[radeonsi] radeonhd "southern islands" 3d hardware acceleration

[Chris Gagnon]

Description:
radeon hd7850 has no 3d acceleration

steps:
1. install phoronix-test-suite
    sudo apt-get install phoronix-test-suite
2. install openarena
    phoronix-test-suite install openarena
3. run openarena
    phoronix-text-suite run openarena

expected results:
3d acceleration is used

Actual results:
no 3d acceleration

additional info:
<RAOF> robotfuel: Ah, yes. The 7850 is a southern islands card which requires glamor to do 2D acceleration and requires 2D acceleration to do 3D accel, and we don't currently build glamor.

Added mesa since it would need to build radeonsi module (and it needs to build-depend on llvm 3.3 for that)

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/client-s-xorg-general

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Current mesa radeonsi works fine for me with glamor.

[Daniel Letzeisen (dtl131)]

@cybjit, I guess mesa is building radeonsi

[Jussi Pakkanen (jpakkane)]

3D acceleration is not working for me using a Radeon HD 7750 on an up to date saucy.

[Duncan Rumbold (djrumbold)]

I have a Radeon HD 7750 and am also 'stuck' on "Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe". I figured this would be the case until Mesa 9.2 is released because it looks like that's where all the exciting radeonsi development is happening. The recently released Fedora 19 has an early build of Mesa 9.2 and glxinfo on there gives me "Gallium 0.4 on AMD CAPE VERDE" and a noticeably smoother experience. Would the kernel version make any difference as well? (There seems to be a lot work gone on for Radeon SI owners in 3.10 and soon-to-be 3.11).

[Cybjit (cybjit)]

@djrumbold, the issue is not too old kernel/mesa/llvm, those are new enough since raring. What is missing is packaging and enablement of glamor (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Glamor/), since radeonsi does not support EXA.
(Of course newer kernel/mesa/llvm would certainly be good, for example s3tc will be supported)

I have had a ppa for glamor going for a few months, and have used radeonsi 3D acceleration in raring/saucy.
Glamor however seems a bit immature: occasional xorg crashes, occasional glyph corruption in firefox, flash content bleeding over other elements. And the 2D performance is not particularly good either. This is not something unique for glamor/radeonsi, I have seen the same result with glamor/intel.

[Daniel Letzeisen (dtl131)]

Yes, mesa is up to 9.2 (and radeonsi module is enabled) and the ddx driver is now 7.2.0, so glamor is what's missing. You can try it in PPA form: https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/graphics-drivers

[Daniel Letzeisen (dtl131)]

Actually, the PPA in my last comment is for raring, so disregard.

[Nazar Mokrynskyi (nazar-pc)]

Glamor just occured in Saucy repository!
Not tested yet.

[Letheed (letheed)]

On an up-to-date saucy I was using fglrx up until now. I just did:

# apt-get install xserver-xorg-glamoregl
# mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.removed
# apt-get remove --purge fglrx*

and rebooted but it's now using "Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe". I am being stupid and doing something wrong or this is supposed to work and it doesn't yet ?

[Daniel Letzeisen (dtl131)]

Letheme, please attach the /var/log/Xorg.0.log

[Letheed (letheed)]

Here it is. Seems that glamoregl module doesn't exist.
I have an HD7950 and an Ivy Bridge HD4000.

[Letheed (letheed)]

xserver-xorg-glamoregl just got updated. Here is a new Xorg log after reboot.
glamoregl module seems to load now, but I still get "OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.3, 256 bits)" in glxinfo.

[Chris Gagnon (chris.gagnon)]

xserver-xorg-glamoregl is not in main, so xserver-xorg-video-radeon is not being built with glamor support in the ubuntu archive.

if you apt-get install xserver-xorg-glamoregl, apt-get source xserver-xorg-video-radeon, then build and install the deb locally, there will be 3d support. When xserver-xorg-glamoregl moves from universe to main the xserver-xorg-video-radeon package will include glamor

tested this on a radeon hd7850

[Maarten Lankhorst (mlankhorst)]

Blocked on bug #1227919 currently, glamor needs to be moved to main first.

[Cybjit (cybjit)]

I get 3D acceleration with my 7750 on the saucy daily live iso, so this seems fixed.
