A few months ago, radeonhd would not build on Arch Linux. ( See 1/23 - "[radeonhd] latest git update will not build on Arch Linux??" ) Matthias suggested that drm was the issue. So this time I grabbed a fresh copy of drm with git. Then I moved to the r6xx-r7xx-support branch with:
IIRC r6xx-r7xx-support branch was merged with master months and months ago, and I don't recall it ever being resurrected. Don't use it. DRM development for radeon in general has moved off of the separate repo as well. All the new work are now done as part of the mainline kernel.
I'm anxious to test the radeonhd driver. Whatever kernel changes have been made in the past several kernels has really done wonders for the old 'radeon' driver operation (I works nicely) and the changes have also helped with the heat issues (gpu chipset powerdown when idle).
These changes were made in KMS, and are not available for radeonhd. -- Yang Zhao http://yangman.ca -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
