I'm pretty sure the problems with the M6 chip aren't the fault of the 
bsd-3-0-0-branch changes, but rather with the 2d & 3d drivers themselves.

Are there any other reasons why the bsd-3-0-0 branch shouldn't merge to the trunk?

This (perhaps), and the mechanism for catching tcl state before it gets to the 
card isn't strong enough.

Around line 77 in radeon_ioctl.c we need a check for
  !((rmesa->TclFallback & RADEON_TCL_FALLBACK_TCL_DISABLE) && state->is_tcl)

Re: [Dri-devel] OS Independent Templates

2002-07-02 Thread Adam K Kirchhoff


So I did some quick testing on the Radeon 7500...  I won't be able to do
any thorough testing till tomorrow, probably, but this is what I've found
so far...

For the most part, everything seems to run smoothly.  I ran a number of gl
apps without any issues.  I was unable to replicate the lockup from
dragging one glxgears window around on top of another, though I did this
for at least a minute.

I was able to replicate the same problem I had with the 7200: starting up
circuit and engine caused the X server to lockup.  With the 7200 it
happened immediately, but with the 7500 it didn't happen till I clicked on
the frame of one of the windows, thinking I'd drag it around.

I'll try to do some more robust testing with that card tonight or
tomorrow.

Could the problem simply be that the 3D driver unconditionally omits
RADEON_TCL_BYPASS for SET_SE_CNTL_STATUS in radeon_state_init.c?

BTW you keep talking of the 'Mobility chips', but only the M6 is
problematic, the M7 has a TCL unit and works great. :)

It's possible that the trunk is doing the same thing now.  I didn't know we

Well, I've got good news and bad news.  The good news is that the bsd
branch performs the same on my Mobility M6 as the DRI trunk does.  The bad
news is that the DRI trunk has the same lock-up problem as the bsd branch.

Re: [Dri-devel] OS Independent Templates

2002-07-02 Thread Adam K Kirchhoff


Alright...  Here's the first results :-)

With a Radeon Mobility M6 and the bsd-3-0-0 branch, I get X locking up
when I run any GL application.  If I launch glxgears (or any other gl app
that I've tried so far) from an xterm, I get:

disabling TCL support
radeonUpdatePageFlipping allow 0 current 0

I get the outline of the window for the application, but that's it.
Everything window below the application is still visible.

I can sitll move my mouse around, but the keyboard won't respond, and I
can't kill the GL app or the X server.  I have to ssh in to the machine
and reboot.

If I set LIBGL_DEBUB to verbose, I get some extra info, but nothing
unusual or particularly telling.

Unfortunately, I haven't actually updated the main branch of the DRI on
this machine in at least a couple of weeks, so I'm not positive if this
problem is specific to the bsd branch.  I'll pull the main branch in a
little bit and give it a whirl.

On to the 7200...

Everything seemed to work fine when I first started...  glxgears gave
comparable speeds to the main branch.  A variety of the GL xscreensaver
apps ran smoothly.  gltron ran fine, as did tuxkart.  I don't have any
really big GL games (ie. games from Loki) on this machine to test with.

I did manage to get a lockup (similar to the one I mentioned above) when I
started engine (xscreensaver app) and then started circuit (xscreensaver
app, too) at the same time.  However, I didn't have that same problem when
I started up glxgears twice.

Anyway, this particular machine is my machine at work, so I'll have to
stop testing for the time being.

I'll try to get to the 7500 tonight.

I have three machines that I can test this on, one with a 7500, one with a
7200, and one with a Radeon Mobility M6.

It'll take me a day or two to effectively test on all of these machines.

Eric, can you give me a quick status of the DRI on NetBSD and OpenBSD?

It has for us, at least. It pointed out the deficiency that led to the
addition of mtrr in bsd, for example.  If there was any other tool that
all the users of XFree86 had, we would gladly use that instead, but as
it is it's a quick measure that can show differences between people's
dri status.  I understand worrying abotu glxgears can be bad, but if
other users are seeing drops in rate and I (with almost exactly the same
hardware) am seeing increases, that's significant to me.

Okay, I started trying that even before your mail came.  Basically I
have a clean copy of bsd-3-0-0-branch, and I did a cvs update -d -j HEAD
in it (I wasn't planning on committing, just finding what crashes had
been fixed).  It merged a bunch of stuff, but also created conflicts in
many files that had no bsd-3-0-0-branch specific changes to them.   Is
there a better way to go about this?

Is there any way to diff to HEAD easily?  When I do, for example,
cvs diff -u -rHEAD lib/GL/mesa/src/drv/radeon/radeon_maos_verts.c
in bsd-3-0-0-branch it returns nothing, though there is a diff to HEAD
there (when looking at cvs log and then supplying -r1.4).  Same thing
happens if I add a -rbsd-3-0-0branch before the other -r arg.  I would
like to be able to easily cvs diff directories between branches.  I
thought from reading the manpage I could do this, but it's not working.

I wouldn't necessarily blame bsd-3-0-0 for that -- there have been major 
changes to the radeon driver since 4.2 -- if he could retest against the trunk 
that would be more interesting.

In any case I'm not too concerned about gears performance, it rarely reflects 
anything interesting.

It isn't too hard -- the CVS policies document on dri.sf.net gives a very good 
step-by-step guide to this.  Just test where it says to test...  Read it & see 
if you're still unsure.

Consider this a call for Testers!  I think our community testers would 
rather try this out on the bsd-3-0-0 branch than after it hits the 
stable trunk.

> concern about making this merge relatively soon.

I also missed the meeting, was working outside.

I feel ready, because I'm pretty confident that it has far surpassed
FreeBSD's DRM in capabilities (pcigart, tcl), stability/correctness
(eliminated some long-standing crashes), and speed (mtrr code sped up
several cards significantly), and as far as I've been able to tell had
no effect on Linux.  Granted, my testing of Linux has been limited to
glxgears so far, but I'm not expecting surprises.  It will also open up
the branch for more NetBSD work to happen (I've resisted some of reide's
diffs because I wanted to focus on getting this merged).

Concerns at this point:
- I'm still noticing some problems with my Radeon 7500 with DRI (the
last lockup was dragging a glxgears around on top of another one). 
There has been talk of 7500 issues, though.
- clipping issues on r128.  r128 I know has problems on linux anyway.
- one user I was talking with said he had glxgears above 2000fps (was it
2600?) on a 1700xp and radeon 7500 with 4.2.0/drm-kmod and it dropped to
1900 with bsd-3-0-0-branch.

I'm mostly concerned with that last point, but I still don't think it
should stop a merge.  As a side note, I would prefer to see someone else
commit the actual merge if possible, because I don't feel proficient
enough with CVS yet.

[Dri-devel] OS Independent Templates

2002-07-01 Thread Jens Owen

Hi Eric,

How is the OS indepedence project coming?  I wanted to make the IRC mtg 
today and get some consensus for merging your stuff in, but I had a 
schedule conflict.

What do you think still needs to be done before merging your work onto 
the DRI trunk?

I definitely think your work is absolutely what the DRI needs for good 
cross-OS support.  I'd like to hear from other developers if there is a 
concern about making this merge relatively soon.

Regards,
Jens
