Arch Linux changes: - changed radeon kms enabled by default

Anyone taking care of the libdrm, mesa, libgl, ati-dri and xf86-video-ati rebuild so all the benefits of kms can be fully used? As far as I know it is needed to make this work as well as possible with ATI cards.

The KMS problem was expected and Andy will probably take care of it very soon.

The mirrors should get the rebuilt/updated packages soon. Please report if KMS is working for you. KMS is very soon freezing my desktop without entries in Xorg or everything log file :(

Ok i do more research and 3d working now. This is what i find:

1) file /lib/firmware/radeon/R600_rlc.bin is missing from kernel26-firmware.

2) This file can only be loaded if you use kms late start (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI#Late_start).

3) To use early start (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI#Early_start) the file should be included in initramfs ... but i really dont know how ...

Add it to FILES in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf. -- Tavian Barnes

It is automatically added during initramfs (re)generation.

When booting the kernel, I noticed a long hang (180s according to udev) while loading my modules. It times out and fails to load. Looking into it I found out that the module "parport_pc" was causing the problem. Manually loading this module also times out (but doesn't crash the kernel). I'm using x86_64 on an Acer TravelMate 6592. This is my lspci -vv output: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/184074/

Help appreciated :)

You don't seem to have a parallel port on your computer, so you could just blacklist parport_pc. -- Pelle

If you mean: ati-dri-7.7-2 libdrm-2.4.18-3 libgl-7.7-2 mesa-7.7-2 xf86-video-ati-6.12.99.git20100227-1 xorg-server-1.7.5-2 that are already available at ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/testing/os/$ARCH/ then no go for me, always the same error when trying to insert radeon: FATAL: Error inserting radeon (/lib/modules/2.6.33-ARCH/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) and 'dmesg | grep radeon' outputs: radeon: Unknown symbol drm_vblank_cleanup This while trying to enable late KMS. X still starts though, xdriinfo reports that there is no dri and xvinfo outputs what is expected. This happens with an r3xx (X600XT) card and an rv610 (HD2400) card.

Arch Linux changes: - merged ext2/ext3 support into ext4 module When there is ext2/ext3 in MODULES in mkinitcpio.conf instead of filesystem in HOOKS (as on my VPS), then image that is automatically regenerated during kernel26 package update will be broken.

I'm not sure how many people can be hit by this. Most should have filesystems in HOOKS, and it is recommended to read the output during upgrade (but mkinitcpio says SUCCESS, so this can be overlooked).

Filesystem autodetection for the filesystems hook will work fine. I think I forgot the MODULES= case. I can probably push out a small fix later.

Works great ... but no ATI 3d.

libdrm, mesa, libgl, ati-dri and xf86-video-ati need to be rebuild to use dri2

Ignacio

The new kernel seems to work just fine on all my machines, however there is no kms love. Booting without recompiling anything makes xdriinfo say there is no dri acceleration and xvinfo says there are no xv capable adaptors, however all apps seem to work smoothly (didn't test video). Recompiling libdrm and friends from abs (as explained in the wiki) makes xv work but no dri or kms, when trying to modprobe radeon the following message is issued: FATAL: Error inserting radeon (/lib/modules/2.6.33-ARCH/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) Checking dmesg shows: radeon: Unknown symbol drm_vblank_cleanup However the system still boots and starts X without hangups so not a big show stopper. I'll just wait for mesa and friends to catch up and I'll give it another go (this shouldn't take long I guess).

Enjoy have fun and give me feedback,

I have Intel 965GM video and I get this: input: Video Bus as /devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/PNP0A03:00/LNXVIDEO:01/input/input5 ACPI: Video Device [VID1] (multi-head: yes  rom: no  post: no) [Firmware Bug]: Duplicate ACPI video bus devices for the same VGA controller, please try module parameter "video.allow_duplicates=1"if the current driver doesn't work.

However, I don't see any consequences. Everything works as usual, so perhaps this is not new, I just don't check the dmesg often.

I now have that after the update too and can not remember seeing it earlier.

See http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=... and http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13577 If your display is still fine and brightness control works, I suppose you can safely ignore that.
