A lot of opengl operations get accelerated.

No unfortunately at this moment no composit or render accelleration. This will work on all R3X0 chips the 9700 is one of them.

This IS the opensource radeon driver. Support for older pre 9500 cards was already in mesa. Then a project started to reverse engineer the r300 driver (website) which got meged in mesa cvs recently.

If you have a Xserver installed which uses exa then you should be able to get a really snappy desktop, but AFAIK exa is only in xorg-server. |

True if the driver supports it, the radeon driver still uses xaa unfortunately...

It needs a lot of rework i'm steel learning to make scripts.
This is my first, i'll try during this weekend to make the script in english.
The script is intended to install mesa libraries after the step "make linux-dri"
Every advice would be apreciated.

If you have a Xserver installed which uses exa then you should be able to get a really snappy desktop, but AFAIK exa is only in xorg-server. |
Just installed xorg-server 7.0 RC1 and it greatly simplifies the process of getting DRI/3D working  (using xorg-server 7.0rc1 with kernel 2.6.14rc5 makes everything work out of the box, no cvs drm/mesa needed  ) - however EXA is only accelrated for core operations on R300, so no render accell just yet  - |

These errors are because of missing libdrm... Did you install these

I am going through the whole guide again, and I'm noticing that this time around, when i get to cvs checkout Mesa, it seems to be getting many more things than the first time I did it, hopefully it works this time around
EDIT:
i do not get direct rendering.
| Code: |
modprobe radeon
WARNING: Error inserting drm (/lib/modules/2.6.13-gentoo-r3/kernel/drivers/char/drm/drm.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
FATAL: Error inserting radeon (/lib/modules/2.6.13-gentoo-r3/kernel/drivers/char/drm/radeon.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
|
EDIT2: I guess id rather keep editing this one instead of pissing people off
just curious, i got it working after noticing the post about making sure the right chipset module was activated
but i get this now, just wondering if its a big deal:
| Code: |
glxinfo | grep -i "direct rendering"
*********************************WARN_ONCE*********************************
File r300_state.c function r300Enable line 456
TODO - double side stencil !
***************************************************************************
No ctx->FragmentProgram._Current!!
direct rendering: Yes
|
any ideas? |

They are reminders for the devs so you can ignore those. WHen playing a game like cube or quake a few of these will be in the log.

Does r300 work with radeon 9550 series too ? (those found in new ibooks)
How would it be to get this to work on modular X ? I suppose the idea is to just get 'newer' or cvs versions of certain components, and maybe even possible to easily make ebuilds for those components and put them in the overlay for easy install with the rest of the modular X components ? |

It should work with that card also - if you install the latest modular xorg package and a kernel never than 2.6.13 then it should all work right out of the box (i.e. you do not even need to folow my guidelines with compiling drm/mesa from cvs). I haveit running just fine here. |

Thanks. But with that configuration I don't get direct rendering:
| Code: | $ glxinfo |grep "direct rendering"
direct rendering: No |
in xorg.conf:
| Code: | Section "Device"

Driver "radeon"

EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
Load "extmod"
Load "dri"
Load "record"
Load "glx"
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
EndSection
Section "DRI"
Group 0
Mode 0666
EndSection
|
in Xorg.0.log I find:
| Code: | (WW) ****INVALID IO ALLOCATION**** b: 0xf0000400 e: 0xf00004ff correcting^G

And then:

Well I did nothing special, I installed the latest modular xorg, kernel 2.6.14rc5 with drm and radeon modules - then I fired up X and get the following in the logs (which indikate that DRI is working (also I can play games so there is no doubt )):
| Code: |
(II) RADEON(0): [DRI] installation complete
(II) RADEON(0): [drm] Added 32 65536 byte vertex/indirect buffers
(II) RADEON(0): [drm] Mapped 32 vertex/indirect buffers
(II) RADEON(0): [drm] dma control initialized, using IRQ 11
(II) RADEON(0): [drm] Initialized kernel GART heap manager, 5111808
(II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering enabled
|
Note that I did the modular xorg installation on a clean machine (i.e. I wiped out my prior Gentoo installation and installed from scratch (using jackass)). Also note that glxgears need to be installed from spyderous overlay or directly from source.

| I have kernel-2.6.14-rc5 too. I made a clean install with modular X too, and I used glx-utils ebuild from gentopia which provides glxinfo/glxgears... |

Please verify if your Board PCI ID is registered in file radeon_screen.c
If it's not you'll have to add it manually!
lspci |grep ATI
now you can see the PCI ID
lspci -n |grep 0300
with this you check again PCI ID, and get Chip ID it's after 1002:XXXX
then check if your PCI ID match!
make the patch!

By the way a few hours ago, Aapo Tahkola implemented a patch that gives support to GL_ARB_texture_cube_map, also had done a little cleanup/bug fixes. Even so s3t textures are still a little broken so don't expect clear textures (only crisp textures at least if you are from objects (in games like ET, RTCW), if you are near the object s3tc work well (Bahh, known bug!!)) |

so it means my pci ID is "4e56" ? that's what I need to add to radeon_screen.c ? So it means I need to get mesa/dri source and manually compile, or maybe I can add the patch to the ebuild of it ? |

The best way to install r300, is to use all sources from CVS, although Xorg RC1, is recent enought, but you need mesa 6.4 , and drm also.
But the best way is to install mesa and drm from cvs!!, Check front page.
In your case the patch becomes a little weard because i don't know the mobilty family can be included here (SPEC name from pciids.sf.net).
Never seen no FireGL mobility working with r300, please then give some feedback!!
for a quick test you probably could do something like this

I suppose the part that I need is the kernel module because I don't get anything under /dev/dri/
I will try to get a newer drm then and compile the 'radeon' kernel module. |

jJst did the same here and although I had DRI working with RC1 it does seam to work better with CVS. I will upgrade the guide for modular X as sson as I get the time. |

What did you do ? build the kernel module ? what did you do yo compile just the kernel module ? |

It's just how is written dri wiki.
About the dri part (fuoco), it's strange try to load drm, and radeon module before going to X. Does dmesg show anything strange.
Any sort fo errors in Xorg.log |
