--- Comment #85 from Kai kai@dev.carbon-project.org --- I think I can answer your questions, since I got acceleration working up to the point where it crashed (see comment #82).
(In reply to comment #84)
I did as instructed, but couldn't yet get accel to work (llvmpipe is used). A few questions:
- Do I need to rename the firmware files to uppercase ? (HAWAII_ce.bin
instead of hawaii_ce.bin) ?
No. I didn't rename the files and they were correctly loaded.
- Does the current radeon stuff already work with the glamor that got
merged into xorg-server 1.16 or do I need the external glamor ? (does that work with 1.16 ?)
Yes. My 7.4.0 came up with the integrated GLAMOR. And just yesterday I helped a friend with an OLAND to get it set up with the free drivers. His setup uses also a 1.16.0 server and the DDX uses the integrated GLAMOR.
- As far as I know, the "NoAccel" xorg.conf option was renamed to "Accel".
Is that still necessary with your xf86-video-ati patch ?
My xorg.conf had only a 'Driver "radeon"' line (since I don't have the -ati loader shim around). No "Accel" or other option was set (and yes, it's Accel with 7.4.0).
