self compiled mesa/ddx/xserver/libdrm dota2 runs at ~60fps
- self compiled kernel+self compiled mesa stack dota2 runs at 2fps.

Wtf???

I am not here every day . As i see drm libs goes to wrong dir, which is actually fine for upstream but not for debian, so you need to adjust that with something like --libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

BTW, why don't you build proper packages when they are there as i see

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-xorg/lib/libdrm.git/

Thank you very much dungeon

I'm really sorry for these noob problems, but I don't know how to solve them.

Today I've compiled mesa from git. It fails because now requires libdrm=>2.4.56 and I have only 2.4.55.
So I've compiled and installed libdrm from git (2.4.56), but mesa continues to complain about libdrm lower than 2.4.56. Why?

This is my lidrm deb builder:

 ...
pkgversion=$(git describe --tags) &&
pkgversion=${pkgversion#libdrm-} &&
fakeroot checkinstall --install=no --replaces libdrm-intel1,libdrm-nouveau2,libdrm-radeon1,libdrm-dev --pkgname=libdrm --pkgversion="${pkgversion}" --pkgarch=amd64 --backup=no --default && ...

what's wrong?
