Summary: x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati: No DRI and wrong colors for
OpenGL (Pegasos II + Radeon 9000)
Product: DRI
Version: XOrg 6.7.0
Platform: PowerPC
OS/Version: Linux (All)
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: high
Component: libdrm
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Since the upgrade from xorg-server 1.3 to 1.5 (Gentoo distribution) the
hardware acceleration for a Radeon 9000 graphics card is not working. It seems
the PCI Id is wrong. It should be "pci:0001:01:08.0" but X11 tries to use
"pci:0000:01:08.0".
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start X11, eg. startx
2. Start glxgears (wrong colors and bad performance)
Actual Results:
The Performance of the Gfx card is very bad and all colors are wrong if you use
OpenGL (Mesa). Eg. glxgears, blender.
Expected Results:
Performance of Gfx card as good as in xorg-sever 1.3 and correct colors.
I'm using Gentoo Linux (CPU: PowerPC G4) and updated my xorg-server to
the version 1.5.3-r6 and now my X11 performance for OpenGL
(Mesa 7.3-r1) is bad and has wrong colors (eg. glxgears).
I did a little investigation of this problem and saw this:
xorg-server-1.5.3-r6 has a library called libglx.so. This library uses
drmOpenOnce(NULL, "pci:0001:01:08.0", ...)
to get the graphics card.
lspci reports
0001:01:08.0 VGA compatible controller:
ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 If [Radeon 9000] (rev 01)
So the PCI Bus ID seems to be correct.
libdrm-2.4.5 has the function drmOpenOnce(). This function goes down to
drmOpen(NULL, "pci:0001:01:08.0") and
drmOpenByBusid("pci:0001:01:08.0").
Now drmGetBusid(fd) is called and returns "pci:0000:01:08.0". Which is
wrong, because it differs from the original PCI Bus ID. So my graphics
card will not be used with hardware accelerated OpenGL.
drmGetBusid() calls the kernel module drm via IOCTL
DRM_IOCTL_GET_UNIQUE. (see file drm_ioc32.c). So is it a bug in the
kernel or libdrm?
PS: Since I have only the version numbers from the Gentoo distribution I do not
know the actual XOrg version. I guess it's 6.7.0 but this could be wrong.
