 Posted: Tue Apr 25, 2006 11:17 pm Post subject: Xorg and accelerated video on a Radeon? |
 |
|
I've been pouring over the forums, but I haven't found anything that works for me yet. Anyone get the ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] working on a SunBlade 1000?
I have the frame buffer one working as is talked about here... but I was hoping to get the accelerated driver working...
uname -a
| Code: |
Linux transcendence 2.6.15-gentoo-r8 #4 Wed Apr 19 00:16:11 CDT 2006 sparc64 sun4u GNU/Linux
|
I patched x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6 to find the card on my PCI bus
lspci (just the video card)
| Code: |
0001:00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE]
|
here's the various stuff I've tried (what is uncommented is what I'm running now, but in unaccelerated mode.. commented stuff is stuff I've tried to switch on and off)
| Code: |
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
# Driver "radeon"
Driver "fbdev"
VideoRam 32768
BusID "PCI:00@0001:01:00"
ChipID 0x5159
Option "reference_clock" "27.0 MHz"
# IOBase 0x04000000
# NO! IOBase 0x00140000
# NO! IOBase 0x00000500
#Option "BusType" "PCI"
#Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT"
#Option "UseFBDev" "true"
EndSection
|
It finds my card OK, loads ati and radeon modules, and then just exists saying: Screens(s) found but none of them have a usable configuration.
Is this supposed to work?
Let me know if I should post more.. I kept it brief in case the answer is "nope doesn't work"  |

| I have a Radeon 7000 as well, works well here (no SunBlade). I use the radeon driver from xorg-x11 though, needs the kernel module agpgart, via-agp (or whatever chipset), drm and radeon (all as modules). |

| So, on a different kind of sparc? I can't get the drm modules to compile on my sparc (x11-drm package right?) |

| I don't have a sparc... You can get direct rendering with the card by using the xorg-drivers for the radeon card, so why compiling x11-drm? You can build xorg-x11 and use the radeon driver. The only thing needed are agpgart, the agp driver for your chipset (via-agp, intel-agp..), drm and radeon compiled as modules... |

I am using the xorg-x11 radeon driver as well (/usr/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so). I thought you were talking about the drm stuff... my bad. I'm not using any x11-drm stuff, as it won't compile.
I have the drm and radeon kernel options compiled as modules as well... but ya, they don't seem to function without the MTRR or the AGP stuff...
which....
As far as I can tell, the agpgart and MTRR kernel options are not valid options in the kernel config for 2.6.15-gentoo-r8 for sparc.
/usr/src/linux/drivers/char/agp/Kconfig
| Code: |
config AGP
tristate "/dev/agpgart (AGP Support)" if !GART_IOMMU
depends on ALPHA || IA64 || PPC || X86
default y if GART_IOMMU
....
|
... no SPARC64 in the "depends" line there. Are you saying it should be in there? |
