Search This Log:


Ferocanis: has anyone had trouble with vt corruption and x restarting after leaving opengl programs?
MostAwesomeDude: airlied: Huh. Finally got the Fedora box pretty much set up, but I'm getting an "Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig"
MostAwesomeDude: On the other hand, figured out why LIT broke.
rx__: what was it?
rx__: and any particular reason why you're talking in radeonhd? :)
MostAwesomeDude: rx__: It was temp reg dependencies
MostAwesomeDude: rx__: And I'm on Nyquil :3
Firiban: hi
Firiban: is it yet possible to run compiz fusion with this driver and a rv515 chipset?
udovdh: i.e.: you want 3d?
udovdh: check out the lastest git to see if it is already in for your chip
MostAwesomeDude: Well, that chipset is supported.
udovdh: but with 3d?
MostAwesomeDude: But I don't know whether radeonhd's DRI support includes compiz.
MostAwesomeDude: radeon does, though.
Ferocanis: freenode has sooooo many netsplits =(
beuss: DRI is amazine
beuss: *amazing
beuss: thanks for your work, even if it's a pre-version it's on the good way
ndim: Sounds like I should check it out some time.
beuss: ;)
ndim: If only to find out how/whether it can be built for Fedora 9.
beuss: sorry Debian here...
beuss: git-cloned mesa/drm, mesa/mesa and the driver
beuss: compile everything
beuss: mix it with some ice
beuss: add an Option DRI True to your xorg.conf
beuss: and you're donez
ndim: I guess I'll wait until the radeon guys add something like "git-cloned mesa/drm and mesa/mesa" as packages for the radeon driver, and only then update the xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd package.
beuss: m)
Ferocanis: if i'm compiling git mesa, what driver option should i pass it?
g-zu: radeon
g-zu: or r300
g-zu: depends on what you mean by pass
MostAwesomeDude: Ferocanis: --with-driver=dri
Ferocanis: http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Building#head-b2717b670860060b6e52500c5a04c65fae2545f6
Ferocanis: the variable DRI_DIRS i mean
g-zu: basically leave just r300 in DRI_DIRS
MostAwesomeDude: Wow, that's such an old page.
g-zu: and use make linux-dri-x86 or make linux-dri-x86-64 if you use a 64-bit system
Ferocanis: okay
g-zu: mostawsomedude but those instructions still work
g-zu: :)
Ferocanis: well that didn't compile =x
Ferocanis: seems related to a warning "cannot find include file "stddef.h""
g-zu: oh man
g-zu: you need the devel packages for your system
Ferocanis: runs gentoo
g-zu: well, in that case you should have them
g-zu: and anyway
g-zu: there is a mesa-9999 ebuild in x11 overlay
g-zu: that builds mesa for you from git
Ferocanis: i've tried it, just didn't work right
g-zu: worked for me so there might be something wrong either with your system or with current mesa-git
g-zu: try again tomorrow... if it still doesn't work than you have a bigger problem to worry about than dri
Ferocanis: this is from a few days ago, i'll pull again
g-zu: if it doesn't work try doing an emerge -e world on your system before trying again... something might have corrupted your fs
Ferocanis: yeah... that would be a shame
Ferocanis: my install turns one tomorrow :)
Ferocanis: ohhh looks like i'm missing dri2proto?
Ferocanis: know anything about that, g-zu?
Tigerchen: Ferocanis: yes, dri2proto is also in x11-overlay
Tigerchen: Ferocanis: http://rafb.net/p/zeD8ig30.html <-- package.unmask to build xorg+deps from git, running here
Tigerchen: be warned that xf86-video-vesa wont build againt current git of xorg
dagb: is there anything like a feature-matrix for the radeonhd driver? Something like this: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix
dagb: and do all r600 and newer cards support dual-link DVI on both DVI ports, if it has two ports?
