0x95C4:0x17AA:0x210F: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470

Hi, My Lenovo ThinkPad T400 has this card. I tried to install OpenSUSE 11 but X configuration seems to be crashed, I found a text console when I returned to the computer after package installations. Then I tried to run SaX2 manually, but it does not work, it fails with the message: xc: sorry could not start configuration server /var/log/SaX.log contains the following error: (II) RADEONHD(0): Unknown card detected: 0x95C4:0x17AA:0x210F. and finally: (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. Fatal server error: no screens found ] Attached the full SaX.log file. It was created after installing xorg-x11-driver-video-radeonhd-git-20081120.1.x86_64.rpm from the build service, but the error was the same before this upgrade (with the default driver on the openSUSE 11 DVD). I also tried xorg-x11-driver-video-radeonhd-1.2.3_081106_bb14c00-9.6.x86_64.rpm It does not work either, it fails even earlier, with a different error. ("module ABI major version (4) doesn't match the server's version (2)") Is there any solution? Thanks in advance, Peter

Does radeonhd support PAL timings from VGA (interlacing, low dotclock)
by Paul Gardiner 21 Nov '08

21 Nov '08

I've been looking to build a MythTV frontend, driving the TV's Scart input from the VGA port (there's a well known circuit for this), but this can be achieved only if the card and driver support timings with low dotclocks and interlacing via the VGA port. I have a working set up with an old Radeon 9000, but that card is unsuitable for various reasons. I want to use a F-190HD mobo with built in Xpress 1250. I thought I had it all sussed until I realised there were two different drivers: radeon and radeonhd, but now I have no real idea whether the Xpress 1250 is likely to support PAL timings, or even - if it does - whether they would be available via the radeonhd drivers. I don't want to buy the mobo just to find it useless. Anyone have any idea?

Display freeze during system load
by Nikos Chantziaras 21 Nov '08

21 Nov '08

At first I thought this is normal with all the criticism there is about the Linux kernel and its big latencies and "non-snappy" desktop experience. I'm talking about the complete display freezes I get when there's heavy load in the background (for example emerging something big in Gentoo, like OpenOffice) that last for about 5 seconds or more. When the freeze happens, nothing moves except the mouse cursor. Everything else is frozen and I have to wait. The freezes happen even if the processes that generate the load are niced to 19. CPU load is not enough; for this to happen there has to be heavy load + multitasking + heavy disk I/O. Compiling OpenOffice or Firefox for example with -j3 (parallel build). Well, I tried Catalyst 8.11 and this stopped. No display freezes during heavy multitasking load. So there's a problem with radeonhd. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help(a)opensuse.org

RE:[radeonhd] RS780 on Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H,

Hello Bubo "Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2008 19:38:30 +0000 (GMT): ...everything works under GNU/Debian lenny with gnome/sawfish on an Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H (havin' the radeon 3200 hd on board). THANX! :-). best regards bubo.ignauus" I am planning to switch to radeonhd from AMD Catalyst driver next weekend. Is 1080p HD video running with around 45% cpu ( I have a dual core BE-2350 amd at 2.1 ghz) ? Do the 3D screensavers work? What about compiz desktop effects? I have the same motherboard. Please let me know what to expect from this driver. -- Kind Regards GobbleDeGeek [Gobbledegook for IT pros!!] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help(a)opensuse.org

X1300 extremly hot
by Bernd Schubert 19 Nov '08

19 Nov '08

Hello, my X1300 runs extremly hot, I don't know how to test the exact temperature, but by simply checking the heatsink with my fingers, I guess it is above 80° or 90°C (an old rule for chemists says, if you touch it and it hurts, the temperature is above 60°C). Actually, I guess I could use it for cooking... Actually I already have a 780G based mainboard, but the board doesn't have two DVI outputs for dual display. So I thought I add a cheap r500 based card... Due to this new card, the cooling of my low noise system is not sufficient any more :( Using only the onboard card, the board temperature was at 45°C and the CPU at 33°C. Actually, I thought that even the 45°C was due to the video card. Now after adding the new X1300 video card both temperatures have increased by 10°C! And that even though the mainboard bios seems to have disabled the onboard video card, *humpf*! This is a passively cooled card, but is it supposed to run that hot? I'm now at Yang Zhao's pm-branch, but the temperature doesn't have decreased :( xrandr --prop: POWERMODE: 0 (0x00000000) range: (0,-1) (II) RADEONHD(0): Initializing power management functionalities (II) RADEONHD(0): Calling DynamicClockGating (enable) (II) RADEONHD(0): DynamicClockGating Successful (II) RADEONHD(0): Query for VoltageObjectInfo contents: not implemented (WW) RADEONHD(0): Failed to read VoltageObjectInfo (WW) RADEONHD(0): Failed to read power modes table All I need is is a 2D card with 2 DVI outputs and a very little XV scaling. Once a year I also use google-earth, but so rarely, that I also can skip that entirely. Is there really no sane video card out there, that simply puts the image on both screens without being suitable for preparing my meals? There is is modified radeon-tool which can enable powermanagement on X1900 based card. Unfortunately it crashes my X1300 based system. Is there any chance I could modify it to work for my X1300? Or is the driver still missing something? Which of the documents of http://www.x.org/docs/AMD/ is for X1300 chips?

Rotation Support pushed.
by Egbert Eich 19 Nov '08

19 Nov '08

Hi folks! I've just pushed support for screen rotation. Thus a feature that has been asked for by many users is finally available in RadeonHD. There are some limitations, most notably we don't support rotation when no acceleration is available. If there is a strong demand for it it can be implemented at least for the case where we have no acceleration at all (AccelMethod is set to NONE) but it will be terribly slow as we need to paint to local memory twice for each drawing operation. You really want to use rotation with EXA as this is able to perfrom the rotation operation in hardware. Furthermore panning is not supported on a rotated screen. Implementing this would either require some changes in the RandR code of the Xserver itself or some horrific kludges inside the driver. As always, please test and let me know if you encounter issues. Cheers, Egbert. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help(a)opensuse.org
