| bryceh | what's the best way to tell if I'm running r600 vs. r600g? | 00:13 |
|---|---|---|
| bryceh | ah, glxinfo: OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD RV770 | 00:13 |
| soreau | bryceh: The g in r600g stands for Gallium | 00:20 |
| bryceh | soreau, yes I'm aware ;-) | 00:23 |
| soreau | bryceh: I misread your statement there | 00:24 |
| bryceh | humber:~$ grep r600 /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 00:24 |
| bryceh | [ 236.995] (II) RADEON(0): [DRI2] DRI driver: r600 | 00:24 |
| bryceh | [ 237.000] (II) AIGLX: Trying DRI driver /usr/lib/dri/r600_dri.so | 00:24 |
| bryceh | [ 237.002] (II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized r600 | 00:24 |
| bryceh | was surprised I don't have the 'g' on those. But "r600" == "r600g" here | 00:25 |

| soreau | Hey guys, Im looking in driconf and there are a lot of options missing | 18:17 |
| soreau | even in expert mode | 18:18 |
| soreau | Is there some package missing? | 18:18 |
| LLStarks | bryceh, i'm about to buy a laptop with a 6770m. will i be able to patch fglrx whenever the xserver abi changes or will be stuck with radeon except for april and october? | 18:33 |
| Sarvatt | no you cant patch fglrx for abi changes, we might not do 1.11 for 11.10, and it'll work fine with radeon since its a rebranded 5xxx series | 18:37 |
| soreau | Sarvatt: Any idea about driconf? | 18:39 |
| soreau | Im pretty stumped on this one | 18:39 |
| Sarvatt | soreau: what about it? | 18:39 |
| Sarvatt | sorry, missed those messages umm | 18:39 |
| Sarvatt | what GPU is it? | 18:39 |
| soreau | Sarvatt: It used to have a near plethora of options, now its next to nothing. rv350/r300g | 18:40 |
| LLStarks | sarvatt, oneiric will be 1.10.x? | 18:40 |
| Sarvatt | i'm guessing you're talking about the options that were exposed with r300c instead of r300g | 18:40 |
| soreau | Sarvatt: hmm.. maybe so but it doesnt make sense for gallium to expose less I would think | 18:41 |
| Sarvatt | the options were only there for the classic driver, its not based on the gpu it's based on what the dri driver exposes | 18:41 |
| soreau | ok | 18:41 |
| Sarvatt | LLStarks: its possible, we're going to talk about it at UDS | 18:42 |
| * soreau ppa-purges xorg-edgers to see | 18:43 | |
| Sarvatt | soreau: LIBGL_DRIVER_PATH=/usr/lib/dri-alternates/ driconf should show the r300c ones to be sure | 18:44 |
| soreau | Oh interesting | 18:44 |
| Sarvatt | r300c is in there so it gets loaded when KMS isn't used automatically | 18:45 |
| soreau | Sarvatt: Is that to say, you can run any app with the classic drivers by setting this path? | 18:45 |
| Sarvatt | yep | 18:45 |
| soreau | and these are updated classic drivers from xorg-edgers, not stock ubuntu | 18:45 |
| Sarvatt | its the same in the archive | 18:45 |
| soreau | Sarvatt: ok thanks for that information | 18:46 |
| Sarvatt | libgl1-mesa-dri installs both in both the ppa and natty | 18:46 |
| Sarvatt | the only major changes between the ppa and natty are that i have libtxc_dxtn in there, texture-float is enabled and the tls patches in edgers | 18:47 |
| Sarvatt | oh and the whole libglapi-mesa package split | 18:48 |
| Sarvatt | err tls patches are disabled in edgers which breaks some obscure apps | 18:49 |
| soreau | Sarvatt: s3tc?? | 18:50 |
| Sarvatt | yeah | 18:50 |
| soreau | How does that work to enable/disable it? | 18:50 |
| Sarvatt | the lib should be pulled in automatically so its enabled | 18:50 |
| soreau | But it causes problems for many apps that do not use this compression format.. | 18:50 |
| Sarvatt | many being a few proprietary apps yeah | 18:51 |
| soreau | huh | 18:51 |
| Sarvatt | oh ya mean having it installed causes problems in some apps? | 18:51 |
| soreau | Yes | 18:52 |
| Sarvatt | is that a radeon specific thing? what does the driconf option to enable it default to? | 18:52 |
| soreau | There is no driconf option in gallium exposed apparently | 18:52 |
| soreau | This was actually the problem I was referring to in the first place | 18:53 |
| LLStarks | sarvatt, what makes 1.11+ so prohibitive? i though randr and the rest of xinput2 were safe for later this year. | 18:53 |
| Sarvatt | are you sure the problems were just with the screwed up release? I put the latest 1.0.0 in there | 18:53 |
| Sarvatt | libtxc_dxtn070518 had some nasty bugs in it | 18:55 |
| * Sarvatt has to run, sorry | 18:56 | |
| Sarvatt | soreau: oh you're on maverick? I haven't updated that in months in xorg-edgers, I've been talking about natty all this time sorry | 19:00 |
| soreau | Sarvatt: Well the fact remains.. classic exposes many more options than gallium | 19:00 |
| ScottK | Sarvatt or RAOF: Are you aware of this: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=270942 | 23:41 |
| ubot4 | KDE bug 270942 in compositing "Direct Rendering is wrongfully disabled on Intel graphics since mesa 7 10 1" [Normal,Unconfirmed] | 23:41 |
