[Bug 334101] Re: FFe: Xv and EXA not supported on R6xx/R7xx chipsets
I would just like to report my success on installing the radeon-drivers and getting smooth video rendering and a working xvideo. For me, however, radeonhd doesn't work very well so I have to use the radeon driver and modify my xorg.conf in order for it to use the radeon driver instead of the radeonhd driver by default. Using the radeonhd driver makes the refresh rate of my monitor too low, and I am unable to change it under Preferences->Display (the only refresh rate present there is "0 Hz"). And changing the resolution causes the colors on the screen to get very odd (light green, purple etc.) But, fortunately, with the radeon driver everything works perfectly. Refresh rate is 85 Hz as usual, and under Preferences->Display I can see this refresh rate and not just "0 Hz". So, in short, this is what worked for me: Installing the following packages from Tormod's PPA (https://launchpad.net/~tormodvolden/+archive/ppa): (I had to remove the old version of xserver-xorg-video-radeon first) xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.12.99+git20090710.43db263d-0ubuntu0tormod_i386.deb (197.1 KiB) xserver-xorg-video-ati-dbg_6.12.99+git20090710.43db263d-0ubuntu0tormod_i386.deb (201.5 KiB) xserver-xorg-video-radeon_6.12.99+git20090710.43db263d-0ubuntu0tormod_i386.deb (507.7 KiB) xserver-xorg-video-radeon-dbg_6.12.99+git20090710.43db263d-0ubuntu0tormod_i386.deb (1.5 MiB) Follow instructions on http://wiki.x.org/wiki/radeonhd%3Ar6xx_r7xx_branch for building new versions of radeon.ko and drm.ko.

update-manager has this code enabled. It automatically gets the latest
fglrx-modules.alias.override from fglrx-modaliases and checks against
that. If fglrx is in use and no longer supported it shows:
_("Upgrading may reduce desktop "
"effects, and performance in games "
"and other graphically intensive "
"programs."),
_("This computer is currently using "
"the AMD 'fglrx' graphics driver. "
"No version of this driver is "
"available that works with your "
"hardware in Ubuntu "
"9.04.\n\nDo you want to continue?"))
and if the user accepts it will remove fglrx and rewrite xorg.conf to use "ati"
instead.

Martin, wrong bug? This one is about r6xx and r7xx cards, which do not need any transition. Also, the transition concerns "pre-6xx", since the new fglrx does not support 5xx AFAIK. Tim and Fabio, I think we can deal with additional commits on a per-case basis.

[Bug 334101] Re: FFe: Xv and EXA not supported on R6xx/R7xx chipsets
I'm guessing that by "the driver" you mean "an ati driver" which was probably the closed source fglrx. The answer is; It still works just as well, except that Jaunty is using a later release of Xorg, and ATI haven't released a build of their driver that matches; and so it doesn't work on the current Xorg in Jaunty. THIS driver is new-ish and has always been poor on newer hardware AFAIK, it's just that more people are having to use it sooner than they thought because ATI are taking their time releasing their closed source driver. Some people are using the old intrepid Xorg server so they can keep using the closed source drivers. -- FFe: Xv and EXA not supported on R6xx/R7xx chipsets https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/334101 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Taking a top from Niels Slot, I purged packages with "fglrx" in the name and now I find: $ lsmod | grep radeon radeon357408 2 drm 203296 3 radeon which is what I expect. I also find much improvement. Page-down in firefox is faster - almost instant, but arrow-down is still slow. Painting of the wallpaper is also nearly instant, and when I log in I can see five shades of wall-paper as it fades in from grey instead of two shades painting very slowly. So - I think I now have the improvements that are to be expected at this stage. I'll report on crashes if i get any more.

Hmm :-) Until 3 days ago I used intrepid on my Vaio FW21E, with the radeon driver, and it did not feel sluggish at all. Although I could not enable KDE's desktop effects, overall drawing performance seemed very good. In jaunty, X uses more CPU and painting is much slower, in comparison. I stopped using the fglrx driver a while ago since it causes too many wakeups, and KDE 2D drawing performance was awful. -- FFe: Xv and EXA not supported on R6xx/R7xx chipsets https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/334101 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

A "thank you" to everyone working on this; I have a 780G and literally couldn't wait, so built the new DRM and have it working nicely with the 6.11 drivers. The improvement (even without giving 6.12 a shot) is quite dramatic for the basics of Firefox scrolling and window dragging. For those who aren't having luck, this falls under "theoretically terribly obvious" but might deserve mention: Are you sure you've placed the modules in the right paths? The X.org instructions assume a hierarchy of drivers/char/drm/ while Ubuntu's 2.6.28-9 is using drivers/gpu/drm/ (and drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/). Following the instructions blindly and then relying on modprobe or a reboot to take care of things will probably result in loading the "old" versions. -- FFe: Xv and EXA not supported on R6xx/R7xx chipsets https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/334101 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've been using Tormod's -ati git20090305.5dc4b69f packages on RV670 for the last few days with kernel modules compiled according to the instructions from the RadeonHD wiki. I switched to the -ati package in main yesterday, so far no difference. KDE4's desktop effects work when using XRender, they are a bit slow though, but usable. Xv acceleration works great and is a huge improvement in comparison to Fglrx and older open source drivers because it gives me tear free video playback. It would be great to get the kernel bits into Jaunty and to have out-of- the-box 2D and video acceleration on all ATI Radeon chips. BTW, I also tried installing the latest drivers on my Hardy installation. The drivers installed fine, but I got really slow scrolling, especially in Firefox and Yakuake (KDE3 Konsole). I blamed my Fglrx and old X.org installation, a clean Jaunty installation gave no problems at all. -- FFe: Xv and EXA not supported on R6xx/R7xx chipsets https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/334101 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 334101] Re: FFe: Xv and EXA not supported on R6xx/R7xx chipsets
** Description changed: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati [Proposed Change] When released, review the code changes and, if acceptable, merge the -ati 6.12.0 driver into main, along with its required kernel changes. [Explanation] The 6.11.0 -ati driver in Jaunty supports Xv for video acceleration up to R5xx chips, but newer chips (R6xx/R7xx) lack support, so videos in mplayer, totem, et al only work with the x11 driver, which means that the movie cannot be played at full-screen size, and other assorted problems. In addition, the 6.11.0 -ati driver does not provide 2D acceleration via EXA. This causes problems scrolling in firefox and other applications, makes window movement sluggish, and various other related problems. The upcoming 6.12.0 driver promises to correct both of these issues, and bring bug fixes related to supporting 6xx/7xx in general. [Rationale for Exception] With EXA and Xv for 6xx/7xx in -ati, we gain full basic 2D support with Ubuntu's main default drivers for the latest ATI hardware currently on the market. Since we still do not have a version of the proprietary -fglrx driver for Jaunty yet, having 6xx/7xx support in -ati also provides us with a contingency solution in case that driver is not delivered in time for beta freeze. We are carrying a handful of high priority bugs related to 6xx/7xx - support in -ati (ex. #206075, #243365, #267185, #272406, #273510, - #319930, #325394). I anticipate that 6.12.0 will solve the bulk of - these bugs (we'll need to have the reporters re-test to be sure). + support in -ati (ex. bug #206075, bug #243365, bug #267185, bug #272406, + bug #273510, bug #319930, bug #325394). I anticipate that 6.12.0 will + solve the bulk of these bugs (we'll need to have the reporters re-test + to be sure).

I see in the upstream git log that there's been some additional fixes to R600 since this git snapshot was made, however I anticipate we'll see 6.12.0 out in time to pull in before beta so will wait for now. If for some reason that doesn't come, I'll either pull a newer snapshot or cherrypick those patches, since they look quite relevant. -- FFe: Xv and EXA not supported on R6xx/R7xx chipsets https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/334101 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm running Bryce's packages, but without acceleration (I'm guessing it's the missing kernel bits that prevent it). There don't seem to be any particular issues except the (expected) slowness from lack of acceleration.

Maybe you can try the -ati/-radeon packages in my PPA, https://launchpad.net/~tormodvolden/+archive/ppa -- FFe: Xv and EXA not supported on R6xx/R7xx chipsets https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/334101 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 334101] Re: FFe: Xv and EXA not supported on R6xx/R7xx chipsets
In addition to my previous comment, its not just moving windows, it's also scrolling in Firefox -- it's now unbearably bad. Thankfully I use Konqueror most of the time, but I will be forced to downgrade to 6.11 for the sake of the times I need Firefox, unless there is some way of fixing this. -- FFe: Xv and EXA not supported on R6xx/R7xx chipsets https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/334101 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 334101] Re: FFe: Xv and EXA not supported on R6xx/R7xx chipsets
I've tried your 6.12 packages, my results are: - moving top level windows is worse than ever (you can see the update as it goes down the screen). Strangely, moving plasma windows on the KDE4 desktop is OK. - no other changes (i.e. video still very poor frame rate etc). However: - Maybe I need to enable stuff in my xorg.conf? Currently I have no xorg.conf at all - Maybe I need some kernel updates? (but what? no details have been given about what kernel is needed).

FFe approved assuming this is landing pre-beta. If it's not going to land until after beta, we would need to discuss in more detail.

6.12.0 will not drop support for any hardware. Anecdotally, each of the 3-4 persons who have tested it on pre-6xx hardware so far (because they were experiencing various problems with the current version) reported that things improved (fewer glitches, better performance, etc.) and none have reported regressions so far. That's not enough testers to really draw any conclusions yet, but so far so good. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- FFe: Xv and EXA not supported on R6xx/R7xx chipsets https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/334101 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Does 6.12 drop support for any models which 6.11 supports? With my release hat on, it seems we need to bite that bullet, even if new versions of drivers become more risky at that point; we should get that in before jaunty beta, even if it means to temporarily ship an upstream snapshot instead of the final 0.6.12 release. -- FFe: Xv and EXA not supported on R6xx/R7xx chipsets https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/334101 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Description changed: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati [Proposed Change] When released, review the code changes and, if acceptable, merge the -ati 6.12.0 driver into main, along with its required kernel changes. [Explanation] The 6.11.0 -ati driver in Jaunty supports Xv for video acceleration up to R5xx chips, but newer chips (R6xx/R7xx) lack support, so videos in mplayer, totem, et al only work with the x11 driver, which means that the movie cannot be played at full-screen size, and other assorted problems. In addition, the 6.11.0 -ati driver does not provide 2D acceleration via EXA. This causes problems scrolling in firefox and other applications, makes window movement sluggish, and various other related problems. The upcoming 6.12.0 driver promises to correct both of these issues, and bring bug fixes related to supporting 6xx/7xx in general. [Rationale for Exception] With EXA and Xv for 6xx/7xx in -ati, we gain full basic 2D support with Ubuntu's main default drivers for the latest ATI hardware currently on the market. Since we still do not have a version of the proprietary -fglrx driver for Jaunty yet, having 6xx/7xx support in -ati also provides us with a contingency solution in case that driver is not delivered in time for beta freeze. We are carrying a handful of high priority bugs related to 6xx/7xx support in -ati (ex. #206075, #243365, #267185, #272406, #273510, #319930, #325394). I anticipate that 6.12.0 will solve the bulk of these bugs (we'll need to have the reporters re-test to be sure).
