Typo in documentation?

2006-11-01 Thread Stefan Lange
The building guide in the DRI wiki 
(http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Building) states the following under 
section 1.3.:

snip
Note: libdrm installs to /usr/local/lib by default. To install in 
/usr/lib run:

./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/
---end--

For me this solution doesn't work, as it will install the 
pkgconfig-files into /lib/pkgconfig. Thus the subsequent build of the 
Mesa tree fails. Shouldn't it just be

./configure --prefix=/usr

instead? At least that works for me (on debian unstable). If it is a 
typo, please fix it, as this can be _very_ frustrating if you're trying 
to build mesa following this guide. If I'm just too stupid and doing 
something wrong, I'm sorry to have bothered you.

Re: [Dri-devel] Xserver crashing 2.4.22 kernel (Intel 82845G/GL)

Hi,

I have a MSI 845GL-P barebone, 
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. 82845G/GL [Brookdale-G] Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)

and do use it with 2.4.22, i830 and agpgart kernel modules and
4.3.0-0pre1v1 xfree86-xserver (debian package).
Unfortunately the kernel crashes every few minutes. The problem is
that it does not crash immediately, it continuously degenerates. 
Some programs start to behave crazy or simply disappear, and the
kernel shows more and more malfunctions, like being unable to remove
kernel modules or finding hard discs. I manged to get a trace once
(see below), but I'm pretty sure it's useless, since this is not
what's causing the problem. 
Are you sure you don't have faulty hardware? These symptoms sound like 
they might well originate from bad ram, bad cpu, bad harddrive, or maybe 
an overheated system.

I am pretty sure that the combination of the xserver with this 
vga device corrupts kernel memory structures (many normal programs 
suddenly die with segmentation fault or with a kernel error message
about mapping problems. When I finally get a Oops debug output, thing
have already gone wrong. 

I first used the machine without i830 and agpgart modules, but this
was even worse.
So why do you think the DRI drivers are the reason then?

Do you have any idea whether this is a known bug?

regards
Hadmut

[Dri-devel] Broken Xv in current trunk?

2003-10-08 Thread Stefan Lange
Hello,
if I try to use Xv (via mplayer, or with xawtv using the v4l-module) 
with current cvs (trunk) the X server crashes. I'm using a r200-based 
card (Radeon 8500).
When I check out cvs from just before the mergedfb-merge (i tried 
2003-10-07, 4:30:00), I get no problems, so the merge might have broken 
something.

Can anybody reproduce this?

AFAIK you can't have Gatos- and DRI-drivers at the same time. Both 
projects use different versions of the drm kernel module which are not 
compatible.

I don't know if Gatos currently supports 3d-accel with r200-based cards, 
you'll have to check Gatos-documentation for that.

I have read through the CVS documentation I can find and have pulled
the src from cvs using the following commands. xfree86 
CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs cvs -z3 co xc 
should I be using the xf-4_3-branch or any other branch?

For DRI you don't have to check out any sources from xfree86 cvs. 
Everything you need is contained in DRI-cvs.

DRI CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/dri cvs
-z3 co xc Again is the default the correct branch to pull?
that should do.

VIA/S3 has been contacted several times already, whether they'll allow

If you update ut2k3 to the latest version you'll be able to play it even

But I seriously doubt that you can play ut2k3 with a r128 anyway...

Re: [Dri-devel] mesa-4-1-branch testing...

2002-11-21 Thread Stefan Lange
Hi!
I've done some more testing on the mesa-4-1-branch (checked out and 
compiled yesterday)

All in all everything runs quite nicely and stable. I successfully tested:

-quake (quakeforge-0.5.2): works, but quite sluggish, especially when 
there are lots of light effects

-quake2 (quakeIIforge 0.1): works stable and fast, but only with dynamic 
lighting disabled, as suggested earlier
with dynamic lighting and multitexturing it's hardly playable

-quake3 (1.32): nice, fast and stable ;-)

-return to castle wolfenstein (1.3): now works stable for me, as far as 
I can tell, but performance is a bit weird: it's fast most of the time, 
but sometime framerates drop to almost 0 for a little while, mostly when 
opening doors, entering new rooms etc. (but that could also be related 
to low system ram, i only got 256 MB, and I'm playing at max. details)

-tuxracer

-tuxkart

-gltron

-glxgears ;-)

-half-life (using winex): seemed stable, but not very fast. switching on 
your flashlight for example hugely affects performance (goes down to 
~5fps or s.th.)

Apps that I had problems with:
-flightgear: after some left- and right-clicking in the fgfs-window my 
keyboard wasn't responsive anymore. This happened once only, but i 
didn't really test fgfs, as i don't have a clue about how to play it :)

General prolems/issues:
Changing resolution in wolfenstein, q3a, q2 etc. does not work. It will 
not crash the box, but give garbage pictures on the screen. Software-TCL 
produces flickering/missing textures in wolfenstein (q3a is fine)

I did the testing with a r200 (8500 QL), amd athlon XP, via 
kt266a-mainboard, using debian-unstable and linux-2.4.20-rc1.

It seems that now AGP4x is also fairly stable for me, but I have to do 
some longer testing do definitely confirm this, most of the testing was 
done at AGP1x. Fastwrites are disabled, pageflipping is enabled

Thanks for the nice work,
Stefan

I heard a while ago that some company was sponsoring the development

stability) for the ATI binary-only driver?



The development of the r200 drivers is sponsored by The Weather Channel.

Both 2D and 3D should basically work in the latest X release. 3D can be 
somewhat unstable, if you're unlucky. But I just tried latest 
mesa-4-1-branch CVS, and it seems to work very well (no crashes in 
return to castle wolfenstein anymore). I haven't used ATI's proprietary 
drivers for quite a while now, so I can't really compare. Performance is 
still a bit sloppy, but I hope that'll improve.

As a summary, I think you should give the drivers a try. 2D support is 
better IMHO, as it includes XV-support.

I don't know the status of the multi-head capabilities of the 
open-source drivers compared to the closed ones.



Thanks a lot,

 Still no go.  Dies at the same place with the same error.


I just checked it out (2h ago), and it compiled fine. It also seems to
run quite nicely. No crashes with wolfenstein or q3a, but I only tested
quickly.

you could try to erase your local cvs-copy and check it out completely,
maybe that helps?

btw: the flickering/missing textures with software tcl issue is still
present after the merge from trunk, so it's probably an issue with the
mesa-4.1 respectively mesa-5.0 code. Not that it really matters a lot,
though...

Hi all.

I know this is not exactly the perfect list for this, but then again it 
does have a lot of people who know how the Radeon ticks, so...

I have been using the Radeon Framebuffer driver in the kernel. I use it 
mainly for mplayer, as my card (VIVO) only puts a signal out the SVideo 
cable when I boot to a framebuffer console. If someone has an alternate 
method of turning on TV-out (maybe even in X) then please tell me.

I only tested it very briefly, but TV-out also worked on my R200 (Radeon 
8500) without fb-console. Here's what I did:

turn computer off
plug in s-video cable and connect it to tv (tv-grabber card for my test)
turn computer on
mplayer -vo vesa:vidix movie

then the movie was displayed on both my regular monitor and tv-out


Anyway, I just changed motherboards (long sad story) and now if I try to 
boot to a Radeon framebuffer with the SVideo cable attached, the monitor 
goes into power-saving mode, and the signal gets cut from the TV as soon 
as the framebuffer mode is activated. It looks like a sync-out-of-range 
problem. I have tried EVERY vga=xxx mode. Sometimes the monitor will 
stay on, but never the TV.

It works fine with the standard vesa framebuffer, but I am also trying 
to get Enlightenment-0.17 working through DirectFB, so I'd rather not 
give up on the Radeon drivers just yet...

Anyone know what's happening / how to fix it?

You can cleanly shutdown/reboot your box by using the shutdown-command.

 hmm, that's odd. I still get floating point exceptions for almost 
 every GL-app. with TCL disabled.

 Demos that _do_ work with TCL disabled include:
 clearspd, drawpix, gamma, glinfo, lodbias, readpix, winpos

 Maybe this can give you a clue, why some are working and some aren't?

 Could I have messed something up during checking 
 out/compiling/installing that is causing these FPE's?
 
 
 Can you run with gdb and find where the FP exception is happening?
 

Well, first I gotta admit that I don't have any experience in debugging, 
so this log might be completely useless. If that's the case, I'd 
appreciate if anyone can give me a quick howto in basic debugging.

I did some testing with the mesa-4-1-branch today on my r200. Compiling 
was less trouble than I expected, everything was pretty much straight 
forward ;-)

 
 I'd appreciate it if people could start testing this branch, esp the
 drivers I haven't tested.  One thing in particular to check is the
 Mesa/demos/readpix program - make sure front/back buffer rendering is
 working.  That's something that I've had to change in all the drivers.
 

I don't know what exactly readpix is supposed to do, but I think it 
works fine. Switching between front and backbuffer doesn't affect the 
displayed pictures. The benchmark result is:

Benchmarking...
Result:  325 reads in 4.009000 seconds = 2956697.430781 pixels/sec


My experiences from testing:

Wolfenstein (single-player): works, about same speed as dri-trunk, but 
not completely stable (exited with Signal 4 in one run, and Signal 11 in 
another, and once I got a complete lockup of the system)

Q3A: stable (at least for the time I tested), but not very fast. In fact 
it shows the same symptoms I got with earlier versions of DRI-trunk 
(before around 2002-10-11): poor overall speed, and a framerate that 
maxes out at 50 FPS. Is the r200-code in your branch from before that 
date? If yes, that would explain the behaviour.

small stuff like gl-screensavers, mesa-demos seems to run fine

one more thing: If I disable hardware-TCL (R200_NO_TCL=1), then some 
GL-apps won't start ( Signal 8 / FPE ). At least q3a, wolfsp and gears 
are affected, probably others too. Disabling hw-TCL does work with 
current trunk-code for me.

 This speed problem is somehow related to displaying the players weapon,
 or status. If you are playing q3a, and switch to free fly mode, the fps
 jumps to around 100-250fps
 
 
 That makes sense.  The speed problem comes from agressively throttling 
 glClear() operations.  Q3 does multiple clears of the backbuffer for 
 drawing the little floating head and I don't know what else in the 
 status bar.  So, I expect the speed to go up after a trunk merge.
 

I just checked, that's exactly the case: With cg_drawStatus 0 I'll get 
 50 FPS also with pre-October-11 code. It seems like those 
on-screen-display things are indeed causing this effect. Drawing or 
not drawing the gun doesn't make a change for me, however.

 Well, I managed to run the newest binary snapshots by installing the

 into my XFree-dir. It works. I even have Xv.
 That leads me to another question: what exactly is in radeon_drv.o?
 

It's the 2D-driver, the 3D-parts lie in r200_dri.so (or radeon_dri.so

Re: [Dri-devel] Re: [Dri-patches] CVS Update: xc (branch: trunk)

2002-10-02 Thread Stefan Lange

 
 I'm getting quite similar results:
 with xmms running in background: ~150 FPS
 with xmms paused: ~130 FPS
 after i unpause xmms, FPS will drop down very low (~10 FPS or s.th.) for 
 about 1 or 2 seconds (system load is almost 100% during that period), 
 and then go up to 150 again (with low sys-load)
 

after updating today, gears is up at 2200-2300 FPS again. 
Pausing/unpausing an xmms running in the background, or also changing 
volume still gives me massive slowdowns for about 1 s, after that 
performance goes up to normal again.

I'm using  a CMedia-PCI-Sound-card (CM8738), with kernel oss driver, if 
that matters.


 performance in q3a is also very poor for me at the moment (but it seems 
 fairly stable (played for about 20 min. without lockup/crash, which is 
 better than i used to get with earlier driver builds)

q3a-performance is still as low as yesterday.
one thing that might be interesting: framerate in q3a seems to never get 
above 50. it's mostly around 20-40 (all settings at maximum, 1280x1024).
com_maxfps is at the default value of 85, and monitor vsync is 75 Hz. So 
I'm wondering why the framerate doesn't go beyond 50?

anyway, keep up the nice work, driver are getting better every day, 
thanks ;-)

 I'm pretty unfamiliar with OpenGL programming.  I have an idea for an
 xfree module that I suspect would not be too hard to implement, but I
 wanted to get some other opinions on it.  What I'd like to do is create
 a module called perhaps ogl-xv or glx-xv that would provide a generic
 Xv adapter on the front end and on the back end would implement it
 using openGL calls to basically create an RGB or YUV texture to render
 the video to.  this would have the advantage of acceleration on cards
 with accelerated 3D, and would provide generic Xv support to cards
 lacking an overlay engine by using SW mesa, and it could provide for
 more than one Xv adapter, so you could theoretically have more than one
 Xv at a time.
 

Disclaimer: I'm _not_ a programmer, and I don't know anything about GL 
or XV, so this is merely a blind guess:

you might want to look at the code of mplayer's -vo gl and -vo gl2, 
which provide opengl-video-overlays, to get started

 Is the Hercules 3D Prophet 8500 a good card? (is the 2D stable at

i think it's a fairly decent one. but there are rumors that some 
hercules 8500 cards on the market only have one ramdac (i.e. no 
possibility for dual-head), so I'd double-check that before buying

Also keep in mind that the Hercules 8500 is only clocked at 240MHz 
memory clock, some others have 250MHz.

unfortunately there's such a load of 8500 OEM boards, it's a bit hard 
not to get confused...
I've got a FIC card (8500LE), which seems to be 100% identical with the 
original ati-boards (no traces of FIC in the bios-strings, ati-logos on 
the board, covered with fic-stickers, etc.). I take that as a plus, 
because that way chances are best to get maximum compatibility with the 
retail cards. Mine was even the cheapest on the market that time i 
bought it, so maybe lookout, if you can find this model somewhere


 will it work 2D on a stock X 4.2 ?

yes

 
 what framerate does the beta DRI accel for it give in Quake3 ?

i only tested on a selfmade demo (not an official one), but the 
relative numbers should give you an idea nevertheless:

win98: ~150-160 fps
X, firegl drivers: ~130 fps
X, r200-branch: ~80 fps

keep in mind that the r200 branch is very new, so there's surely room 
for improving the performance

on my system, however, q3a will usually crash after some minutes of 
playing, other people have reported that it runs stable, so your mileage 
may vary

 
 All questions I must know answers to ;)
 
 Might have a chance to upgrade soon! (like, tomorrow, so answer me quick

Hi, as Eric already mentioned, LE is only the marketing name ATI and 
the OEM vendors use to distinguish the faster and slower versions of the 
  8500 boards on the market. Retail boards (core clock 275 MHz, mem 
clock 275 MHz) are usually just called Radeon 8500, whereas the 
cheaper versions (core clock 250 MHz, mem clock ~250 MHz, depending on 
the manufacturer) are called Radeon 8500 LE.
I don't think this corresponds directly to the PCI-ID's

Re: [Dri-devel] R200 video signal lost

2002-07-10 Thread Stefan Lange

Hi Michal!

I'm also playing around with the r200-branch at the moment, and I've got 
better results than you (I tried both jose's snapshots and building from 
cvs). X starts up fine for me, and 3D also works to some extent 
(glxgears, glx-screensavers work for example, but q3a, wolf and so on 
crash after a few minutes of playing). I still got some trouble with Xv, 
sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but that's another story...
Other than that I haven't experienced any 2D errors.


Did you take a look at /var/log/XFree86.0.log, maybe it gives you any 
interesting information why the server won't start (or why it blanks 
your screen)

You could also try to checkout and compile the current cvs rather than 
using the binary snapshots, maybe that makes a difference.

Also, what hardware are you using (mainboard chipset, model of the card, 
cpu ...)? Maybe the current driver works better on some chipsets than on 
others?

 Hi Stefan, good to hear someone got it working.  I'll give the

if you recompile and do a make install, all the files that have been

compiling from cvs shouldn't be a problem, I just followed the DRI

Thanks for the links. Unfortunately Xv still doesn't work for me. But

is that the right way of doing it?

 Yes. Keith said he successfully tested it on a 8500, maybe it depends on
 the other patch.
 
 

OK, i had another look into my problem: I noticed that only 
radeon_xv-2002-03-29-19.diff applies cleanly on the r200 branch. the 
other patch gives me errors. So I first tried to edit the hunks that had 
failed manually, but the result wouldn't compile (not very surprisingly...)

after that i tried to just apply the first patch (the one that applies 
without problems), recompiled everything, et voila: XV is working!

thanks for helping me out again

Re: [Dri-devel] Ann: Radeon 8500 binary snapshots now available

2002-07-05 Thread Stefan Lange

Hi!
I just checked out and compiled the r200-0-1-branch:


 glxgears: ~ 1650 fps


 
 I've just commited a small optimization that gears benefits from.  It 
 may be quite close now...

its about 1720 now ;-)

[...]
 
 A large part of this difference is presumably due to HyperZ - something 
 that we can't implement in an open driver.

what is hyper-z? a proprietary texture-compression function of the r200?
well, as you expected, performance is exactly the same after the 
checkout as before

 
 rtcw (single player): working, but quite slow (performance isn't really
 great with firegl-drivers neither...), crashed after about 10 mins
 
 
 Yes, I haven't had the opportunity to do any long runs of these demos.  
 It's a bit disappointing that they lockup, though.
 

I'm also still experiencing crashes with q3a and wolf, after some 
minutes of playing. Is there anything I can do to help to track down the 
reason (i have to warn you though: i don't have any programming or 
debugging experience)?

oh yeah, one other thing: in the other mail I reported that xv is 
broken: it works fine now for me, so I somehow messed it up before. 
sorry about that

 Keith

Re: [Dri-devel] Parhelia vs. Radeon 8500

2002-06-27 Thread Stefan Lange

German Gomez Garcia wrote:
   Hello, I have some money to spend (finally!!!) so I'm thinking
 of replacing my old G400MAX for a new card, as I prefer open source, I
 have to choose between ATI and Matrox, and the optios (for me) are
 the new Parhelia 512 or the AIW Radeon 8500 DV, I'll buy whatever card
 works better under Linux, as far as I know somebody is working in 3D for
 the 8500 even TCL!!, and the Gatos project has good quality video in/out
 for the AIW DV. The parhelia is quite misterious, but I could wait two
 or three months if the drivers would be good enough. 
 

Just let me give you a short overview about the current status of the 
driver support:

Radeon8500:
2D is supported, including working XVideo provided by the Gatos-project, 
3D is supported by the closed-source FireGL-drivers by ATi.
The FireGL-drivers do not support XV, so you'll have to choose wether to 
use 3D- or video acceleration. It's not a problem running the free/Gatos 
server and the FireGL server at the same time, however, so it's not too 
bad, just a bit uncomfortable. The development of an open-source driver 
for the 8500 is funded by the weather channel, and we will hopefully see 
working drivers by the end of the year.

Parhelia:
Sorry, I don't know if Matrox is planning to support the card in XF86. 
Currently they don't even have a driver for win9x, so it will probably 
be a while. But I may be completely wrong here.

I'd also keep in mind the costs of both cards: You can get a 8500(LE) 
for less than half of what the Parhelia costs.

I hope this helps a bit

Stefan



   I would like to know if anybody from Matrox contacted developers
 here, well, in fact, I would like to know if I should wait for the
 parhelia linux drivers or go for the AIW. What do you think??

Hello Dieter,

I've got a 3rd party 8500LE-card, and it works just fine. However: this 
card is only officially by FIC, but is very identical to the original 
ATi one. The only differences are little FIC-Stickers covering all 
ATi-Logos on the PCB. There's not even a FIC-string in the BIOS-info 
(and it's got 3.6 ns Ram *g*). I guess your mileage with other brands 
will vary, but flashing the BIOS might work.

Re: [Dri-devel] Re: mach64-0-0-4 compiling problems

2002-06-21 Thread Stefan Lange



Another question. I am using the Gatos driver for hardware accelerated
DVD watching. Can I use them together with the DRI Mach64 drivers?


I doubt that mixing these drivers will work, because gatos uses its own 
drm-module (correct me if I'm wrong). You'd probably have to merge both 
codebases, which is not trivial.

You could try a different approach to your problem: Have you tried 
mplayer's xvidix video out driver? It should work fine with a mach64 
card, and be at least as fast as xv, if not faster (i don't know the 
exact numbers)

Greetings,
Michael

 "Marc Wilson" [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/30 4:09  
Ok, perhaps I'm really dense, but what's the advantage of using this over
just using Branden's X debs?  I have 3d acceleration and working DRI for
both my V3 and my G450 as it stands, without adding any further software.

And I can turn it on or off as I want (if I need 24 bit for something, for
example).

So, what's the scoop?

I haven't tried the deb-packages yet, but I have tried the precompiled (cvs)-binaries 
from dri.sourceforge.net, and they offer me a significantly higher performance
(this is important for me as I have a low-end system, and the difference between the 
deb-unstable packages and the sourceforge-packages means that I can now play q3a at a 
reasonable framerate)
