Not until Chromium comes out of beta and has a sane release model. Even
then, it will be an uphill battle, and I'll probably have to petition
FESCo for an exception. Not sure when that will be, but if I had to
guess, I'd say it is closer to the F13 timeframe.

Thank you for your command. Will RGB Gamma value be set 1.0 in the final
release? I think it needs.

And playing flashplayer in the web browser with Adobe Flash Player still has
some blocks. Maybe flash player cause that problem. I just wait.

Thank you for hard work. Crhomium browser in Fedora 12 looks perfect. Is

There is a reason for the delay:

http://spot.livejournal.com/311443.html

The good news is that there is a workaround fix now, so as soon as the
last package finishes building (I've already done smoke tests on F-11
and F-12), there will be newer chromium packages in the repo. No idea if
it fixes your problem or not, Flash is proprietary software, I can't
debug it, much less fix it.

Try running this command after resuming:

does that do the trick?

Re: Fwd: Request to update ATi OSS driver for Fedora 12

2009-10-29 Thread Liang Suilong
To Adam Williamson

I have upgraded the latest packages from Rawhide, including xorg-x11-drv-ati
and some components of X. It looks quite good. Glxgears performance grows
from about 640 fps to more than 1000 fps. Gnome-terminal is more smooth but
not perfect.

I found other problems in Fedora 12. I do not know whether they are related
to ATi KMS and opensource dirvers or not.

First Problem:

Adobe flash player seems to take up too much cpu usage. It makes machine run
slow. If I open too many web page full of flash, no matter in chromium or in
firefox, It is too slow. I almost can not do anything. Firefox looks a
little better than chormium. maybe there is a bug of chromium , or adobe
flash player or ATi's driver. I can not make sure. I test on another desktop
(NVIDIA card). It looks better. CPU usage is still very high, however, flash
player runs enough smoothly. And then, Tom 'spot' Callaway has not pushed a
new upgrade for chromium browser. But I do not want to disturbing him. I
just wait for him silently. Haha!

Second Problem:

I try to hibernate my desktop. Later I wake them up. The brightness of LCD
screen is not normal. It is too low. I nearly can not see what is it in the
screen. I switch to tty console. It is the same with GUI environment. My
screen is LG L1953T 19" inch flat screen. Is the bug related to ATi drivers?

At last, Thanks to developers again.

I'm using these packages now and it's much better (speed is much better, 
rendering is (still) not at 100 % ) :

xorg-x11-drv-ati with sources updated to radeon's git snapshot

Thanks for testing. See my reply to Michal for the next steps: I'm

Well, on my test system it runs, but doesn't really work: there's a
known bug which stops any input to gnome-shell working (so basically you
can't _do_ anything with it, trying to click on any gnome-shell element
doesn't work). As I said, this is a known bug in the Mesa stuff which
should get fixed at some point. I imagine any other problem you're
seeing with gnome-shell is similar in nature. As mentioned, this code is
known to be pretty alpha :)

This could be related to disabling KMS, I suppose, but I don't know any
more than that I'm afraid.

That's not quite the situation. The 'ati' driver is not written entirely
by ATI/AMD, it is a proper communally-developed driver to which our Red
Hat staff and others contribute significantly, based on information and
specifications provided by ATI/AMD.

'radeonhd' is essentially a competing driver. The history is that the
radeonhd driver came out before the ati/radeon driver (technically the
driver in question is called 'radeon', the "driver" called 'ati' is
really just a wrapper which loads either 'radeon', 'r128' or 'mach64'
depending on the hardware that's detected) gained any support for r500+
chips at all. (Actually, a driver called 'avivo' came before either of
those, but never mind that). After a while, the 'radeon' driver added
support for r500+ chips, so there are now two different open source
drivers, both officially part of the X.org project, which support r500+
devices. 'radeonhd' is supported by Novell and gets contributions from
Novell's paid developers, 'radeon' is more supported by Red Hat.

Obviously this isn't sustainable and eventually the two will merge
somehow, but for now there's two drivers, and Fedora supports 'radeon'.
'radeonhd' is really only available from the Fedora repositories for
research purposes.

The fact that there are two open source drivers is not the fault of
ATI/AMD in any way, they shouldn't take any blame for it. They have in
fact been moving in a very good direction lately, and their relationship
with the X development community is pretty much as good as Intel's now.
Neither 'radeon' nor 'radeonhd' would have developed to the point they
have without the help and support of ATI/AMD.

cairo-perf-trace is, afaik, the best we have:
http://cworth.org/intel/performance_measurement/

I'm not sure if bug reports on this are useful. To some extent, slow
performance with KMS on some chips is a known issue. Jerome, do you want
bug reports from people who have this problem, or would more reports not
provide any new information?

> btw, mesa-dri-drivers-experimental does not work at all for me (glx apps

Your card's r700, not r600, so that's kind of expected; the current code
isn't expected to work well on r700 (possibly not at all, I'm not 100%
clear). r700 and r800 support should follow r600 relatively quickly,
though.

I noticed that performance with KMS is more affected than non-KMS by the 
debugging options which are enabled in Rawhide kernel. The final release 
will have most of them disabled, so there's a chance the performance 
with KMS will improve.

You could try rebuilding the kernel without debugging to confirm it.

To Michal Hlavinka,
Hi, in Fedora 12, KMS for R600/R700 is an experimental features. The next
mainline kernel, 2.6.32 will official support KMS of R600/R700.

Xorg still does not release opensource drivers for R600/R700 to run 3D
program. Mesa-dri-drivers-experimental is just a testing package. It can run
compiz. But compiz is easy to crash with this dri-drivers. Believe that,
Fedora developers still work hard for opensource ati driver. Please wait a
moment. 3D acceleration is coming soon.

To Adam Williamson

I try to add kernel parameter nomodeset to turn off KMS. After logging in
Gnome and run gnome-terminal, I can scroll up and down my mouse so smoothly.
I do not feel scrolling in the terminal is slow.

Before doing that, I installed Fedora 12 Beta and upgrade to the latest
packages in VirtualBox 3.0.8. The situation is the same with the host which
is turned off KMS.

We can sure that KMS for R600 cause the problem. But KMS in the mainline
kernel is experimental. I believe that the bug will be fixed. Thanks to
Fedora developers, I can enjoy compiz with  opensource drivers.

Another things, xorg-x11-drv-ati with mesa-dri-drivers-experimental seems
not to ru gnome-shell. Does it mean that ATi opensource need more OpenGL
extensions to stand for gnome-shell?

Plymouth is so beautiful and smooth when I start up my Fedora 12,
nevertheless, it does not work when I shutdown or reboot my box. I just can
see a black screen or console status. How can I make plymouth run again?

ATi should learn Intel how to develop opensource drivers for their graphic
card. The relationship between ati and radeonhd should be cooperation not
competition. This is just my opinon.

radeonhd is not part of ati, they are effectively in competition.
They're two different drivers for the same hardware. ati is the one that

Fedora doesn't really care about the radeonhd driver. We may well even
remove it at some point soon. The ati driver is the one you should use
on Fedora, that's why it's the default.

You do not get 3D acceleration out of the box on that card, r600 3D
acceleration is too early to be enabled by default. If you want to try
it out, install the mesa-dri-drivers-experimental package.

For the slow 2D performance - _how_ slow is it, really? gnome-terminal
has never been much of a speed demon. Does it get any faster if you boot
with 'nomodeset' as a kernel parameter?

  From F12 beta announcment:

* Graphics support improvements - Fedora 12 introduces experimental 3D  
   
support for AMD Radeon HD 2400 and later graphics cards. To try it out, 
   
install the mesa-dri-drivers-experimental package.

Fwd: Request to update ATi OSS driver for Fedora 12

2009-10-21 Thread Liang Suilong
Today I upgrade my Fedora to Fedora 12 Beta, It looks very well. But I found
ATi display driver does not run well.
My display card is Sapphire HD3650 with 256MB GDDR3 VRAM (RV635). I choose
OSS driver for my card. Glxgears runs so smoothly with xorg-x11-drv-ati
because of KMS by default, nevertheless, rolling up and down in the
gnome-terminal is quite slow. The performance of glxgears is about 210 frams
per second. In addition, Switching to another window in Fedora 12 Beta is
not as fast in Fedora 11. Later, I install xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd and set it
by default in the system-config-display. Then I restart the X. I can not log
into gnome. The screen turns white. I found xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd is too
old, The version is 1.2.5 in the rawhide and the latest version 1.3.0 has
been released for a long time. Now I turn back to xorg-x11-drv-ati. At last,
I do not know which packages causes the  problem, maybe xorg-x11-drv-ati,
maybe xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd, maybe Mesa. So I suggest that packager updates
some packge related to ATi R600/R700 display card.

My Fedora 12 box is Athlon X2 4200+ and 2GB RAM, a 250GB HDD only for
Fedora, a mainborad with MCP55SLI and a Sapphire HD3650.

Another question, Will Fedora 12 provide Opensource 3D acceleration driver
for R600/R700?
