For some reason my /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 doesn't get loaded
I tried manually loading the modules listed in the file and none seem to exist. I believe I have them all compiled into the kernel though. Still direct rendering isn't enabled. Shall I have them loaded as modules rather than compiled into the kernel?

Every time I try using radeon instead of Vesa, I get a black screen and the backlight turns off. I've tried the instructions but nothing works. Anyone have any ideas? I can still move into the terminals and alt + ctrl + backspace to restart the X server. I have a radeon IGP 320M

If you end up getting a monitor out of sync error/backlight turning off try adding

Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS"

That should help anyone out there, especially with a Compaq Presario 2140US or similair :).

I got dri working on my IGP 340M (Compaq Presario 2516EA).
Check out this howto: http://h00045ad2a5c0.ne.client2.attbi.com/jaydolan/igp.html. It worked great for me :)

I checked out the howto.

http://h00045ad2a5c0.ne.client2.attbi.com/jaydolan/igp.html
I am up to the patch for XFree86, but I noticed I have no such file xc/lib/GL/mesa/src/drv/radeon/radeon_screen.h.igp or xc/lib/GL/mesa/src/drv/radeon/radeon_screen.h anywhere at all. Perhaps that's where my problem lies. Anyone know how I can get those files to appear in my ~/xc directory?

Hi

I have a Fujitsu-siemens Amilo-A with IGP-320M and try to get working DRI.
I've tried a lot of solutions, but the result is always the same:
freezed, unusable machine, I had to reboot :cry:

What I'm tried:
kernel: gento-dev-sources 2.6.3-gentoo1 with and without the dri patch (http://bugs.xfree86.org/attachment.cgi?id=706&action=view)
X: xfree-4.3.99.16.ebuild + patch (http://bugs.xfree.org/attachment.cgi?id=723&action=view)

I can load the ati-agp, module the result is seem to be OK:
Code:

Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones
agpgart: Detected Ati IGP320/M chipset
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 423M
agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xf8000000


Loading the dri module without any problem
(I've tied booth the kernel's module and the module from pached xfree):
Code:

[drm] Initialized radeon 1.9.0 20020828 on minor 0


but when I'm starting X my machine freeze and the only way is reboot :cry:

What soud I do to get DRI work on my machine :?: [/url]

another try:

if I dont load ati-agp, and star X again:
X satrted without dri, and produce some error messages:
Code:

request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- char-major-226-0. error = 256
Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones
[drm] Initialized radeon 1.9.0 20020828 on minor 0

atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x7a on isa0060/serio0).


If I stop X, and load ati-agp and startx again:
X start witout dri, and the relevant dmesg:
Code:

agpgart: Detected Ati IGP320/M chipset
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 423M
agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xf8000000

atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x7a on isa0060/serio0).


I have no idea what can I do to make 3d working. :?

mizery de aria: Are you using Xfree 4.4.0 RC1 or RC2?
The patch for Xfree 4.4.0 is here: http://bugs.xfree86.org/attachment.cgi?id=1130&action=view
I hope that solves your problem.

I'm using XFree 4.3.99.16
I heard there were some licensing issues with 4.4.0 and there may be a fork.

Ok but how do I get 4.3.99.16 cause it is not in portage? And am I trying to install xfree4.3.99.16 and then patch it. There is so much in this thread that even after reading the official gentoo doc on drm, it is hard to know what you are actually supposed to be doing here. Do you need a certain version of xfree? If so do you need a certain patch? I am running kernel 2.6.4-rc2-mm1, is this alright to use with this xfree4.3.99.16ebuild and patch? Just some clarification on these matters would be nice since this thread covers a lot of time and many different releases of kernels xversions not to mention things being changed in portage due to liscensing issues with xfree.

Hi all,

I have XFree86 v. 4.3.99.902 built with the radeon patch (id 862 at bugs.xfree86.org) on a gentoo laptop with kernel 2.6.3-rc2-mm1. My laptop is an HP ze5300 with an ATI Radeon IGP 340M chip.

Using the patched radeon driver has enabled direct rendering, and I get ~500 with glxgears. I followed the instructions posted earlier in this thread. However, in trying to run ut2003 or tuxracer, I receive:

drmCommandWrite: -22
drmRadeonCmdBuffer: -22 (exiting)

I cannot seem to find documentation on this sort of behaviour anywhere.

It would be very appreciated to hear some comments on this. Perhaps I should repatch with the new XFree86-4.4.0?


A bit of info:
Code:

atp@myelin> lsmod | egrep '(radeon)|(agp)'

Module                  Size  Used by
radeon                131040  2
ati_agp                 7436    1
agpgart                27564  2 ati_agp


Code:

atp@myelin> dmesg | grep 'drm:radeon'

[drm:radeon_check_and_fixup_packets] *ERROR* Invalid R100 texture offset
[drm:radeon_emit_packets] *ERROR* Packet verification failed
[drm:radeon_cp_cmdbuf] *ERROR* radeon_emit_packets failed


Code:

atp@myelin> glxinfo | grep 'direct'
disabling TCL support
direct rendering: Yes

Hi,

I have a radeon IGP 340M here. I followed the instructions and got dri working (~500 FPS in glxgears, using xfree 4.4.0-rc2).

However I'm not able to play UT2004, since I get this error:
Code:

OpenGL Error: GL_INVALID_ENUM (UOpenGLRenderDevice::Unlock)


The game starts (I can hear the sound) but I see nothing :? Does anybody knows about this error?

Another question: if I install dri-cvs will I have a complete X server or just the DRI stuff? How does the DRI-cvs X server relates to Xfree86? Are they synced at every release? I am a bit confused....

hi...i'm strunggeling with the same problem here...dri works...i get ~400fps in 24bit-mode watching movies with mplayer -vo xv|sdl, glxgears and so on works perfectly, but trying to start ut2004 hangs the laptop (could not see the error you saw, cause the whole screen was black), and mplayer -vo gl|gl2 gives no video, but black screen ... dunno why :/ maybe opengl in the driver is broken/incomplete/buggy?

Hey, i've got a question

in my dmesg output, i get the following,

Code:

#>dmesg
...
Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones
agpgart: Detected Ati IGP345M chipset
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 380M
agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xd4000000
[drm] Initialized radeon 1.9.0 20020828 on minor 0
...


so am i right in thinking that my kernel is configured correctly for direct rendering, and i just need to mess with XFree?
I am using unaltered gentoo-dev-sources by the way.
thanks.

PostPosted: Fri Apr 02, 2004 1:46 pm    Post subject: radeon mobility igp 320-340, xorg and xserver? Reply with quote

Do you know something about dri enabling for this card in the new freedesktop xorg (xorg the fork of xfree, not xserver the new x implementation...)?
I know that many patches which were not been included in xfree 4.4.0 are now included in xorg (and my friends using it with ati cards in the latest fedora are very happy :--)) ). May be that also the patch for radeon mobility igp 320-340 has been included... May be therefore that using mm-sources-2.6.5 and xorg one can have dri enabled for this card without patching anything... Is it only a dream?
Now I have dri enabled using mm-sources-2.6.5 (with its functioning radeon module) and patched xfree 4.3.99.16... But it seems now clear that xorg is our immediate future, and xserver our remote future, so I would be happy to abandon XFree!

As an alternative, do you know if there is a patch for xorg?

As a last question, did anyone try the xserver ebuild on these cards? I know that at the moment there is no dri in xserver, but I would be curious to know how xserver works in general for them.
Thanks for any information.

hi there!

I got my igp 320M to work fine. but now, a new issue arise!!!
Well, i've had a hand on a "Hewlett Packard Ultra VGA 1024" monitor. Having 2 monitors could be a neat feature but unfortunately it doesn't work !!!

Using vesa drivers, both my laptop monitor and the HP one work, but no DRI.
Using radeon, I got DRI enabled, but only the laptop monitor works. The other one stay blank ( flickering by time ). Nevertheless, if i switch to a virtual console, i got both working :?

Has anybody had 2 monitors working on an IGP 320M yet?
Any idea how this could be fixed?

tks

I just wanted to post a quick and LOUD THANK YOU! to everyone participating in this thread and esp. to captnjameskirk for the HOWTO on page 2.

I just ran through it...and it WORKS!

Presario 2110CA with 3D accel working like a DREAM!

(I'm running kernel 2.6.3 so I skipped the kernel instructions although I checked to be sure I had the right options selected - not using framebuffer...right now I'm going with "if it ain't broke..don't fix it)

Just installed Quake3 arena (linux version) and it works AWESOME...

I was able to get IGP340M working on DRI.

I installed XFree4.3.99.902 (latest available in portage) and then downloaded and built DRI CVS as indicated here. The DRI CVS was installed over the existing installation of XFree.

It seems like now it is also possible to build DRI against Xorg, but I've not tried yet.

I get >610 FPS in glxgears at 16 bit. Tuning helped a lot (esp. AGPMode to 4x, AGPFastWrite, PageFlip and AGP aperture size - see my configs below). I got working blender, UT2004, xmms OpenGL plugins, Chromium (~45 FPS) and Legends. Also KDE OpenGL plugins work.

The only glitch happens when changing resolution: when I'm not on 1024x768 I get strange behaviours, also in 2D and with DRI disabled. I guess DRI radeon driver has some issues recently, because two or three weeks ago I had no problems like these (but 3D was not working very well).

You basically have two choices: Xinerama or MergedFB. Xinerama works well but without acceleration and it is slower. With MergedFB (similar to NVIDIA's TwinView) you have DRI also in dual-head configuration and it is very fast. You can go here for more information. My XF86Config for Xinerama:

      Modes    "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
   EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "DRI"
   Group        27
   Mode         0666
EndSection


As you see in mergedFB mode all the configuration options for the second head go into the "Device" section.

Hope this helps!

hi!

tks yardbird.
But still not perfect :( .

Either using xinerama or mergedfb, i got the same result : the external monitor is obviously recognized as when i startx, i can drag the mouse cursor into a virtual area, but unfortunately, the external CRT screen turns to standby mode.

Weird though !!

Hello all,

I just started using Gentoo about two weeks ago. So far thanks to these forums I have managed to get everything running with much trouble. I managed to get my 320M working (about 450-480 fps, seems to bo about normal). My problem now is tuxracer. When I load it up all I get is a light blue screen. I get sound just fine. I have reemerged tuxracer but still no luck. Anyone have any ideas.

Maybe the settings for the external monitor are not correct? I'm mainly thinking about refresh rates. Try setting them to very conservative values, like 60 Hz horizontal sync.

For those wondering, I got my IGP 340m up and running perfectly with the xorg-x11 server and DRI from cvs. It was very quick and painless. First off, install the xorg-x11 server (search forums for tips/guides on this), then install dri from cvs using [url]dri.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/Building[/url]. Make sure to follow the instructions to install under X.org rather than XFree86. Good luck

Thanks a lot pens, I love you. I have lost hope to see dri working with xorg, I followed your insctructions and it worked like a charm for my igp 320m too. There is just one thing I've to change in the dri howto : I didnt have a Makefile.linux in drm/linux , just Makefile and Makefile.kernel. But it worked fine with Makefile to build the radeon.ko.

There is yet one funny thing : I had 400 fps without dri and now I've 200 fps. :)
For my 2 others pc, activating dri gives me a big acceleration on glxgears (400 fps to 4000 or 5000 fps). But anyway it works :)
