Call for Testing: Xorg Updates (20100830)

rworkman: Do you have the sources for the Mesa package you're shipping somewhere? They don't seem to be in the stuff you've put up, only the final package is.

rworkman · 10-10-2010, 09:06 AM

Eeek, yes. Sorry for the oversight -- they're in a directory above the x11 sources. I've added an "EXTERNAL" directory in ./x11/src/ with links to mesa, libdrm, and xterm sources. Thanks for the heads-up.

cathectic · 10-10-2010, 09:26 AM

For anyone who is vaguely interested in Evergreen - rworkman's packages above will give you working modesetting, but that's it.

If you want acceleration, you need to build the evergreen_accel branch of xf86-video-ati - the 6.13 series will only allow you to do modesetting.

Some caveats:

1) Not sure how stable it is - I managed to get an X crash in EXA within a few minutes of using it (though I'm still running on it now)

2) I've not been brave enough to re-enable compositing yet.

3) I'm running with 2.6.36-rc7 - you might be able to get away with 2.6.35, but the whole DRM area for these cards still seems to be going through a lot of churn, so probably better to stick with something quite recent.

Update:

Points 1 & 3 - I've been hitting this bug - https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30188

As per the bug, you'll either need the drm-radeon-next branch of the drm-2.6 git tree, wait for 2.6.37 to start, or wait for patches to be backported to older releases to stop the segfaulting.

Thanks for working on this Robby.

My setup:
Fuijutsu Amilo with intel GM965/GL960.
KDE 4.4.5
Kernel 2.6.35.6 32-bit

Your packages work great on all WM's with improved performance except KDE which is unstable with some crashes and lockups.

Please see attached logs.

Another log from a hang which lasted a couple of minutes, it repeats the same message a few tusen times (I had to truncate it for the attachment):

It looks like the almighty ubuntu has the same problem:

hi,

My CPU/GPU is intel i3. After using the new xorg, glxgears returned only about 60FPS, please refer to the following:

bash-4.1# glxgears
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
303 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.443 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.978 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.978 FPS

I remember it was over thousand FPS before.

Your refresh rate is 60 so your glxgears framerate is 60.

I've got a Fujitsu T900 with a combo touchscreen and wacom-enabled screen.

I see that your 1.9.0 does not (seem to) have the GESTURE extension built in. Any chance of adding that?

Thanks.

Repeating myself from the post above, I have a Fujitsu T900. It has a synaptics touchpad. Under Slack 13.1 (using various kernels, including the huge one) I get reports of unhappyness from Xorg.0.log. (Here is the output of grep Synapt /var/log/Xorg.0.log .)

Possibly this is some kernel issue, I have tried it with custom
2.6.35.5 and 2.6.35.7 kernels, as well as vmlinuz-huge-2.6.33.4.

Anyone have any words of wisdom?

Thanks.

Looks about right - in the past we had HAL doing this for us, so Slackware probably does need to provide a pre-populated /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d to do some of this.

abrouwers · 10-24-2010, 08:33 AM

Actually, there is - check out /usr/share/ instead, however.
The packages provide them in this directory, but the user can override them in /etc/ .

BrZ · 10-24-2010, 11:57 AM

Wow Robby, latest xorg-server (1.9.1). Thank you =]

abrouwers · 10-24-2010, 12:47 PM

Robby,

It seems mesa 7.9 depends on talloc as a new requirement. Slackware provides it bundled with samba, but that's a rather large dep. to get opengl working out of the box (I'd also guess there are a few people who don't install, or wouldn't think to, for desktop use).

Any thoughts on splitting this out for l/ , and building samba against it? It seems most distros use this approach already. Installing it here makes opengl work again on my intel card ( where prior, "glxinfo | grep -i direct" showed a nasty error).
