Priority: medium Bug ID: 78453 Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Summary: [HAWAII] Get acceleration working Severity: normal Classification: Unclassified OS: All Reporter: luziphermcleod@yahoo.ie Hardware: Other Status: NEW Version: XOrg CVS Component: DRM/Radeon Product: DRI
Hawaii acceleration is currently disabled by default, as it doesn't really work (causes GPU crashes). This bug intends to collect data that hopefully helps to resolve the issues.
agd5f suggested on irc that, when hawaii support was first commited, it worked better than now. Back then, glxgears worked according to his words. He also said it'd help to know which component caused the regression for glxgears. I tried to get glxgears working with software versions from back then, but I wasn't succesful.
The information I collected so far is:
#### A: OLD (mostly from the time when hawaii support was commited first) #### xf86-video-ati: d571d6af70ef27efd1ed6420eb892bdde963ed7a glamor: 0.5.1-r1 xorg-server: 1.14.6 mesa: 469b42ee21d6bc530200c76cb0e73b0b461ab6e8 kernel: ?? libdrm: ?? (git, from 2.4.53 series) ----> Result when statring Xorg: - screen goes black (~ 1sec) - text-mode cursor appears in upper left corner (non blinking) - keyboard doesn't respond (caps-lock doesn't change led, ctrl-alt-F# doesn't change to console) - short press on power button on computer works (screen stays frozen, but system shuts down after a few seconds)

#### E: Updated glamor, xf86-video-ati, xorg-server, libdrm, mesa #### xf86-video-ati: 0333f5bda27dc0ec2edc180c7a4dc9a432f13f97 glamor: 0.6.0-r1 xorg-server: 1.15.1 mesa: git (2014-05-07) kernel: 3.15.0-rc3-41840-g2a1235e-dirty (airlied drm-fixes git) libdrm: git (2014-05-07), 2.4.54 series ----> Result when statring "Xorg -retro": - X starts as expected (low resolution, pattern an mouse visible) - remotely running glxinfo gives output (radeon driver) but crashes X - glxgears shows a correctly rendered frame, stalls, gpu crash shortly afterward (black screen). See attached video for details - the gpu crashes continue, the screen get's more and more corrupted - when killing glxgears (from remote), the computer crashes completely - also see attached logs
