3d acceleration broken out of the box on h/w that has been supported correctly in the past.
This is present in Buster and Stretch - can't remember precisely when it broke. Don't know which package maintainer is responsible, have searched a lot and found many similar sounding issues yet not been able to fix it myself, nor find active similar bug. Possibly one filed with glx-alternative The breakage is fairly innocuous - unless your DE tries to do too much - like KDE Plasma.. However 360 degree videos will without fail be garbled. (I vaguely remember this occurring sometime between Wheezy and Stretch but didn't really pay it much attention at the time). Installation of the proprietary 304xx nvidia driver (in Stretch as no longer included since Buster) changes but does not fix the issue. I get the impression it's something to do with the spaghetti of openGL symbolic links, but I'm a little out of my depth. Would love to get some help to rectify this one way or another.

Re: AMD AGPUs, 3D acceleration, and linux-libre in Debian
The newer Richland APUs also should work, topping out with the A10-6800k. As for the GPU, I don't expect 3d will work w/o the binary firmware blobs. Even 2d might not work. And even if it does, there is still non-free video- bios on the apu, AIUI. (There certainly is on all discreet radeon cards.) You might be able to do a fully-Free-Software C32 or G34 board, but the on-board vga on those probably is not up to 3d. You can use a discreet card with the asus mb. Perhaps there is one w/o propietary blobs? Good luck. I'd be curious to know how it works out. -JimC -- James Cloos OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

AMD AGPUs, 3D acceleration, and linux-libre in Debian
I'm looking to build a 100% free desktop computer / home server to the BIOS level; details can be found at <http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1f43bb/>. I'm pretty much sure of all the other parts in my build, but to go for coreboot compatibility, I'm (essentially) forced to use the Asus F2A85-M mobo (as it's the only moderately recent mobo that's both supported and available for purchase). The only CPUs compatible with that motherboard are listed below: CPU Speed Cores TDP AMD A10-57003.4GHz 4 465W AMD A10-5800K 3.8GHz 4 100W AMD A4-5300 3.4GHz 2 65W AMD A6-5400K3.6GHz 2 65W AMD A8-5500 3.2GHz 4 65W AMD A8-5600K3.6GHz 4 100W It's pretty clear to me that the A10-5800K is the best of that bunch, so that's probably what I'll be buying. Anyways, each of these CPUs comes with an AGPU (AKA APU), which is sort of what it sounds like: A CPU with a GPU. What I'm wondering is how these AGPUs will be supported by free software. What is the freedom status of these AGPUs? Can I get 3D acceleration in Debian using both DFSG-free drivers *and* firmware using these GPUs? I don't care whether or not they are supported in linux-firmware-nonfree; I want this to work using 100% free software. I've heard that "Trinity APUs are fully supported in Linux 3.4 and later", but I'm not really sure to what extent they are supported and whether or not they depend on nonfree components. I would have no problem backporting the kernel to stable if that was required for this to work.

For this you could start by disabling the parallel booting feature and check if you get any gain: 2.1.4.

As you are upgrading from an older versión you will have to deal with this manually and apply high doses of patience :-) What I would do? First, decide what driver to use becasue squeeze integrates KMS and nouveau support out-of-the-box. But if you prefer to keep the closed nvidia driveers you will also have to decide what set to install: the ones from Debian non-free repo or those provided by nvidia. In either case, I would first completely uninstall any nvidia driver, package or kernel module that was installed before and then boot with the VESA, FB or nouveau driver. After that, proceed with the installation of the selected VGA driver packages. > I do not know what is wrong, but found others with similar problem and > Debian bug report about this issue.

I couldn't get 3d acceleration to work with nouveau, but it works fine with the nvidia packages from the Debian repos. You may have to do some research to make sure that you get a driver version that will work with your card. I haven't checked out the DKMS changes yet, still using a stupid little script to run module-assistant to build the nvidia module when I update the kernel. I wish I had an answer for you on the start up dependencies. When I did a few Lenny to Squeeze updates, I had to run apt-get a few times to clear up error messages related to dependency loops, but nothing that caused time outs like you are experiencing.

Squeeze boot takes 9 minutes; no sound and no 3D acceleration
Yesterday I updated Lenny to Squeeze. Lenny was working very well, but now I have a few problems: 1) Booting takes 9 minutes to login screen.

I already added networking to nis Required-Start: line, but that does not seem to help. 2) sound no longer works. I have Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 08), which seems to need firmware loaded.

The X1900 should be a good upgrade from the 6800. Unfortunately, the X1900 is similar in price to some of the Radeon 4xxx HD series, which would be better performing, but do not yet have good 3D though either the Radeon driver or the RadeonHD driver.

You can go to the ATI site here: http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html and get the most recent driver that supports your card (8.10 does support X1200 but I'm not sure about 8.11).

I think that it´s something wrong here, the problem might be inside debian because I grab the .run file of fglrx from the main download site and install in my system running 2.6.22.2 and 'everything' it´s cool, I play Games, etc. NOTE: All my instalations of fglrx are 'without' module-assistant and my builds are generic, NOT DEBIAN BASED. >There is a conflict between the > latest kernel and the latest ATI driver. A While ago it maybe true, but recently this is not 100% true because the support has been optimized to avoid this conflicts on the kernel. Good Luck. olr.

I installed the ATI Driver (proprietary version 8.39.4) and had to go back to kernel version 2.6.18-4-k7 to get everything working properly. (At least back to the 2.6.18 series).

3d acceleration on Ati with fglrx?
Has anyone had any success with 3d acceleration using fglrx on Debian? I'm currently on Debian testing, with kernel 2.6.21-2-686 #1 SMP. This is an Ati X-1400 card. I have 2d with fglrx but not 3d. I tried the Debian packages with module-assistant and also the installer supplied by AMD. but compiling failed with various messages (don't recall what - didn't understand them). Googling mostly sends me back to the solutions I've tried. A lost cause, perhaps?

3D acceleration
Dear Madam, Dear Sir, I have a question concerning 3D acceleration on my Dell Inspiron 1501 AMD64 with a Radeon Xpress 1150 3D-capable Graphics card. Currently I am using Debian Etch 64 installed via Netinstaller. This went perfect and all went smooth. Now I installed the FlightGear Simulator, but this turns out to be very slow. The freeglut does not start properly and gives the quote "This will hurt your performance". It turns out that the 3D acceleration is not installed. Searching the internet and asking around did not give me any hint on how to get this working under Debian. Would it be possible that you could tell me how to get the 3D acceleration operational so that I can use the whole potential of the Notebook?

I think you should need to load the i810fb kernel module, which (according to the kernel documentation) has support for "Full and optimized hardware acceleration at 8, 16 and 24 bpp" for i810 chipset based graphic controllers. Then you need to use xorg's i810 driver. With xorg7 this is in the 'xserver-xorg-video-i810' package. I'm saying these with absolutely no experience with that graphic controller, or it's set up.

If you have "kernel-headers" (as opposed to the now "linux-headers") installed, there will be a little script to build them for you. Otherwize, go the the "linux-core" subdirectory, read the Makefile for instructions. Make mach64.o with appropriate reference to your kernel sources, LINUXDIR= if I remember. Copy the two resulting mach64.ko and drm.ko to the appropriate place in your /lib/modules/kernel (there may be a drm.ko there but that one will not work--you can locate that to find the place, though). Now make sure agpgart and mach64 modprobe in this order on bootup.
Re: 3d acceleration (Mach 64 ATI rage pro)
There are debian packages which are more up-to-date than those sited above. Add to your sources.list: #new DRI locations? deb http://www.nixnuts.net/files/ ./ deb-src http://www.nixnuts.net/files/ ./ There are three packages: One is has the dri drivers similar to those cited above. There is a script to build them over Debian kernel-headers or follow the instructions cited in the article. The second has the mesa dri-trunk libraries to connect this stuff and the third has an Xorg. This Xorg is compiled to enable mach64--stock Xorg does not work. This Xorg will install over existing Xfree installations and (follow the instructions) will work no sweat. These packages were supposed superceded by newer Xorg and mesa packages. The more recent Xorg will NOT work. Thanks everyone for the responses. I added the above to my sources list, and installed xlibmesa-gl1-trunk, and xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk, which also resulted in some other packages being installed. I've rebooted, and, when I run glxgears, I get similar speeds, but now without the warning, . . . Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". . . . that had been there previously. Here are the speeds I'm currently getting: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ glxgears 470 frames in 5.0 seconds = 94.000 FPS 548 frames in 5.0 seconds = 109.600 FPS 600 frames in 5.0 seconds = 120.000 FPS 480 frames in 5.0 seconds = 96.000 FPS 480 frames in 5.0 seconds = 96.000 FPS 600 frames in 5.0 seconds = 120.000 FPS I think I am close to achieving 3d acceleration, but not quite there yet (unless this is the best a Mach 64 video card can do).

I have to load the fglrx kernel module first, and after that, I can load the agpgart, and radeon drm modules. This is WRONG. You first load the agpgart module, and then the radeon OR fglrx, but not both. This should be accomlished by adding the appropriate lines to /etc/modules. I've also downloaded that SDLgears-1.0.2.tar.gz (http://www.libsdl.org/opengl/SDLgears-1.0.2.tar.gz) and compiled it, and I can see those gears spinning. What is the framerate you are getting? My problem is (at least I think it is a problem), that when I start X, and start that glxgears program, and during this I type 'lsmod' to a console, I see that no process is using the loaded modules (fglrx, agpgart etc...), although I'm using the fglrx driver in my XF86Config file. That in because you must load agpgart first (see my comment above). Programs, which needs 3d acceleration (tuxracer, unreal tournament) are very slow, but that glxgears program tells me, that it runs at 240fps. What is the output of `glxinfo |grep render'?

That is almost certainly true. Which xfree driver do you recommend, the 'fglrx' or the buil-tin 'radeon' driver? And what modules do I need to load (glx,dri,glcore?), if I want to play 3d games smoothly? Anybody have the same problem with an ati card? I use the fglrx module (so that I can play Neverwinter Nights). But the radeon module give better performance for everything else. The pain about the fglrx module is that it is an extra step that you must accomplish each time you install a kernel. -Roberto signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
ati radeon 9200 - slow 3d acceleration
Hi! I have an ati radeon 9200 card, and want to use it's 3d acceleration. Info: o XFree86 Version 4.3.99.902 (4.4.0 RC 2) - radeon drm as module (from the Xdrm.tgz package, source) o Driver from the ati's hp 3.7.0 - fglrx (xfree driver, and kernel module by that name) - ati's libGL.so o linux-2.4.24 kernel - agpgart as module - radeon drm as module I have to load the fglrx kernel module first, and after that, I can load the agpgart, and radeon drm modules. I've also downloaded that SDLgears-1.0.2.tar.gz (http://www.libsdl.org/opengl/SDLgears-1.0.2.tar.gz) and compiled it, and I can see those gears spinning. My problem is (at least I think it is a problem), that when I start X, and start that glxgears program, and during this I type 'lsmod' to a console, I see that no process is using the loaded modules (fglrx, agpgart etc...), although I'm using the fglrx driver in my XF86Config file. Programs, which needs 3d acceleration (tuxracer, unreal tournament) are very slow, but that glxgears program tells me, that it runs at 240fps. I'm loading the glx, and the GLcore modules, but I can not load the dri module too. It conflicts with the glx mod, so when I select to load both of them, I get this error (when starting x): Fatal server error: __glXExtensionInit: AddExtensions failed I must choose, wether to load the dri or the glx module. But I think I need both of them, cause when I start glxgears, it says: Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". And when starting unrealtournament, I get this error message: X Error of failed request: XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode Major opcode of failed request: 136 (XFree86-DGA) Minor opcode of failed request: 2 (XF86DGADirectVideo) Serial number of failed request: 114 Current serial number in output stream: 115 Signal: SIGSEGV [segmentation fault] Aborting.

Is this correct? Sort of. It looks like your Radeon card is a PCI card, and your SiS card is AGP. I don't think that DRI works with PCI Radeon cards at all, so that's out (don't take my word for it, though: check dri.sourceforge.net). The best I can tell you if you want DRI is check if that SiS chip is supported by DRI and if it is, reconfigure X to use that card instead.

Help with AGP and 3D acceleration for Radeon 7000
Hi all, may I request your help? I've recently bought a Radeon 7000 graphics card for my home PC running Debian testing. (XFree86 version is 4.2.1.1.) Despite having tried several suggestions (I've specified the "radeon" driver in place of "ati" in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, loaded the "radeon" kernel module, and played with a couple of other settings), I haven't been able to get 3D acceleration to work. These are the relevant lines from the output of glxinfo, as I understand: direct rendering: No OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect while glxgears reports an awful 80 FPS. I guess that these lines from /var/log/XFree86.0.log identify the problem: (EE) RADEON(0): [agp] AGP not available (EE) RADEON(0): [drm] failed to remove DRM signal handler I tried loading the "agpgart" kernel module, but to no effect. The full /var/log/XFree86.0.log, /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, and the output of glxinfo are attached. I'd be very grateful if anybody could help me. Please Cc: me since I'm not subscribed to this list. P.S. a less critical problem: as reported in /var/log/XFree86.0.log, XFree86 estimates my monitor resolution to be 75 DPI, while it's actually 96 DPI (15" screen at 1024x768). Gnome gets that correctly, as I could see with gconf-editor, but then I get inconsistent font sizes between the Gnome panel and applications (and sometimes, even between instances of the same app!). I was only able to cure the inconsistency by setting the gconf resolution to 75 too, but then, 13-points fonts look like they were 10-points. Is there a way to force XFree86 to use the correct resolution? Many thanks in advance.

Hello Roberto again; Have rebooted and sorted out PC regarding to the new kernel - it loads the AGPGART module and detects the G550 card no problem. Still OpenGL doesn't work on both heads of the G550, I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ glxgears Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ on both heads. Looking at someone's else post about OpenGL and glxgears, I get around 200fps on the Nvidia card as well so hardware rendering seems not to work on that either..

I try and take good notes setting things up, but all I have is "doesn't work on secondary head". My memory is that I saw a reason why it doesn't work on the secondary head but my Googling isn't finding that right now. Oh, maybe it's because I'm using Xinerama. ftp://ftp.matrox.com/pub/mga/archive/linux/2002/lnx200notes.txt After starting X, there should be a "direct rendering enabled" message in the X server startup log.

Re: G550 and 3D acceleration
Hmmm, alright, here's what it looks like to me . . . What you are seeing with the framebuffer stuff is for the console. That's what allows your console to print its text. When you load X it is not loading the modules or it can't find them. To find out whether there is support in the kernel, you really need to install the source and take a look at it. In my 2.4.22 kernel source, I find Matrox G400 drivers that claim to also work with the G450. I am not sure if they will also work with your G550, but perhaps it will. In order to use them, if the kernel image you are using right now does not offer a module of it, or it is not compiled in [most likely not]; the best thing I can recomend to you is to try those modules and compile the drivers as modules with your new kernel. I don't know if you have compiled kernels or not before, but it isn't too bad. If that doesn't work, http://www.matrox.com has a listing of 3rd party driver providers, and there are some commercial drivers available from XIG [I think the URI is http://www.xig.com] but they should offer free evaluation copies. There are other sites offering drivers, so I would check out the matrox site and see what you can find there as well if recompiling the kernel with matrox drivers does not help.

Re: Voodoo 3000 3d acceleration -- look ma, no non-debian-packaged files.
for recent kernel (2.2) and X 3.x it's fairly easy, just install debian packages related to 3dfx and that's it. I don't remember all the packages but I remember I had no problems identifying them, just search, you need mesa, probably glide, device3dfx if you want to run 3d accelerated stuff as non-root, ... for X 4.0.1 you need very recent kernel, either one of the pre 2.4 or 2.2.18 (that would be 'pre' as well), the howto for this combination is at debianplanet. erik Gryn wrote: > > Hellos, > > I'm reading all the documentation I can find, and I'm trying to setup my > machine to use 3d acceleration with my voodoo 3000.

Thanks in advance for any help pointers or suggestions. Hmmm maybe I should refrain from these sorts of sessions when I have english finals the next day... na. -Gryn
3D acceleration for ATI Xpert@Play (Rage Pro chipset)
I have an ATI [EMAIL PROTECTED] AGP video card (which basically has Rage Pro 3d acceleration), and I'd like to know if there are 3d libraries for it. XF86_Mach64 works great on it, if that helps. I'd like to get the Quake 3 demo, but it don't work unless I can get 3d accel working on my box.

These are old 2D drivers for X. The SVGA server package found at ftp.netgod.net (or in unstable) natively supports the Matrox card. Ciao, Martin

Here is what I did. 1. From http://www.suse.de/XSuSE/XSuSE_E.html, I got the following for my Matrox G200 video card, xmatrox-2.2-0.i386.rpm xsuseconfig-981102.tgz 2. I ran alien xmatrox-2.2-0.i386.rpm which created the debian file xmatrox_2.2-1_i386.deb I install this xmatrox_2.2-1_i386.deb file, dpkg -i xmatrox_2.2-1_i386.deb 3. I uncompressed and installed xsuseconfig-981102.tgz This has the program xf86config, which will recognize your matrox G200 card. Specifically this tar file has two files, /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Cards These two files replace those belonging to the xbase package. 4. Backup /etc/X11/XF86Config, then run xf86config 4. You probably don't even need to run xf86config. If you don't mind using your old resolutions (eg, 1024x768) and the old amounts for video memory, then you need only change the first line of Xserver to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFCom_Matrox This surprised and delighted me that I didn't need to run xf86config or alter XF86Config when going from an NEC C500 monitor and a Number 9 S3V video card to a newer Nokia 445Xpro monitor and a Matrox G200 video card. I eventually did run xf86config, though, with no real problems. This xf86config seemed to know I had 8192 KB memory. The package xmatrox_2.2-0.i386.rpm has the files /usr/X11R6/bin/XFCom_Matrox /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.XFCom_Matrox /usr/doc/xmatrox/copyright /usr/doc/xmatrox/changelog.Debian /usr/doc/xmatrox/buildinfo.Debian All these are uniquely "matrox" so present no conflicts with other files. When you upgrade packages with dselect, dselect won't know the location of xmatrox (for all practical purposes, I removed my created matrox debian package), though it knows you installed it and what its files are. When you eventually do upgrade to a version of debian with the Matrox G200 driver (maybe in March, 1999?), then you can of course purge this xmatrox package. Any upgrade of xbase will replace your two new files from suse. In the past I could more easily get my video card's driver, but once I got the xmatrox package, I found installation much simpler. For example, I did not need to do an "X --probeonly" to get the clocks. > I am (hopefully) putting a Matrox Millennium G200 AGP in my linux box > next month.

I know right where on ATI's website where they say the 3D API for the mach64/mach128 cards is propriatery and private. On the other hand, I recently received email from ATI's marketing department which insinuates that the 'developers' (Xfree and/or OpenGL/Mesa developers) have the 'programming information' (3D API documentation) Can anyone confirm ATI's opening their 3D implimentation to development? --Ian Dalton
