In fact it's because I have a video projector on the hdmi connector and
an audio amplifier on the dvi connector. I guess the driver is trying to
get SAD on the videoproj, which doesn't work. When I unplug the
videoproj the message disappears.

Well same problem. It worked once for a few seconds, then it blocked.
And strangely enough the HD2600 doesn't work with debian's 3.13, the
sound is too slow (bad sample rate), I had to go back to 3.12.

Well some are more expected than others, as in "ah, 2 connectors used on an

Does that patch enable more than 2 channels (without resorting to
A52-encoded audio) on capable chipsets ? I can't tell from the patch,
the only thing I can see is
int channels = r600_audio_channels(rdev);
which doesn't look like there's much change.

HDMI audio routing (?)

2011-11-25 Thread Xavier Bestel
Hi,

apparently when starting the Xorg server (on an RV630), the HDMI audio
packets are routed only on the first output with something plugged in
and powered on.
This causes it to route audio to the videoprojector (which has no audio
output), not to the audio amplifier connected to the other DVI output.

Is there any way to workaround this ?

Thanks,
Xav

Oh sorry, I realize I forgot an important component: kernel is
2.6.37-trunk-amd64 (from experimental), which probably explains why the
newer libdrm, and is definitely *not* squeeze. I needed it for the newer
KMS in there AFAIR.

The 3D part is handled by the r300 mesa driver for older cards (but not
older than radeon 9700), and r600 for the newer ones (I can't remember
the starting card). I don't know which cards are handled by the
r600_dri.so bundled in squeeze.
Note that I'm now speaking about things I barely know about.

For my part I prefer to have KMS because of the power-management of the
card. I don't know if you can live with a more recent kernel or if you
absolutely need a pure squeeze.
I may try booting into UMS mode, but that machine is heavily used a home
and rebooting isn't that easy. I'll tell you when/if I try.

I don't think they're listening to you. The ATI guys here are just devs,
on a side-project (the main one being Catalyst). AFAICS OSS linux
support isn't a selling point (for now ?).

I'm using an HD2600 under squeeze. I have updated the libdrm* packages
to the unstable version (2.4.23-0.0), I can't remember why and maybe
it's even unneeded, but otherwise I think it's all squeeze:
xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:6.13.1-2+squeeze1
xserver-xorg-core 2:1.7.7-11
libgl1-mesa-dri 7.8.2-2

It works well, does OpenGL sufficiently to run XBMC. Sometimes Xorg
happens to die when playing movies, but it's quite rare.

So now it sort-of works, but I have to boot with the monitor
disconnected, then plug it afterwards. I have some "stereo mode not
supported" messages in the log, but I can hear some sound.
So first question: why is that, and how to make sound go to the right
connector ? I tried switching the connectors, but same result. I don't
switch off that machine very often, but having to unplug/replug isn't
that practical.


Then, I have a little problem: there's only a 2-channels mode supported.
When using speaker-test from ALSA package, all other configuration
result in:
[r...@awak:~]$ LANG=C speaker-test -D hw:1,3 -c 5

speaker-test 1.0.23

Playback device is hw:1,3
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 5 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Channels count (5) not available for playbacks: Invalid argument
Setting of hwparams failed: Invalid argument

Passthrough-mode with DTS or Dolby works, but as it causes its share of
troubles I'd prefer for n-channels (with n!=2) to work.
Does someone know how do to that ?

Thanks,

HDMI audio on HD 2600 not working

2011-01-09 Thread Xavier Bestel
Hi,

I've just bought an (used) HDMI audio amp (Yamaha RX-V1600) and tried to
connect it to my HTPC (pc running XBMC, debian/squeeze using
xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:6.13.1-2+squeeze1 + kernel 2.6.37-rc7-amd64,
with a Radeon RH 2600), via a DVI-to-HDMI cable. There are 2 cables
running from the card, one to the amp, an other one to a monitor.

The problem is that I can't hear anything on the amp. Here are the
outputs on the machine:
[r...@awak:~]$ aplay -l
 List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices 
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Here's how I try to play something:
[r...@awak:~]$ aplay -D hw:1,3 /usr/share/sounds/shutdown1.wav 
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/shutdown1.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, 
Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
Warning: rate is not accurate (requested = 44100Hz, got = 48000Hz)
 please, try the plug plugin 

... which does nothing (note that I don't fully dismiss the possibility
I could have misconfigured that complex beast of an amp). I don't care
too much about the wrong rate for now.

When reading the apm's documentation, they say the HDMI device has to
support HDCP. Could that be the problem ? Is there something to
configure somewhere to have that activated ?

Thanks,

Are you sure it's not just Wine taking advantage of RandR and changing
resolution on the fly ?
Maybe try to disable use of (X)RandR on Wine (if it's at all possible)
to have it use some sort of software scaling.

Which one to buy ?

2010-11-13 Thread Xavier Bestel
Here comes that time again: I have to buy a graphic card, I want to buy
a radeon, not too long/wide (limited space in the box), reasonably
recent and powerful, to be used in a debian/sid system.
What do I buy if I want 3D (compiz at least) now, or at least very
soon ?
I guess if AMD pours money on linux support, it's because they want
their stuff to be bought. But it's not clear yet when the latest gen is
usable without fglrx.

Yes, rotation was working well - before I changed my RV350 for an R6xx.
Sorry for not reporting it sooner.

Radeon 9600XT for a developer

2010-01-07 Thread Xavier Bestel
Hi,

my old pc died, the new one has no AGP slot, so I have an unused radeon
9600XT AGP (it's an RV360) lying around.
If a developer has a need for it, please contact me.

Yes, of course.

It happens again, even if Xorg tells:
(==) RADEON(0): Using AGP 4x

Curiously, playing with compiz doesn't do anything, it's just a
screensaver (opengl slideshow). Maybe because transfering images to
textures exercises the AGP bus too much.

I'll try bustype PCI sometime.

I had a quick look, I didn't know it was so specific !
Apparently from your commit, some 9600XT could run at mode 8 on some
other chipsets. I doubt that (mine never run well at mode 8, and I
changed motherboard twice).

That was it, thanks. However, if my memory serves me good, there was a
time when this option was needed for my card, and a version (last year)
of xserver-xorg-video-radeon started to guess right how to configure my
card. It seems the newest one has lost how to do it properly.

Ahem *blushes* ... so we're down to .002s to draw an HD screen, 1/10th
of a frame at 50Hz. I don't know what's the duration of a vblank with an
LCD using reduced blanking, but it should fit in.

That would mean the engine isn't way faster than the beam, which I
thought was doubtful but after seeing the fillrate¹ of an r300 seems
plausible: around 1 Gtex/s means an HD screen (1920*1080 = 2 Gpix) would
take 2s to draw ... 
I must have missed something, it looks way too slow.

I thought a cache flush acted like a barrier, i.e. even if reordered
between them all writes before the flush should go.

That means the player can discriminate between textured and overlay
adaptors, and know if it's in a composited environment. More clientspace
hackery.

Ah, silly me ! I read the manpage too fast and tried xv:port=1 ...
Anyway, as it's not so easy in totem and xine, and using the cmdline

texturedvideo adapter truncated in fullscreen

2008-02-24 Thread Xavier Bestel
Hi,

I tested with joy the brand new texturedvideo adapted in git, on an r300
(radeon 9600 XT). It works ! It works under compiz ! And it wobbles and
rotates on the cube, etc. Thanks :)

There's a little trouble though: when I put the video fullscreen, the
bottom of the video is blank. It's like the video height is limited to
something like 1024 (my screen is 1920x1200).

Oh, and also I had to invert the adapters order (texturevideo in #0 and
overlay in #1), otherwise no way to test it. But as it seems to use a
bit more CPU, maybe the order should be dependant on wether composite is
activated.

Thanks,
Xav

Apparently yes.
But now I tried the latest driver (including your rotated acceleration),
and the lowest fifth of the screen isn't updated anymore (with
colortiling on or off, virtual area square or rectangular).
Still a damage problem apparently.

Indeed it does, but the lowest fifth of the (non-rotated) screen is
never repainted. So when I move a window, it looks like it goes
'underneath' that part.

Disabling colortiling makes it work.
Do I need to test something else ?

Ok, fair enough.
I've tried with metacity, and you're right it's damn slow.
But the display is also corrupted. All the pixel on the right of the
(non-rotated) screen are garbled, I'd say on the last fifth of the
display.
I took a screenshot, but on the screenshot everything is allright. So
the corruption happens only on-screen.

FWIW, I can't reproduce it now.
Maybe the new version fixed something (but I didn't see anything in the
git commits that could).

It didn't happen with 1:6.7.198~git20080101.f65374f5-1 but now it
happens with 1:6.7.198~git20080102.30cab1db-1

Ah, I changed 1 thing in xorg.conf in-between: I uncommented Option
"AGPMode" "4" (it looks like it helps with my lockups, so far so good).

I'm running compiz, nothing else extravagant. Apparently it happened at
startup, because now I'm watching the log and it doesn't happen any
more, even when moving/resizing windows.

DMA IRQ ping-pong

2008-01-02 Thread Xavier Bestel
Hi,

I have an ATI radeon 9600 XT, and I'm tracking the debian experimental
driver (last version is 1:6.7.198~git20080101.f65374f5-1). I still have
some random lockups, but they are few and far between (say once or twice
a week), so not so easy to track.

On strange thing I have observed in the log is that the DMA IRQ
allocated varies between the runs. Here's the diff between the last two
logs:
-(II) RADEON(0): [drm] dma control initialized, using IRQ 17
+(II) RADEON(0): [drm] dma control initialized, using IRQ 16

This time the version changed, but sometimes just a reboot can trigger
this. It's always IRQ 16 or 17.

Is that ok ?

Thanks,
Xav

I'm not sure either, the only thing I see is that there's a new kernel:
2.6.23-2 (based on 2.6.23.10), but all changes look driver- or
kvm-related.

Hi,

I'm back from holidays and wanted to try that. However:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/git/Xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati]$ git-bisect bad ce4fa1ce
fatal: Needed a single revision

Do I have another mean to specify that commit ?

(BTW, I installed 1:6.7.197-1 from unstable and it's stable).

Thanks,
Xav

I keep being told about it, but I must have a bird's memory ...

With 6.7.196-2 I see no interesting changes in the log, except maybe for
that:
-(II) RADEON(0): [drm] dma control initialized, using IRQ 16
+(II) RADEON(0): [drm] dma control initialized, using IRQ 17

I'll try forcing AGPmode when I get back home.

Thanks,
Xav

The only available versions are 1:6.7.192-3 and 1:6.6.193-3, and I can't
remember what 1:6.7.196-2 was setting as AGP mode.
Do you want me to try one of them ? (At present I can only access my box
remotely, so I can install something else and see the log, but I can't
test with compiz).

Re: Running xrandr on a remote client - possible?

You must first start the X server locally (on the remote client). Either
by login in through gdm, or through ssh by stopping gdm and typing
startx or something equivalent.
Then you can login remotely through ssh and type;
export DISPLAY=:0
and it should work.

If you can't login locally on the remote client, then you'll have to
know which user is logged in (often it's "gdm") and use its Xauthority
credentials. IIRC something like:
export XAUTHORITY=~gdm/.Xauthority
but you may need to setup your permissions to be able to read this file
(e.g. add yourself to the "gdm" group).

Good luck,

Xav

Ask Zack Rusin, he's working precisely on that:

Oh, thanks a lot already. I was just trying to extort some (hard to
find) information for a selfish buying decision.
I guess the r300 driver will be good enough for a while yet.

Thanks again,

Now the obvious question: do you know if AMD & Novell have plans to have
radeonhd work on new cards the day they are out, say from r8xx on ?

Does it mean buying an r6xx now is of no use ? I mean, r7xx could be out
before the radeonhd driver can run compiz.
