ATI Radeon IGP 345M

grim1234 · 09-13-2003, 05:52 AM

Hi guys,
I need to get hardware acceleration working with this card if I'm to use linux as a serious alternative to windows. The card is built into my Vaio FR285M laptop (2.4ghz, 512mb ram) and has 128mb vga ram. The output form lsmod -v is :

---
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon IGP 340M (prog-if 00 [VGA])
Subsystem: Sony Corporation: Unknown device 8158
Flags: bus master, stepping, fast Back2Back, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 66, IRQ 11
Memory at e0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
I/O ports at a000 [size=256]
Memory at c0500000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=128K]
Capabilities: [58] AGP version 2.0
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
---

The relevant segment of XF86Config is (I'm using the generic vesa right now:

---

Section "Device"
Identifier "ati"
Driver "vesa"
#VideoRam 131072
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection
---

I'm running slackware 9 with the 2.4.21 kernel. Recompiling a kernel is not a problem if I can get this to work. I tried the generic radeon driver but it wouldn't load x.

All comments / suggestions are welcome to get this to work.

Thanks,

Graham.

---------------
Radeon IGP is unsupported by XFree86 4.3.0. In order to use
Radeon IGP with XFree86, you need to use newer drivers, as the
support for Radeon IGP was contributed by ATI to XFree86 after
4.3.0 was released. This support is integrated into Red Hat
Rawhide XFree86 4.3.0 and provides working 2D.
The current version of XFree86 in rawhide is 4.3.0-22.1. I've
also got the driver module files separated out which can be
dropped in on top of the existing X drivers to give working 2D.
They can be downloaded from:
ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/radeon-igp
Be sure to read the README file. Also note that these drivers
should work on any Linux distribution or BSD OS running XFree86
4.3.0. They're not Red Hat specific.

Thanks, I'm going to try that now. I'll repost if I can get back into x

grim1234 · 09-13-2003, 07:31 AM

Well, adding those drivers and choosing radeon as the driver and kde loaded in about nothing flat! I'm going to install mplayer and test that now. System certainly seems to be faster.

Thanks,

Graham.

Hi - Thanks for the pointer to the drivers. I seem to be having better luck with my Evo N1020V now. But still, my games are running SLOWWWWWW. It seems the frame rates are still not what they should be.

Anything in the X config that I can tweak?

[ox] · 09-24-2003, 10:22 PM

hi all,

I got Compaq 2538CL which also has the same IGP 345 M , but no luck with the driver.

I copied (overwrite) the file in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/ati_drv.o and radeon_drv.o and tried both ati and radeon as the driver for the display and it failed.

You guy who succedeed using the driver please shed some light.
I'm on RH 8.0 with 2.4.22

Thanks

Hi all,

I'm both French and

so I've got some problems installing red hat 9 on my laptop (hp pavilion ze5228) using the same IGP 345M chip.
I overwrited ati_drv.o and radeon_drv.o in the same directory than ox but the X server refuses to boot.

please help.

[ox] · 10-12-2003, 01:58 AM

I finally got mine working

Now if I can get the external vga to work properly it would be awesome.
Currently it worked but for some reason it can show the whole screen on my monitor. I know this monitor is capable of the resolution, so it might just be the driver, or some setting I missed. Anyone got this working ??

thanks

Jerrac · 12-01-2003, 09:26 PM

ok, I would put those files on my computer. But according to the properties of my current ati_drv.o file it is newer than the one on that site. Also, it sounds like that fix is for the 2-d acceleration. So far as I can tell my 2-d is fine, but my 3-d is horrid. I am using Mandrake 9.2, the ATI RADEON IGP 345M 64MB (shared) graphics. How can I get the 3d acceleration going?

GodSendDeath · 03-16-2004, 09:10 PM

Could someone re-post the XFree86 ATI radeon modules? The link to them given by the second post doesnt work anymore. Thank you!

i need that file too!

pd983 · 03-23-2004, 08:19 AM

For 3D for the Radeon IGP-chipset have a look at
http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314

Use http://bugs.xfree86.org/attachment.c...23&action=view with
ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/de....99.16.tar.bz2
as newer patches for newer XFree86-Versions make problems (not only for me)
You have to use a kernel with IGP-Support (2.4.23 and above or some patched older kernels).
There are some snares in configuration, so see this sites:
http://rzr.online.fr/docs/comp/gfxcard.htm
http://vayne.fdns.net/presario.html
http://www.consultmatt.co.uk/nx9005/...-igp/index.php

If you use kernel 2.4.25-vanilla delete this lines in
/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/kernel/drm_memory.h
before compiling radeon.o:

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2,5,0)
# define pte_offset_kernel(dir, address) pte_offset(dir, address)
# define pte_pfn(pte) (pte_page(pte) - mem_map)
# define pfn_to_page(pfn) (mem_map + (pfn))
#endif

So this is what i have done:

updated the system (debian) with an apt...

now I have
Xfree 4.3.0.1

Running glxinfo I got

johnprgr · 04-05-2004, 08:19 PM

go to http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314 as in above post, go down to comment #233 to the link for get_dri_xfree_install.txt. Download that, read it for directions. The script recommends you move /usr/X11R6 to somewhere else, I say copy it with "cp -Ra /usr/X11R6 $HOME/X11R6-saved" . I also believe that you need to change dri.freedesktop.org on the first two cvs lines to pdx.freedesktop.org.

Then run it with "sh get_dri_xfree_install.txt".

If you are running 2.6.x you need to make sure that the ati-agp and agpgart modules are loaded before the radeon drm module. For me I just added those in /etc/modprobe.preload (using Mandrake 10.0).

I also found out on Mandrake anyway that you have to delete the contents of /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/tls and /usr/X11R6/lib/tls. These have something to do with NPTL and get in the way of the DRI installation.

After the script runs do "ldconfig" as root and start X. All the other configuration information in the above posts.

I don't get really great performance, but the open GL games are not choppy. I'm getting about 589 fps with glxgears with dri and 493 without.

Hope some of this helps
