| sithlord48 | does the open ati driver allow the use of texture compression ? or will that be something i ned the properitary driver for ? i have an ati4830 | 00:47 |
|---|---|---|
| RAOF | If by “texture compression” you mean the compressed texture formats like S3TC, then “kinda”. | 00:49 |
| sithlord48 | honestly i don't know im trying to play a game in wine and it fails to launch due to lack of hw texture compression support. figure the driver is a good place to start | 00:50 |
| RAOF | I think kernel support landed in 2.6.38, and I think mesa support is in 7.10. That merely leaves you with needing libdxtc. | 00:50 |
| sithlord48 | um 2.6.35 is my kernel | 00:51 |
| RAOF | Well, it's not going to work against anything older than Natty. | 00:51 |
| sithlord48 | ah well then, i would attempt on my netbook but its a pos intel 945 chip... | 00:52 |
| sithlord48 | so for now i would have to use the properiatry driver if i wanted that option? | 00:52 |
| RAOF | Yes. | 00:52 |
| RAOF | And you'd need to build libdxtc, too, which isn't packaged in the archives. | 00:53 |
| RAOF | (Although I guess it might want to be; sucky patents!) | 00:53 |
| sithlord48 | the only issue i have w/ that is that driver breaks my xsever basicly after every kernel upgrade. | 00:53 |
| RAOF | You're installing from the Ubuntu packages, right? | 00:53 |
| sithlord48 | no .. | 00:54 |
| RAOF | Well, don't do that; it'll break your xserver each kernel upgrade :) | 00:54 |
| sithlord48 | no no ... from the ati page., the included driver is almost always old. | 00:54 |
| RAOF | Right. But it *works*. | 00:54 |
| sithlord48 | very true.. | 00:55 |
| sithlord48 | or i can upgrade to natty.. | 00:55 |
| sithlord48 | i have it on my netbook , just i compile w/ this so i try to keep it as "current" but i can just set up a vm easily. | 00:55 |
| sithlord48 | well thank you for the info RAOF | 00:58 |
| RAOF | Sponsor trawl time! Who'd like to upload a re-enabled IA32 assembler version of mesa? | 04:48 |
| tjaalton | RAOF: yeah | 06:41 |
| tjaalton | RAOF: looks like was uploaded already | 06:59 |
| leshaste | hi | 08:18 |
| leshaste | do I report problems with xorg-edgers to the ubuntu bugzilla? | 08:31 |
| === Amaranth__ is now known as Amaranth | ||
| tjaalton | leshaste: what problems? if they are upstream bugs they should go to bugs.freedesktop.org | 08:50 |
| hrw | hi | 09:03 |
| hrw | someone has a cure for radeon GPU lookup? | 09:04 |
| tjaalton | hrw: is it reported on launchpad? | 09:04 |
| hrw | I will check after reboot - now I am using other machine which lacks good browser speed | 09:05 |
| hrw | [490105.390045] radeon 0000:01:00.0: GPU lockup CP stall for more than 10100msec | 09:05 |
| hrw | [490105.390086] GPU lockup (waiting for 0x004D1010 last fence id 0x004D100D) | 09:05 |
| tjaalton | so you haven't reported it there yet+ | 09:06 |
| tjaalton | ? | 09:06 |
| tjaalton | that's the first step | 09:06 |
| hrw | first is "check is it reported" and I will do | 09:06 |
| hrw | ok, reboot | 09:08 |
| RAOF | bryceh: We should now be ready for 1.10RC3, right? | 09:17 |
| tjaalton | why not final? | 09:18 |
| RAOF | The build broke between RC3 and final. | 09:24 |
| tjaalton | so revert the commit that broke it with a patch | 09:24 |
| tjaalton | ? | 09:24 |
| tjaalton | or maybe not. which commit was it btw? | 09:26 |
| RAOF | One of the doc ones. Back after dinner. | 09:26 |
| leshaste | tjaalton: I get lots of image/font corruption | 09:31 |
| tjaalton | leshaste: sounds upstreamish, file on b.fd.o | 09:31 |
| leshaste | tjaalton: could you give me a hand with that? It's not obvious to me which component for example | 09:32 |
| tjaalton | leshaste: what hw? | 09:32 |
| leshaste | 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 [Radeon Xpress 200G Series] | 09:33 |
| tjaalton | product xorg, component driver/radeon | 09:33 |
| leshaste | ok.. thanks.. Then it asks for the version. http://pastebin.com/3zuERScS is the X log | 09:34 |
| leshaste | I see X.Org X Server 1.8.2 but it wants 7.x | 09:34 |
| tjaalton | oh, please test natty first | 09:34 |
| hrw | re | 09:35 |
| leshaste | I can't really do that easily | 09:35 |
| tjaalton | livecd out of the question? | 09:35 |
| hrw | I found it - bug 729717 | 09:35 |
| ubot4` | Launchpad bug 729717 in xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) "WARNING: at /build/buildd/linux-2.6.38/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_fence.c:248 radeon_fence_wait 0x2ea/0x350 radeon (affects: 1) (heat: 8)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/729717 | 09:35 |
| leshaste | xorg-edgers is meant t up to date no? | 09:35 |
| tjaalton | you have the maverick kernel for instance | 09:35 |
| leshaste | tjaalton: I have the latest xorg-edgers one for lucid I believe | 09:36 |
| tjaalton | and I'm not sure if mesa in edgers is updated | 09:36 |
| tjaalton | oh lucid | 09:36 |
| tjaalton | totally unsupported combination I guess :) | 09:36 |
| leshaste | there is "== New in Mesa - 03/08/2011 ==" at https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa | 09:36 |
| tjaalton | try natty alpha3 livecd and then file a bug if there's one | 09:36 |
| tjaalton | on launchpad | 09:37 |
| leshaste | the xorg edgers page does say you can report bugs! | 09:37 |
| tjaalton | so file one | 09:37 |
| leshaste | but maybe on launchpad not freedesktop right? | 09:37 |
| tjaalton | I don't know all the answers.. | 09:37 |
| tjaalton | the first question will be to test on natty anyway... | 09:37 |
| hrw | I added apport informations to bug | 09:37 |
| leshaste | tjaalton: ok.. back to the other question.. what 7.x version corresponds to X.Org X Server 1.8.2 ? | 09:38 |
| tjaalton | leshaste: you don't need to specify that | 09:38 |
| leshaste | ok | 09:39 |
| tjaalton | still, they are going to ask to test with the latest kernel.. | 09:39 |
| leshaste | in the subject, they like to have useful information :) | 09:39 |
| tjaalton | so please try with natty alpha3 first | 09:39 |
| leshaste | how? | 09:40 |
| jcristau | useful information is 'test with a recent version' | 09:40 |
| tjaalton | leshaste: download a livecd, boot with that | 09:40 |
| leshaste | oh I see | 09:40 |
| tjaalton | no need to install anything | 09:40 |
| leshaste | good point | 09:40 |
| leshaste | ok.. It's all a little frustrating as it all worked fine until lucid | 09:40 |
| tjaalton | if you can reproduce the problem easily, then you should be able to confirm if it's still there or not | 09:40 |
| leshaste | hardy was great :) | 09:40 |
| leshaste | I can reproduce it .. there is a web page that seems to do the trick | 09:41 |
| tjaalton | hrw: sure it's the same bug? | 09:41 |
| leshaste | intrepid/jaunty were fine too | 09:41 |
| tjaalton | hrw: ok the dmesg oops does look similar | 09:42 |
| tjaalton | hrw: you could try to install the -7 kernel by hand | 09:43 |
| tjaalton | linux-image-2.6.38-7-generic | 09:44 |
| tjaalton | not sure if it's built yet though | 09:44 |
| hrw | sure | 09:44 |
| hrw | installing | 09:47 |
| hrw | amazing... first time I got gpu lockup so fast after reboot | 09:51 |
| hrw | ok, booting to 2.6.8-7.35 | 09:51 |
| leshaste | hi | 11:12 |
| leshaste | bryceh: turns out that 2.6.38 fixes the problem but 2.6.35 does not | 11:12 |
| leshaste | any idea what [ 24.456286] [drm:radeon_get_legacy_connector_info_from_bios] *ERROR* Unknown connector type: 8 means though? | 11:14 |
| lesshaste | hi.. somewhere between 2.6.35 and 2.6.38 the radeon driver was fixed for my system. which means that it doesn't really work for lucid or maverick at least | 13:55 |
| lesshaste | is this of interest to anyone? | 13:55 |
| tjaalton | not really :) | 14:03 |
| tjaalton | unless you can bisect it | 14:03 |
| tjaalton | which is close to being hopeless | 14:04 |
| lesshaste | that was my bisection :) | 14:04 |
| lesshaste | after maverick and before 2.6.38 :) | 14:04 |
| lesshaste | I can tell you exactly how to reproduce it and what the drm error is too | 14:05 |
| lesshaste | actually if I could easily install 36 and 37 then I could just test those | 14:05 |
| lesshaste | it's not hard to do | 14:05 |
| lesshaste | is there a nice way to do this? | 14:05 |
| Sarvatt | lesshaste: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 14:07 |
| lesshaste | Sarvatt: oh yes I have all those already | 14:19 |
| lesshaste | that's how I got 2.6.38 | 14:19 |
| lesshaste | well if anyone were interested, I would be happy to say where the problem was fixed | 14:20 |
