[opensuse] ATI Radeon (radeonhd) oddness
(I realize that I am posting lots of X stuff this week. All I can say is that an update a week ago caused numerous problems. On numerous system. For numerous card types... I am working through these issues. Most solutions seem to be finding the specific thing that was updated and reverting or selecting an alternative implementation. Sorry for all the traffic.) I have an openSUSE 11.2 system with a ATI Radeon FireGL V3300. After an update a week or so ago, X has become very very sluggish - to the point of almost not being usable. All desktop effects are off. The driver is loaded as: [ 16.599] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/radeonhd_drv.so [ 16.626] (II) Module radeonhd: vendor="AMD GPG" [ 16.626] compiled for 1.9.3, module version = 1.3.0 [ 16.626] Module class: X.Org Video Driver [ 16.626] ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 8.0 I see in the X log the following statements: [ 16.753] (II) [DRM] Kernel mode setting disabled [ 16.753] (EE) KMS is disabled. This is good for us, because RADEONHD conflicts with KMS. [ 16.754] (EE) RADEONHD(0): RHDDRIVersionCheck: symbol GlxSetVisualConfigs not available. [ 16.754] (WW) RADEONHD(0): RHDDRIPreInit: Version check failed. Disabling DRI. [ 16.965] (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) This is odd. I see in my xorg.conf file the following: Section "Module" Load "dri" Load "dbe" Load "extmod" Load "glx" EndSection Are these appropriate for the ATI driver? The file was created with sax. The X driver is: xorg-x11-driver-video-radeonhd-1.3.0_20100512_80ba041-34.19.i586 Yours sincerely, Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Office: Int +46 10-615 60 20 Mobile: Int +46 70-815 1696 roger.oberholtzer@ramboll.se ________________________________________ Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

After all the problems introduced by the latest release of X on openSUSE 11.2, and associated drivers (end of Feb some time), I can only say that both the Nvidia and ATI proprietary drivers, as well as the nouveau driver, are simply non-functional on my hardware. Previous to this update, they worked.

Please ensure to test this with openSUSE 11.4 and Factory as well. I expect there you might get more attention of the x.org developers. And if the issue is visible there too please file a bug report. The openSUSE build service command-line tool (osc) is able to display the fitting bugzilla user to assign the bug to the responsible person.
