[gentoo-dev] ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Drivers

[gentoo-dev] ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Drivers

[Chris Frederick]

Hi all,

I just noticed that ati released drivers for my Radeon Xpress card.  I
installed the drivers for Xorg, and it works great.  But when I tried to
install the kernel modules, I got a lot of error messages with the
build.  I know gentoo has the regular ati-drivers package, but they
don't support the Xpress series of cards.  Can anyone give me a hand at
getting this to work?

Is there any development being done to include these into the
ati-drivers package?  or to make an ati-xpress-drivers package?

I'm no wiz with C, but I know enough to be comfortable with it.  I'll do
what I can to help get this working, but I could sure use a hand, or a
point in the right direction.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Chris Frederick

Here's ATI's info on the drivers:

ATI Proprietary Linux x86_64 Driver 8.13.4 for Radeon Xpress 200 Series
https://support.ati.com/ics/support/KBAnswer.asp?questionID=19511
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/64bit/fglrx64_6_8_0-8.13.4-1.x86_64.rpm

I ran rpm2targz on the rpm, and extracted it to /, then ran the
/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/make.sh script to build the kernel modules:

Check the portage. Those drivers are available BUT p.masked since I
can't test them. I hope they will be integrated in the main driver soon
so I didn't add it as separate driver.

I'd be happy to help test.  Is there any testing methodology that I 
should follow?  Or any specific application I should test, or xorg 
config settings I should try?

Just unmask and emerge the .13.4 driver as usual and use it as a
standard ati-driver. If it works as should that means that I repackaged
it correctly and requires no other patching...

Everything works.  The only problem is that it appears to be painfully 
slow.  I have 4M generic video cards from the mid 90's that are giving 
faster framerates, and this thing is in an amd64 3K.  I'm going to check 
the bios tonight, the board is using shared memory, and I might have set 
it really low since it wasn't working before.  Other than that it's 
working well.

This might be a problem with the drivers as well.  I have seen this
issue on other systems with various ATI cards and I have yet to come
across the solution for it.
