 Posted: Sun Sep 18, 2016 2:42 pm Post subject: Radeon RX 460 on gentoo |
 |
|
I got myself this nice new video card, but I can't get it to work properly on gentoo. I followed this guide, but it seems something is missing (or went wrong).
- What works: X is running, kernel module amdgpu is loaded
- What does not work: glxgears performs abysmal (60fps), can't really play WoW with wine due to graphics (d3d runs with 2fps and fluttering, opengl won't even start the game), lspci does not name the card (not important personally, but might hint at something)
- Version of stuff i'm running: Kernel 4.7.4, mesa 12.0.1. (no bindist), xf86-video-amdgpu 1.1.0, amdgpu-ucode 20160628
- Diagnostics:
| Quote: | Rambazamba xorg.conf.d # glxinfo |grep render
direct rendering: Yes
GLX_MESA_multithread_makecurrent, GLX_MESA_query_renderer,
GLX_MESA_multithread_makecurrent, GLX_MESA_query_renderer,

Seems ok.

Does not seem ok. Not sure about vesa, but shouldn't DRI2 work? I've tried using 10-device.conf from here to no avail. Full xorg log at http://pastebin.com/A1FmaQjY

Not sure about those items. It says software renderer, but afaik that's supposed to be the case for gallium.

Hi.
I had problems with OpenGL rendering being slow when I had opencl -USE-flag enabled on mesa.
If you don't need opencl, then you can disable it globally in make.conf and then | shell command: | | emerge --ask --deep --changed-use @world |
If you need OpenCL support then you need to unmask few packages to get things working: | /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/llvm contents: | =sys-devel/llvm-3.6.2 ~amd64
=sys-devel/clang-3.6.2-r100 ~amd64 |
If that's not the case then give the output of | shell command: | | equery u mesa |

Hi.
Your USE -flags seems to be ok.
However I noticed this:
I guess you should only have either amdgpu or radeon driver module loaded.
I have both Installed but my setup is multiseated. Other seat uses radeon and the other uses amdgpu. I had to create udev rules to seperate cards to each seat and I needed to create xorg.confs for both.
Easiest way for you, however, might be keeping only amdgpu drivers installed.

I removed the radeon driver, but the symptoms are still the same, mainly I can't play Wow anymore  Still though the log claim that DRI2 could not be initialized, which very much sounds like a problem.
I've put up a new Xorg log: http://pastebin.com/sBpG1GW7

You're right about that DRI problem.
This is only a guess now but, it looks like framebuffer driver is messing things up: | http://pastebin.com/sBpG1GW7: | [ 133.943] (II) Loading sub module "fb"
[ 133.943] (II) LoadModule: "fb"
[ 133.943] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/libfb.so
[ 133.943] (II) Module fb: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
[ 133.943] compiled for 1.18.4, module version = 1.0.0
[ 133.943] ABI class: X.Org ANSI C Emulation, version 0.4
[ 133.943] (II) UnloadModule: "amdgpu"
[ 133.943] (II) Unloading amdgpu
[ 133.943] (II) UnloadModule: "fbdev"
[ 133.943] (II) Unloading fbdev
[ 133.943] (II) UnloadSubModule: "fbdevhw"
[ 133.943] (II) Unloading fbdevhw |
Because right after loading fb module few other modules gets unloaded.
You might try to block fb module from loading...
Also wiki has a small troubleshooting section. But I don't think it's the case here since you have quite a new GPU model here.

Good point. But I guess you meant 'radeonsi' instead 'radeon'? 'radeon' is only mentioned at the end of the page. I've thought it does not concern polaris cards.
But hey. Just to be sure - should go for it.

Interesting. Although people tell that on RX 480 the performance is on par with the open source ones... I'd be interested on trying the -PRO drivers to get better OpenCL support. What Overlay you used to install those drivers?

Not in my experience. For instance, with Civilization, the open source driver cause serious artifacts when zooming out beyond the three closest zoom levels, while the pro driver works just fine. Also, the fps I get are far higher with the pro than with mesa. As for the overlays, I didn't use them, I just installed stuff by hand, except for dkms, which I got from farmboy0. Note that the module sources as you download them from the amd web site are sort-of broken, because they are intended for ubuntu with 4.4 kernel and their patches. In addition, they have some programming choices that are a bit poor, shall we say. Anyway, the bottom line is that you have to fix their code a bit, but after that it works just fine. |

Thanks paraw.
I think I'll stick with the open source ones. Seems like less of a hassle. :P And everything is working fine here on R9 Nano.
(Sorry for slight off-topic)

Thanks all for your answers!

I will try that tonight.
There is no such use flag mentioned. Did you mean the entry to VIDEO_CARDS in make.conf? I do have that (sans the entry "radeon", which should not be neccessary or even harmfull... I'll try that tonight, too, though, just to be sure).

I did not, there was no wiki entry or such, and since the oss driver is supposed to work well, I did not investigate. What you tell seems to confirm that this would be a bit of work, and as you can see, I can't even solve this problem here where there's documentation to be read

Maybe your libdrm is too old.
Also it seems that you are using X.org modesetting driver instead of amdgpu.
Blocking the fallback drivers (fbdev, vesa) from loading probably won't help. |

I don't fully understand, where can I configure that? The amdgpu driver came with a config file 10-amdgpu.conf which is used by xorg, and the wiki doesn't mention any configuration I'd need to do. I did however see a section on KMS in the xorg guide, is that what you mean? I'll check out if I have the neccessary steps.

I actually meant what I wrote. The reason why I mentioned it as a possible solution is that certain packages, i.e. sys-devel/llvm, only have a 'video_cards_radeon' use flag which led me to the (possibly wrong) conclusion that this particular use flag is always needed when dealing with FOSS drivers for AMD cards. It's true that in the kernel you either use the amdgpu or the radeon module but I doubt that this translates directly to Gentoo use flag settings.

VIDEO_CARDS="radeon" is the same as USE="video_cards_radeon" , but I actullay use the 'VIDEO_CARDS' setting in /etc/make.conf myself. So, in your case I'd try VIDEO_CARDS="amdgpu radeon radeonsi" . |

Still no dice Libdrm is the latest available version (2.4.70), adding "radeon" to VIDEO_CARDS did a bit of recompiling, but did not change anything. I also followed the instructions to enable KMS from the xorg guide (this involves disabling most framebuffer drivers), but nothing changed.
Maybe I should elaborate something I mentioned. Using the following 10-device.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d:
| Code: | Section "Device"
Identifier "AMD Radeon RX 460 (POLARIS11)"
Driver "amdgpu"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "DRI" "3"
Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
EndSection |
I get the following X log: http://pastebin.com/SDA38NLs
Note that fb is not loaded, and amdgpu is not unloaded. It says "No devices detected" and "No screens found". Did I choose the BusID correctly? I have
| Code: | Rambazamba ~ # lspci |grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Device 67ef (rev cf) |
I also found this:
| Code: | Rambazamba X11 # dmesg |grep -i modesetting
[ 1.107748] [drm] amdgpu kernel modesetting enabled.
[ 1.108250] [drm] initializing kernel modesetting (POLARIS11 0x1002:0x67EF 0x174B:0xE348 0xCF).
|
Which actually looks like a good sign
Any more ideas still welcome

What version of the kernel do u use ?
I have a radeon RX 480, and play also Wow
Wow is cpu depend With dx9 , I could not go higher then setting 4 in Wow
and the gpu stay mostly idle.
I can play Swtor on full setting and the gpu load is higher then wow
glxgears is lockt on yours screen refresh rate , so 60 is normal
I'm using the "d3d9 dri3" flags, and stagging flags for wine
witch make wow run allot better
i had to use
Option "DRI" "3"
in 20-amdgpu.conf for d3d9 to work in Wow |

The latest gentoo unstable, namely 4.7.4

I can easily compare since I only switched the gpu recently, should at least perform on par (actually, much better, my previous card was several years old). But it doesn't... seeing DRI is not enabled, this is not surprising, though.

Thanks for the hint, I'll check that out later, but for now I'm keeping the version of wine that worked before, optimiziation is for later

Hmmm, maybe I stuck it in the wrong file, I'll try that out, thanks.

| this is a dumb question, but I noticed your kernel is x86, not x64, and everyone assumed you were using x64. on windows the polaris only works on x64. have you tried all the solutions with a 64 bit kernel instead of the 32 bit one? I think your issue is you're using a 32 bit kernel and compiling the driver wrong, aka a 64 bit extension on a 32 bit kernel. if you can't recompile and reinstall a 64 bit kernel, try using all i386 options where amd64 is specified. |

Hey, thanks for looking How did you figure I'm using a 32-bit kernel? See this:
| Code: | Rambazamba pips # uname -a
Linux Rambazamba 4.7.4-gentoo #3 SMP Mon Sep 19 22:30:25 CEST 2016 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4570 CPU @ 3.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
|
So I think this is x86_64, which should be correct, right? I do have CONFIG_64BIT set, so I'd be surprised if this is a 32bit kernel after all. But I might be wrong here, what do you think?

Here's the solution
| Quote: | First, you need to set proper keywords for packages in /etc/portage/package.keywords - for live versions that is two lines:
=media-libs/mesa-9999 **
=x11-drivers/xf86-video-amdgpu-9999 ** |
Everything else is said above (or maybe see the post I linked). Thanks to NilPointer for telling me via PM!
