[gentoo-user] can't get accelerated opengl renderer ati radeon xpress 200M

[gentoo-user] can't get accelerated opengl renderer ati radeon xpress 200M

[Tony Miller]

I've been trying for awhile now to get the accelerated opengl renderer
working on my radeon xpress 200M card(which is supposedly an rv370 or
rs4000 according to this wiki page:
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATIRadeon). I've been following this
guide alot: http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATIRadeon

I know it is important to change this string from glxinfo:

OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer

to this:

OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R200 (RV280 5C61) 20090101
x86/MMX+/3DNow!+/SSE TCL DRI2

But I'm not sure how.

This error in my xorg.log seems to be the key:

Well the directory /dev/dri/ is empty, so there you go.

I have these package versions:

xorg-server 1.7.6
mesa 7.8
libdrm 2.4.19
xf86-video-ati 6.12.192
xorg-drivers 1.7

I have drm set in my kernel too:

tony@o_0 ~ $ zgrep DRM /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_DRM=m
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=m
CONFIG_DRM_TTM=m
# CONFIG_DRM_TDFX is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_R128 is not set

# CONFIG_DRM_SAVAGE is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_VMWGFX is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_I2C_CH7006 is not set

and this dmesg output appears to indicate that its working ok:

[   53.642115] [drm] radeon defaulting to kernel modesetting.

But glxgears only gets about 19 fps. Here is what glxinfo | grep OpenGL reports:
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.8
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20

If anyone has any idea, please let me know. Would posting to the xorg

It can't hurt to try putting it the "Device" section of xorg.conf, maybe
something like this:

Option "OpenGL renderer" "Mesa DRI R200....."

Xorg may spit in your eye, but it can't hurt to try.

By amazing coincidence, I just posted a similar problem to the xorg mail
list and got no replies.  Maybe try some ATI lists instead?

Anyway, I finally got /dev/dri/card0 created at boot time by fiddling with
my kernel config a zillion times or two, and AFAICT there are two types of
changes that may (possibly) account for my success.  I'm still not sure.

I finally got console framebuffer working by compiling support into the
kernel instead of as a module.  In retrospect, the module obviously was
not being loaded at boot time when the card0 device should be created.

However, I also changed other kernel video/drm/fb support to compiled-in
instead of modules, so the console framebuffer thing may just be a red
herring.  Try compiling all the video/dri/drm stuff into your kernel
instead of making them modules.

BTW, I added no udev support files for dri/card0, so that device is not
created by udev, apparently, but by the kernel directly.

Sorry, I don't know what to make of that.

I have those, too, except I upgraded to mesa-7.8.1 and xf86-video-ati-6.13.0
last night.

I have the exact same options set.

[SNIP glxinfo, xorg.conf]

I also have an empty xorg.conf, maybe it's worth trying it out. Perhaps you
just have a bad combination of options (even if you got them from the "official"
documentation)?

I have one idea: which Kernel are you using? I have gentoo-sources-2.6.33
installed. I read that the radeon devs recommend to use kernel versions >=2.6.33
for KMS instead of 2.6.32.

Just goes to show how different ones experience with the same software can be.
For me and my HD4650 (r6xx) it was smooth sailing: I followed Gentoos 3D
acceleration guide and just needed to install the radeon-ucode package and
everything "just worked".

Tried an empty xorg.conf, still getting same error in Xorg.log and

Yeah, wish I could afford a different card, this one is being pretty
difficult it seems.

Hmmm... Mine has an entry for card0:

GentooPenguin# ls -l /dev/dri

crw-rw---- 1 root video 226, 0 2010-04-08 17:42 card0

Are you sure your opengl libraries are being found in /usr/lib/opengl?

I used to run the ATI proprietary driver and switched to the open Radeon
driver and remember some fiddling was required in this directory,
possibly a symlink pointing in the wrong direction.

What does the command "eselect opengl list" show you?

Mine tells me that the xorg-x11 driver is being used.

I tried copying yours. It all worked except it couldn't find the 'xtrap' module.

Didn't make a difference though. Still have no accelerated rendering
and nothing in /dev/dri.

What does glxinfo | grep render say for you?

Hmmm.... here's mine:

GentooPenguin$ ls -lh /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/
total 392K
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  723 2010-04-04 22:22 libGL.la

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 383K 2010-04-04 22:22 libGL.so.1.2

Note the "libGL.la" file. I wonder where yours has got to, or if it's
necessary for proper operation.

When I check which package produces this file I get:

GentooPenguin$ /usr/src/linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r6 $ equery belongs libGL.la
[ Searching for file(s) libGL.la in *... ]
media-libs/mesa-7.5.2 (/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.la)

You're running a newer version of mesa aren't you? Perhaps it doesn't
produce this file.

Why are libX11-xcb.so.1, libX11.so.6, libdrm.so.2 in the
/opt/gfx-test/lib directory rather than in /usr/lib as they are on my
machine?

The same as on my machine, but you need links from
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions for each of these files. Have you done:

GentooPenguin# eselect opengl set xorg-x11

Sometimes this works.

Again there are links to libs in /opt/gfx-test that aren't on my
machine.

Oh dear! Neither can mine:

(EE) Failed to load module "xtrap" (module does not exist, 0)

I'd better remove it from my xorg.conf.

Really odd. Have you re-emerged all the drivers found in
/var/db/pkg/x11-drivers? I'm starting to stab in the dark here.

> What does glxinfo | grep render say for you?

direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 20060815 x86/MMX/SSE2 NO-TCL

Do you have this section in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "DRI"
        Mode         0666
EndSection

Have you followed the Hardware Acceleration Guide's Kernel config
directions?

I've got the:

Processor type and features --->
<*> MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support

Device drivers --->
   Graphics support --->
      <M> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support) --->
      <M>  Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI
      support) --->


selected, as well as:

	<M> ATI Radeon

What have you got in this directory:

GentooPenguin$ ls /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 17820 2009-12-22 00:59 libdbe.so

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 26052 2009-12-22 00:59 librecord.so

Note the links to the /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions directory.

I hope something in here helps!

Sorry about that, this /opt/gfx-test/ directory was something I
created to test a hand compiled X stack. It shouldn't be interfering
with running the portage installed X stack, but I should make sure to
be completely certain.

After you mentioned this I decided to check my kernel configuration again.

Device drivers --->
   Graphics support --->
       Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support)  --->
                [*]     Enable modesetting on radeon by default - NEW DRIVER

Here's part of the description for this option:

Choose this option if you want kernel modesetting enabled by default.

   This is a completely new driver. It's only part of the existing drm
   for compatibility reasons. It requires an entirely different graphics
   stack above it and works very differently from the old drm stack.
   i.e. don't enable this unless you know what you are doing it may
   cause issues or bugs compared to the previous userspace driver stack.

   When kernel modesetting is enabled the IOCTL of radeon/drm
   driver are considered as invalid and an error message is printed
   in the log and they return failure.

This made me reconsider whether I should set this option or not...

I gave it a try without the option set and I get direct rendering fine.

tony@o_0 ~ $ glxinfo | grep render
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 (RS400 5A62) 20090101 x86/MMX/SSE2 NO-TCL

Now I have card0 in /dev/dri.

I get about 100 fps now, not extremely fast but certainly a lot better
than before!
