Hi,
first of all, I hope it's correct to post my problem here, if it
belong's elsewhere, please let me know.
As written in the subject, I have problems getting my integrated hd4290
to run with KMS - I'd like to have better 3D hardware acceleration and
support for compositing, which I don't get with or without KMS (in KDE).
# lspci |grep -i radeon
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS880 [Radeon HD
4290]
I tried the following with different kernels - Debians .32, .37 and .38,
the output below is from .38.
# uname -r
2.6.38-1-686-bigmem
xorg.conf is almost empty, only
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false"
to get my mouse and keyboard working.
Mainly the problem is poor performance with KMS:
# glxinfo |egrep -i "render|vendor|direct"
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
-------------------!!!
Software Rasterizer is only with KMS, if I set modeset=0 I don't get this.
# cat /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf
options radeon modeset=1
options radeon agpmode=-1
options radeon dynclks=1
(without the last two lines X freezes)
# dmesg | grep modesetting
[ 58.938155] [drm] radeon kernel modesetting enabled.
[ 58.939307] [drm] initializing kernel modesetting (RS880 0x1002:0x9714).
I think the right modules are loaded:
# lsmod |egrep -i "radeon|drm|kms"
radeon 675484 1
ttm 38552 1 radeon
drm_kms_helper 19765 1 radeon
drm 122248 3 radeon,ttm,drm_kms_helper

radeon,drm_kms_helper,drm,i2c_algo_bit,v4l2_common,eeprom,videodev,i2c_piix4
root at linux:/home/frisco# lsmod |egrep -i "fglrx"
Some maybe useful output to get along with the problem:
