Yeah, it seems there is still some work that needs to go into the kernel and Xorg/Mesa for 3D graphics and modesetting on newer cards. The Mobility/Radeon HD 4xxx are latest cards the kernel radeondrm driver can support at the moment, at least for 2D/Xv. Radeon HD 5000+ are different beasts and only support KMS, some "Mobility" cards may be rebranded/modified 4xxx chips though and might work with patches. -Bryan.

DynamicPM seems to make suspend/resume break on my system, ClockGating works so far. Just a heads up, -Bryan.

I don't currently have them enabled, nor have I done any testing to see if it effects battery life much. I have a patch to do CPU frequency scaling on my AMD and that seems to help, as does using the Fn keys to reduce the brightness. My primary goal was tolerate video playback, and that seems to work well. -Bryan.

Hi Scott, I have a Mobility Radeon HD 4200, indeed, xf86-video-ati in base lacks 2D/3D & XVideo acceleration. Compiling a newer version of the radeon DDX driver "works for me", trying the obsolete "radeonhd" driver is also an option (..I found it unstable). So far, 6.14.0 works.. 6.14.1 does not (X server segfaults). $ ftp http://ftp.x.org/pub/individual/driver/xf86-video-ati-6.14.0.tar.gz $ tar xvzf xf86-video-ati-6.14.0.tar.gz; cd xf86-video-ati-6.14.0/ $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/X11R6 --sysconfdir=/etc --mandir=/usr/X11R6/man \ --with-xorg-module-dir=/usr/X11R6/lib/modules $ make; sudo make install This will trash the installed driver though, so, be prepared if it breaks. Hopefully the base driver will get updated soon. -Bryan.

mplayer video sluggish with Radeon HD 4200
Hi, I'm having an issue where video playback in mplayer is sluggish in full-screen mode with Radeon HD 4200 onboard video. This applies only to -current, with either i386 or amd64. In 4.8-stable (amd64 or i386), Mplayer is perfectly fine in either normal or full-screen mode on the same hardware. x.org.conf, dmesg, xdpyinfo and xvinfo files are below. Mplayer is the same version between 4.8 and -current, but the X.Org version goes from 1.8.2 to 1.9.3. Googling for "mplayer + x.org 1.9.3 + radeon hd 4200" doesn't yield anything useful, and the archives only offer tedu@'s post about using "gl" instead of "x11" for Intel chipsets. I've tried all "vo=" modes available, including "x11", "xv", "gl" and "gl2". x11 works "best", but video playback appears to be somewhat less than 1.00 speed. All frames appear correctly without any distortion, just slower than normal, as if the frame rate was lowered. Audio is fine but out of sync, of course. Has anyone else experienced similar problems / found solutions? I can't find any setting in the man page that corrects this behaviour, but it's worth noting that for full-screen to work, the "zoom=1" setting has to be enabled, even for -stable. I'm out of gas on this. - Scott xvinfo for both -current and 4.8-stable only gives: $ cat xvinfo.output X-Video Extension version 2.2 screen #0 no adaptors present xorg.conf: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "X.org Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice"Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice"Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/OTF/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" EndSection Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "dri" Load "dri2" Load "extmod" Load "glx" Load "record" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "wsmouse" Option "Device" "/dev/wsmouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" EndSection Section "Monitor" #DisplaySize 450 280 # mm Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "HWP" ModelName"HP f2105" HorizSync30.0 - 94.0 VertRefresh 48.0 - 85.0 Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Device" ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: : integer, : float, : "True"/"False", ### : "String", : " Hz/kHz/MHz", ### : "%" ### [arg]: arg optional #Option "NoAccel" # [] #Option "SWcursor" # [] #Option "Dac6Bit" # [] #Option "Dac8Bit" # [] #Option "BusType" # [] #Option "CPPIOMode" # [] #Option "CPusecTimeout" # #Option "AGPMode" # #Option "AGPFastWrite" # [] #Option "AGPSize" # #Option "GARTSize" # #Option "RingSize" # #Option "BufferSize"# #Option "EnableDepthMoves" # [] #Option "EnablePageFlip"# [] #Option "NoBackBuffer" # [] #Option "DMAForXv" # [] #Option "FBTexPercent" # #Option "DepthBits" # #Option "PCIAPERSize" # #Option "AccelDFS" # [] #Option "IgnoreEDID"# [] #Option "DisplayPriority" # [] #Option "PanelSize" # [] #Option "ForceMinDotClock" # #Option "ColorTiling" # [] #Option "VideoKey" # #Option "RageTheatreCrystal"# #Option "RageTheatreTunerPort" # #Option "RageTheatreCompositePort" # #Option "RageTheatreSVideoPort" # #Option "TunerType" # #Option "RageTheatreMicrocPath" # #Option "RageTheatreMicrocType" # #Option "ScalerWidth" # #Option "RenderAccel" # [] #Option "SubPixelOrder" # [] #Option "ShowCache" # [] #Option "DynamicClocks" # [] #Option
