On the web page it says that 3D acceleration is only implemented on R5xx and RS6xx upto now. Does that include a Radeon Mobility X1400?

Yep.

...

If yes, what do I need (Which Kernel(-config), X.Org-Version, ...) in order to get 3D-acceleration?

Recent Mesa, kernel, X.org, radeon or radeonhd driver. Released stuff, nothing special. And there is no hard line (therefore I won't give you version numbers), 3D is supported for quite a while, but support is getting better all the time, and there are still quite some bugs to be fixed.

Matthias, what about old bug about "lost of sync" effect on notebook panel ? It still happens time-to-time for my X1400 with xf86-video-radeonhd-1.2.4_1. As well as strange effect with mouse cursor - sometimes mouse cursor starts to shake or blink on some areas of screen, then it passes. And last question: why output naming is different between radeon and radeonhd drivers ? It is a bit hard to use one Xorg configuration (dual-head setup) and switch drivers. As for 3D, it works for me good enough, but I have no GL-games, just applications like google picasa and stellarium. Bug google-earth - still does not work (I have FreeBSD, so it tries to run under Linux emulation).

Gimme a hint. Do you have a bug number?

...

Yes, we still don't have a freaking clue why and when this happens.

...

Long story short: You can use analog and digital bits of DVI outputs at the same time only with this naming scheme.

Yeah, I know. We had a lengthy discussion on this mailing list about whether or not to change, and the result was pretty much 1:1.

Try the following in your .drirc (Create it if you don't have one): see Attachment

That did it for me. The important line is the vblank line. But I don't know whether that fixes it for you (never used any BSD variant myself).

No bug, as far as I remember it was talk on irc or in mail. Problem - on X start or console switch either to X screen or back to text console screen looks exactly as CRT monitor which is out of sync (picture jumping and has no fixed vertical edges). Switching X-text-X, probably several times, fixes problem.

Sounds like a race.

I can file a bug, but can't provide much details to it, probably short avi clip ?

Yes, if that's not too much work. xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log are more important. Don't expect too much work on bugs, but it's at least documented that way.

Yesterday it crashes system. First mouse cursor grow about 5 times of normal size and looks as vertically duplicated copy of part of arrow, then there was hard freeze.

O-key. Then you have a completely different issue. You can use Option "SWcursor" to use a software cursor that doesn't exhibit this issues. However, you will notice artifacts with DRI that way.

Ehh - does not help, actually , after recent Xorg upgrade it just crashes on start (before it work in non-GL mode)

Sorry, I'm lost in this case. As I said, I've never run any BSD. :-( Matthias -- Matthias Hopf __ __ __ Maxfeldstr. 5 / 90409 Nuernberg (_ | | (_ |__ mat@mshopf.de Phone +49-911-74053-715 __) |_| __) |__ R & D www.mshopf.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
