3D Support Using Generic ATI v.Fedora 11

[HMSS013]

i've heard back and forth about whether the generic ATI drivers in Fedora 11 provides functional 3d support...

...as of installing F11 (64) i was impressed by the initial capability of the generic drivers but no 3d support as Desktop Effects could not be enabled.

( using ATI Radeon HD 2400 )

what are the usual tips and tricks to get 3d functionality in this environment?!

Bad choice of commands on my part: we only really needed the "VGA" section of lspci....

OK, first: it appears that you installed Fedora on some flavor of an Apple, correct? If so: what flavor (architecture) of Fedora - i.e.: x86, x86_64, PPC, or PPC64 ?? I'm thinking that you may have selected the wrong flavor (architecture) of Fedora.

Right now, you do NOT have real 3D video driver support, so no eye-candy:

glxinfo|grep render

direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer

That thing is not the same as the RADEON 3D driver, which should work with your chipset, as I read it: http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATIRadeon

Furthermore:

2D and 3D support available:
[...]
HD2400 denotes a RV610 based card.
[...]

So, as far as I can see, something is wrong, which should be correctable. But I'm not exactly sure what at the moment.

In addition to posting your architecture, please upload your entire log file: /var/log/Xorg.0.log to pastebin.com, and post a link to it here, and we'll review it to see if it provides any clues.

yes... it's a iMac... although i must note that until the major revisions that broke the fglrx... things worked seamlessly.

the Intel Core 2 Duo supports x86_64 architecture... so i use the 64...
(...packages, namely kernel modules work properly, as opposed to the typical yum 386 586 686 mismatching package complications)

it's really a shame that true ATI support has been lost it ...functioned so well...without any 'special needs' tweaking.

Well, here's part of the answer:

390. (WW) RADEON(0): R600 support is mostly incomplete and very experimental

Here's a suggestion:

440. (II) RADEON(0): If you are having trouble with 3D, reduce the desktop size by adjusting the Virtual line to your xorg.conf

And here's the fatal error(s), although I'm not sure why:

766. (EE) AIGLX error: Calling driver entry point failed(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

I have never seen this exact error(s) before, and do not fully understand it - it is not clear what went wrong.

You can generate a hard copy of xorg.conf (if one does not already exist), and play with it: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showpo...06&postcount=2

In particular: I suggest that you add a section like so:

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option         "AIGLX" "on"
EndSection

Re-start of X required.

There are many other things that can be tried, but none (that I know of) that will ensure success. See what happens....

V

P.S. Is your system software fully up-to-date ?

adjusting desktop size yields no results...i also created an xorg.conf but with the AIGLX manually specified ... no results either...

all software is completely up to date...

[Hlingler]

Since you have plenty (128 MB) of VRAM, I would expect no problems due to screen size, and no results from adjusting it.

You did re-start X after the changes, right?

OK, try adding to xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
[...]
        Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
[...]
EndSection

Re-start X, see what happens....

oh yes... i made sure to restart X... (and i must add... that it's quite peculiar that Ctl+Atl+Backspace no longer restarts X)

after adding the above string... X failed to load and shorted out... i then used a Live CD to remove the defunct xorg.conf and restarted...

[Hlingler]

Well, poo. I guess that was a Bad Idea. Remove the last edit, and try instead:

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option         "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection

Re-start X.

I'm shooting somewhat blindly here, so I can't guarantee that things won't fizzle again, so be prepared for more X crashes if this doesn't work. But the suggestions I'm giving are not completely wild guesses either - there is some method to the madness, so... bear with me for now, I won't burden the discussion with long explanations of rhyme and reason, see what happens.

neither of the 'Server Flags' had any effect... things started as usual.

[Hlingler]

"neither of the 'Server Flags' had any effect" - what do you mean: "neither", there's supposed to be only one:

Option         "AIGLX" "off"

A quick Google search for the stated error message(s) shows that this has been around for a while, yet I found no clear fix(es).

If that did/does not work: try switching to the newer RADEONHD driver, although I suspect it may not (yet) have any 3D support - who knows:

Section "Device"
        [...]
        Driver      "radeonhd"
        [...]
EndSection

Re-start of X required. Be prepared for anything....

OK, I see it now: no 3D support for R600-based chipsets (like HD 2400) with RADEON driver until xorg-x11-drv-ati REV. 6.11.0-1 (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/b...ildID=112046):

* Fri Feb 27 2009 Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com> 6.11.0-1
- rebase to latest upstream
- enable R600 acceleration for EXA and Xv.

But "stock" stable is xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.10.0-3. So: you would have to enable updates-testing repo*, and update xorg-x11-drv-ati, clean xorg.conf of all above edits, then re-start X, see what happens....

*EDIT: or fetch it manually from Koji builder, link above.
