 |
|
Hi,
I recently purchased a Radeon HD 7850 for a desktop. However, despite my best efforts I've been unable to enable hardware acceleration for it. I have tried both radeon and radeonsi without any progress.
Here are the relevant logs:
dmesg|wgetpaste
Your paste can be seen here: http://bpaste.net/show/92801/
lspci -kkk|wgetpaste
Your paste can be seen here: http://bpaste.net/show/92804/
wgetpaste /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Your paste can be seen here: http://bpaste.net/show/92805/
emerge --info|wgetpaste
Your paste can be seen here: http://bpaste.net/show/92806/
Any help will be very appreciated

| Code: | | [ 10.474] (II) RADEON(0): EXA: Driver will allow EXA pixmaps in VRAM |
xf86-video-ati does not support EXA acceleration for radeonsi cards. You need to use glamor instead. |

This could be due to remants of a proprietary driver or problems with eselect opengl on your system. |

| glamor is for all radeons. Since Southern Islands, glamor is the only supported acceleration method. Earlier chipsets support EXA too. |

So I have unmerged fglrx, anything else I can do to get rid of w/e is left behind?
Never mind, eselect opengl set xorg-x11 fixes the issues. I have direct acceleration working perfectly now  |
