https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34194 --- Comment #4 from John Bridgman 2011-02-12 05:37:14 PST --- I think it's called radeon.modeset because it affects the kernel driver, where the ati/amd code is called "radeon". It doesn't know or care which user mode driver is being used. Not sure about "nomodeset" but I only saw it used in the early days of KMS so guessing it may be obsolete. ----- Original Message ----- From: xorg-team-bounces+eich=suse.de@lists.x.org To: xorg-team@lists.x.org Sent: Sat Feb 12 08:27:25 2011 Subject: [radeonhd] [Bug 34194] DRM can not be opened/used though the module is loaded https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34194 --- Comment #3 from Elmar Stellnberger 2011-02-12 05:27:25 PST --- What is the difference between nomodeset and radeon.modeset=0?

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34194 --- Comment #6 from Elmar Stellnberger 2011-02-12 09:20:24 PST --- Well; I just want to boot into X - and have some effects like transparency. Basically there are the following issues: * radeonhd does not support any 2D graphics accelaration (glx-/driinfo) at me, possibly because it does not know that my card is an ATI Mobility Radeon HD-2700 which should be accessible the same way as an ATI Mobility Radeon HD-2600 is (confirmed with nomodeset and different kernels - see for the 'unknown card' message in the attached log). * kernel modesetting does not work at me at the time: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25052 (Yes, we are already working on a bug like this.) * The radeon driver with enabled DRI is currently unusable because it overflows the event loop. P.S.: As far as I can see the given 0.0.7 kernel version behaves in some way like if kms was disabled even if you don`t state a boot parameter for it (and in some way as if it was not - because of the missing /dev/dri/card*). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. _______________________________________________ xorg-team mailing list xorg-team@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org

Well; I just want to boot into X - and have some effects like transparency. Basically there are the following issues:

* radeonhd does not support any 2D graphics accelaration (glx-/driinfo) at me,

You are talking about "3D" acceleration, not 2D acceleration. This is disabled in radeonhd on R6xx and higher - at least on openSUSE.

* kernel modesetting does not work at me at the time: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25052 (Yes, we are already working on a bug like this.)

* The radeon driver with enabled DRI is currently unusable because it overflows the event loop.

I guess you mean the one not using KMS, right?

P.S.: As far as I can see the given 0.0.7 kernel version behaves in some way like if kms was disabled even if you don`t state a boot parameter for it (and in some way as if it was not - because of the missing /dev/dri/card*).

Because it's broken as seen in the error message of Xorg.0.log? (II) Could not open DRM - module might not be loaded, KMS detection faulty.

Actually, yes (radeonhd, no kms). If radeonhd supports 2D accelaration comprehensively I would guess that there was some support for transparency.

I seriously doubt that.

How can I query for the degree of 2D-accelaration support?

I don't think you can. The best information you can currently get about radeonhd driver you can find here: http://wiki.x.org/wiki/radeonhd

Is it a problem that radeonhd does not know about my card model (Radeon Mobility HD 2700)?

According to the logfile it does. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. _______________________________________________ xorg-team mailing list xorg-team@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org

RadeonHD does support transparency via the xrender - extension: For KDE4 just select: Compositing Type: Xrender Fensterknopf liob -> Fensterverhalten festlegen -> Arbeitsflächen Effekte -> Erweitert -> Composit Typ: XRender statt OpenGL ~ Window Button -> Window Behaviour -> Desktop Effects -> Extended -> Compositing Type: Xrender instead of OpenGL: OpenGL has by default no transparency support which is the reason why you will need this option with the proprietary ATI/NVIDIA drivers as well. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. _______________________________________________ xorg-team mailing list xorg-team@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-team
