 Posted: Mon Oct 28, 2002 7:45 pm Post subject: Radeon DRI Problems |
 |
|
I've read a few threads about similar problems that I'm having with my Radeon and getting dri to work. The threads seem to not have any solutions so I'm just posting to see if anyone has finally got it to work with gentoo 1.4
My problem specifically is that when I run glxgears I just get a black window where normally the gears would be. My glxinfo shows that I have the correct dri modules loaded and that it is using it but nothing shows up in the glxgears window. The framerates I get are high ~750 fps so dri is enabled it's just not drawing anything to the screen
Any ideas??
Thanks

Hi!
I have radeon 9000pro and gentoo 1.2, and I'd like to get it work even 2d...
so couple questions:
- which radeon ?
- how did you do it ? even simple help please !
- did you try it in 1.2 gentoo or should I install 1.4rc1 gentoo too?
thanks

Ok I have a Radeon 64mb vivo oem so I guess they call that the Radeon7200 now.
Well I followed the FAQ/Manual at dri.sf.net they make the opensource drivers for the radeons. Give that a try. the Radeon9000 uses the same chipset as the radeon8500 i believe so you should probably follow the same intructions for that card.
I did have gentoo1.2 installed and it worked great for me but ever since I upgraded to gentoo1.4 I just can't get it to work. I've tried both the dri cvs drivers and the kernel drivers so I don't know what's wrong!

Radeon VE 64mb, SDR
$ glxgears
925 frames in 5.0 seconds = 185.000 FPS
1072 frames in 5.0 seconds = 214.400 FPS
1072 frames in 5.0 seconds = 214.400 FPS
1073 frames in 5.0 seconds = 214.600 FPS
1071 frames in 5.0 seconds = 214.200 FPS
1072 frames in 5.0 seconds = 214.400 FPS
1073 frames in 5.0 seconds = 214.600 FPS
1070 frames in 5.0 seconds = 214.000 FPS
1072 frames in 5.0 seconds = 214.400 FPS
Broken pipe
From my XF86Config
Section "Module"
# This loads the DBE extension module.
Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension
Load "v4l" # Video for Linux
# This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables
# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.
SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension
EndSubSection
# This loads the Type1 and FreeType font modules
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
# This loads the GLX module
Load "glx"
Load "dri" #direct rendering
EndSection
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
Hope this helps. I "cheated" and copied the pertinent info from my mandrake partition. |

My guess is this thread is the solution to your problem if you are using GCC3.2 and XFree86 4.2.1.
Short answer: it's due to X needing less aggressive optimization than -O3. |
