You need to have the kernel module loaded before starting X.  The same
is true of other KMS drivers (intel, nouveau, etc.).  If the drm is not
loaded, the ddx assumes UMS and tries to load the drm.  If it loads in
KMS mode, you don't want two drivers handling the same hw, so the ddx
bails to prevent that.  If you try and load the drm from X and assume
that the kernel is in KMS mode, you break old systems with old kernels
that don't support KMS.  The other problem with having the ddx load the
drm for KMS mode is that with KMS, the drm handles all of the chip init.
With UMS when you load the drm in UMS mode, the kernel module  doesn't
do anything at load time; it just waits until userspace inits the hw and
actually decides to use the drm.  With KMS, we have no way of knowing
when the KMS drm has finished loading or initializing the hw so we may
end up trying to use the KMS drm before it's properly loaded.  It's not
a configuration we want to support.

[Bug 534662]

2019-11-20 Thread Alexdeucher
As of 6.14.3 the ddx will stop loading if the ddx is in UMS mode and the
drm is in KMS mode to prevent display problems.  UMS is no longer
supported in the DDX on Linux.  Support for UMS was removed in xf86
-video-ati git last month.  UMS only supported chips up through
evergreen and the open source 3D drivers dropped UMS support a while
ago.

The open source radeon driver and fglrx are completely different driver
stacks and require some system adjustments to switch between then
(different kernel modules, different ddx, different 3D drivers,
different libgl and libglx, etc.).  It's probably easiest to have a
script to switch the environments between the two drivers or something
like that.

You have to disable tiling in the ddx as well in the device section of you xorg

[Bug 881526]

2015-01-20 Thread Alexdeucher
Both fglrx and radeon support dynamic power management so this does not
likely have anything to do with power management.  It looks like a plain
old GPU hang.  I'd suggest updating your mesa stack in the case of the
open source driver.

There were several suggestions on this bug, but apparently none of them
helped.

A bigger display means more data is being moved around.  It sounds to me
like a chipset issue when large amounts of data are being transferred
across the bus.  KMS uses system memory more readily than UMS did which
is likely why the issues shows up with KMS.  I don't know of any other
options to try in the driver.  We don't have these problems with the
same radeon chips is other systems.  Unfortunately, I'm not a chipset
expert so I'm not sure what sort of pci quirks, etc. to try.

It could also be that the there is an issue in the sound or wifi driver
which didn't show up as readily when there was less traffic on the bug.
As far as I know no one has investigated these avenues very much.
