 Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2006 6:07 pm Post subject: Radeon 9200, X11R7, AMD64 and direct rendering: Possible? |
 |
|
Hello guys,
I just installed the modular xorg-x11 7.0 and it works great in 2D mode. Composite accelerated by EXA is awesome.
Now the second step is to get also 3D acceleration with direct rendering working.
The status is:
When I have this
| Code: |
Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "extmod"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
Load "drm"
EndSection
|
and this:
| Code: |
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Radeon 9200"
Driver "radeon"
Option "AGPMode" "8"
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
Option "AGPFastWrite" "True"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "True"
Option "SubPixelOrder" "NONE"
EndSection
|
in my xorg.conf, direct rendering is not working and I get the following errors:
In Xorg.0.log:
| Code: |
(WW) RADEON(0): [agp] AGP not available
(EE) RADEON(0): [agp] AGP failed to initialize. Disabling the DRI.
(II) RADEON(0): [agp] You may want to make sure the agpgart kernel module
is loaded before the radeon kernel module.
|
and in dmesg:
| Code: |
[drm:radeon_cp_init] *ERROR* radeon_cp_init called without lock held, held 0 owner 0000000000000000 ffff81003ce02780
[drm:drm_unlock] *ERROR* Process 4823 using kernel context 0
|
OK, I thought, no problem. So let's load agpgart before starting X. But this didn't change anything, the situation stayed the same.
Then I remembered there was also a module called amd64-agp.
Maybe this was also needed to have full AGP support. So I loaded amd64-agp and agpgart,
and started X.
BUMM. A black screen, the system completely locked up and I had to push the reset button.
After booting I looked at Xorg.0.log and everything inside was still from the previous X-startup without the amd64-agp module loaded. Also nothing exciting in syslog.
So there is nothing but the black screen that I can give you as an error report.
I have a 2.6.14-nitro2 kernel.
All the HOWTOs and threads about radeon acceleration say nothing about an amd64-agp module. So I thought it would be a better idea to ask this question in this forum:
What could I do now?
Thanks for any help.

Would you please try reproducing this with a supported kernel such as one built from the gentoo-sources or vanilla-sources packages? If this only happens with the Nitro-patched kernel, I'll move it to Unsupported Software.
Also, are you using any weird/new options, such as EXA and/or Composite? If so, have you tried it without these options?

Ok, now I'm running vanilla 2.6.15 and I have only the following options in my xorg.conf:
| Code: |
Section "Module"
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "extmod"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
Load "drm"
EndSection
|
| Code: |
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Radeon 9200"
Driver "radeon"
EndSection
|
No Composite, no EXA, just plain default but of course with glx, dri and drm.
The behaviour is exactly the same as explained in the first post. Same errors, same black screen.
So the problem doesn't seem to be caused by the additional xorg.conf options or the nitro kernel...

Bump.
Same problem 9200 + Modular X + dri + glx + amd64_agp -> xserver I/O frezee (screen, keyboard) however computer still works.
without amd64_agp -> it doesn't detect agp, disables dri
without glx -> detects agp, loads dri, but obviously there is no gl
without dri -> of course no accel
.... very annoying 
Note: I'm using x86 arch, not x86_64 .... this has any relation? |

I have a Radeon 9250, an AMD 64, and have full 3d accleration. I'm at work right now, but when I get home, I'll give you the stuff required to get it working.

After 2 days, and trying a hell of combinations, I managed it to work. To change the AGPMode to 8 made the magic for me (with monolithic Xorg I had to use '4' here).
| Code: | Option "AGPMode" "8"
#Option "AGPFastWrite" "True"
|
@Ypsilon: AGPFastWrite used to hang this card so better disable it. I'll post my new xorg conf if you need it. Regards. |

| I also have AMD64 + Ati Mobility Radeon 9200 and X.org 7.0 it works fine but FPS are only 250 while glxinfo reports that direct rendering is enabled. Could you help me? Maybe you will send you xorg.conf to cot@58909.copi.ru? |

Please delete this because this is in the wrong section
/EDIT
Tiny bit of an old topic, but I'm having a similar issue. I configured the kernel to have sis-agp which should work for
my chipset and dmesg says: | Quote: | Linux agpgart interface v0.101 (c) Dave Jones
agpgart: Detected SiS 645 chipset
agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xe0000000 |
I installed x11-drm with the "radeon" video card driver.
