Help with ati open-source driver :what problems with my xorg.conf?

I removed vesa driver and then :
sudo pacman -S xf86-video-ati libgl
I have browser http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI
I add me to the group video,add radeon to my rc.conf.
and changed my xorg.conf like that.and then I type "startx",It did work,but the resolution is not right (it should be 1027x768 but I got a resolution 640x480),and I run glxinfo it said :"unable to open display"
I'm sure the HorizSync VertRefresh is right besause when I try catalyst it works well :<
my card is ati X550
Here's my config:(can anyone who's ati card work with open-source driver works well give me your xorg.conf ?THX!)

Ok, seems like you don't use [testing] because in this case x wouldn't even start, because RgbPath in the Section "Files" doesn't exist anymore and has to be removed.
I do always recommend people to disable any kind of options in the Section "Device", if there are problems with the video card. You usually do not have to put radeon neigher into the Section "Module", nor into rc.conf! So remove them, radeon should be loaded because it's set as Driver in the Section "Device"
Your problem with wrong resolution ... I'm not an expert in this, didn't ever have such a problem, but are you sure, that your HorizSync and VertRefresh values are right?

[ATI open source driver, laptop] Screen not refreshing properly.

Hi guys, I've been using ATI Catalyst driver and everything was working well until I decided to switch to open source driver.
Now I have strange problem. My screen is not refreshing properly, I mean, for example I use Facebook and I decide to read something in other card in browser and after I switch cards I can still see some of the facebook page elements, window title does not change. After I move cursor over page elements are refreshing. When I scroll page, even a little bit, it refreshes as well. Or I use terminal, I type some command, press enter and sometimes screen doesn't refresh and I can't see output until I try to resize window or select text (which I can't see...).
Sorry for not the best description, I will give you screens tomorrow because today I can't.
My graphics card is Radeon HD 5400 Series and I use ASUS X52J laptop.

The radeonhd works. It's the radeon driver that doesn't work, I tried no xorg.conf and it still used the vesa driver.

ATI open-source driver and modelines

Since the 8.3x versions of fglrx do not work with custom modelines, I have tried to switch to the open-source driver. However, I still seem to have a problem with modelines. Here is the relevant section in my xorg.conf file:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "LCD Panel 1280x768"
HorizSync 30-82
VertRefresh 40-70
Option "dpms"
# 1280x768 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 47.70 kHz; pclk: 80.14 MHz
Modeline "1280x768_60" 80.14 1280 1344 1480 1680 768 769 772 795 -HSync +Vsync
EndSection
Here is what I get when I start X (excerpt from Xorg.0.log):
(--) RADEON(0): Virtual size is 1280x768 (pitch 1280)
(**) RADEON(0): *Mode "1280x768_60": 68.9 MHz (scaled from 0.0 MHz), 49.0 kHz, 6
0.0 Hz
(II) RADEON(0): Modeline "1280x768_60" 68.93 1280 1296 1320 1408 768 771 777
816
I don't understand why the driver changes the modeline parameters. Any ideas?
On a related issue - anyone got the 8.2x fglrx drivers working with the latest kernel and X? Everything was fine with my setup before I upgraded to 2.6.20 and 7.2.0.

What's changed? If the monitor works fine (without bad resolution or the streaks characteristic of ugly refresh rates), I'd leave it alone. The driver probably has its own ideas about modes. Of course, that's just me.
This stuff might concern you, from the radeon man page.
Option "DDCMode" "boolean"
Force to use the modes queried from the connected monitor.
The default is off.
Option "MonitorLayout" "string"
This option is used to overwrite the detected monitor types. This is only required when driver makes a false detection. The possible monitor types are:
NONE -- Not connected
CRT -- Analog CRT monitor
TMDS -- Desktop flat panel
LVDS -- Lapto flat panel
This option can be used in following format:
Option "MonitorLayout" "[type on primary], [type on secondary]"
For example, Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT, TMDS"
Primary/Secondary head for dual-head cards:
(when only one port is used, it will be treated as the primary regardless)
Primary head:
DVI port on DVI+VGA cards
LCD output on laptops
Internal TMDS prot on DVI+DVI cards
Secondary head:
VGA port on DVI+VGA cards
VGA port on laptops
External TMDS port on DVI+DVI cards
The default value is undefined.

Ati open source driver not working.

I have an ATI 4650 mobility radeon, and the open radeonhd driver and the catalyst driver work. However, I would like to use the open radeon driver instead, yet when I install the driver and use Xorg -configure it just uses the vesa driver. I tried configuring xorg.conf and it errors our with "No screens found." I've been told by a few people that my card is supported by the open radeon driver, so I am at a loss as to why it doesn't work, unless it isn't really supported.

Ati open source driver dual head problem

I have an AMD FirePro M5950 video card in my laptop. Using the open source ATI driver I can't seem to get my dual monitor setup working and GDM won't even start. However KDM is working.
Still, the problem I am having with KDM can be viewed in the following image.
The display somehow starts a little left from the middle of the screen. When I continue moving the mouse to the right the mouse appears on the left part of the screen.
How can this weird offset be fixed? Do some log files help, which one?

append "nomodeset" in the bootloader, before booting, maybe that will fix the issue.

Need some help with my xorg.conf My screen "flickers".

Hello. I have a problem with the refresh rate on my screen. I don't know what values to use in my xorg.conf.
It's a lenovo thinkpad x61 (not tablet).
The problem is that when something is moving on the screen, the image flickers and I get some lines across the screen (horizontal only). Like 1part of the screen doesn't follow the other part of the screen.

I've tried that xorg in both kubuntu&Arch.
It worked in kubuntu but not in Arch.
I've tried alot of media players and both intel&vesa drivers.
Tried Xgl (don't know if it's working) but there is no change.
Maybe if the codecs are bad of the way the media players handles the files.
I need help with this. Or else I can't live with arch.
This is my xorg.conf atm:
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

[SOLVED] Compiz, ATI 4850, open source driver: fail?

Hi!
I'm trying to use compiz with my ATI 4850 and open source driver, but it doesn't work.
Actually I'm under GNOME.
I used KDE and Kwin compositing using OpenGL works flawlessy. Where is the problem?
When I launch compiz I get:
IRQ's not enabled, falling back to busy waits: 2 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0
but...
$ glxinfo | grep GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap
GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap,
GLX_SGIX_visual_select_group, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap
Here's the complete glxinfo output:

how are you launching compiz? try it through fusion-icon, it makes it much more easier. Try it under xfce/openbox whatever else you have, a month ago I couldn't start fusion under gnome, but with another card.
I suppose you aren't using kms.
I have those packages, and compiz is running fine with my hd 4850, but I'm using it as a standalone window manager. I tried it with xfce too, and it was fine.

[SOLVED] Radeon HD 3850 / Radeon open source driver

Hello,
My laptop broke and for some time now I am using my old desktop pc (2008), on which I have arch linux and manjaro, dual booted.
My problem is that if I want a long video (over 20 minutes my whole pc is becoming slow and the screen becomes sluggish, mouse too. At first I thought that the ram is not clearing but I 'sudo rm -rf /tmp/' and check htop and ram is not full. CPU is normal so I believe it has something to do with the graphics card.
Please help me track the source of the problem!
If you need any more info please let me know!

Edit: Everything is working again. So the solution was to install vdpau. Thank you Lone_Wolf!

[Solvedish] Can color depth be changed in X with no xorg.conf file?

I have a laptop that's working perfectly with no xorg.conf file except for the color depth is at 16 and I want it at 24. Can color depth be changed in X with no xorg.conf file? (I already tried the amazing three line xorg.conf file to no avail.)
Last edited by skottish (2008-03-09 03:15:11)

Won't work on a running X session, and has the same effect as the aforementioned xorg.conf file if run before starting X.
I may just have to make a new xorg.conf file. The last one decided it hated some upgrade I made and started wreaking havoc all over my system. Crashes and lockups and flickers galore!
--EDIT--
It turns out that the xf86-video-intel driver was my problem all along. I reverted to the i810 driver and my xorg file works again (it has more than three lines).

[Solved] Artifacts with ATI Radeon HD 6670 and open source driver

Hey folks,
I use the xf86-video-ati driver and have a lot of artifacts on my screen.
Here my Xorg and dmesg log:
Dmesg: http://pastebin.com/AF8AmJfP
Xorg: http://pastebin.com/8rnQS0sa
My kernel version: 3.8.8-2-ARCH
My /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Radeon"
Driver "radeon"
Option "EXAPixmaps" "off"
Option "AccelDFS" "off"
EndSection
I tried to use the linux-lts kernel and the mesa-git repository but nothing happend...
KMS is enabled, if I disable it Xorg only works with vesa but very slow and with a bad resolution.
All other framebuffers devices are disabled.
I hope someone can help me...

Yes I have...no changes...
I could use the ati catalyst driver to solve this problem but I hate this slow driver.
EDIT:
I also have artifacts on my virtual console...

Graphic Corruption with ATI Radeon Open Source Driver

Hello!
Using the latest "radeon" driver from the Arch repo I get weird blue stripes moving diagonally all across the screen as soon as the driver is loaded. KMS is on, without KMS I get no graphical issues.
I'm a former Catalyst user, fglrx is disabled and xorg.conf is deleted.
GPU: ATI Radeon HD4570
Any ideas?

I seem to have no problems at all with kernel versions <= 2.6.37-5. Seems to be a problem with the newer kernels?

[SOLVED]X11 video output only with ati open source drivers

Hi everyone,
my nvidia graphics card died recently and I replaced it with an ATI Radeon HD 4870, which in hindsight might have been a mistake.
I installed the catalyst driver at first, ran into some problems, finally decided to switch to the open source xf86-video-ati driver. Followed the ati wiki, but ended up with X11 video output only. Can't watch anything full screen, general performance is sluggish. The output of xvinfo is:
screen #0
no adaptors present

Dual screens with x1600 mobility & open source driver

Hi, I've been trying to get a dual screen setup with two truly independent screens (not the one giant screen that xrandr gives you), but I've been having some issues. The hardware I'm attempting this on is my macbook pro 2.1 with a 1440x900 internal display and ati x1600 mobility, and a 1680x1050 apple cinema display connected with DVI. Here is the xorg.conf that I've come up with after a bit of tinkering.

Sorry the tabs are a little screwed up, but I think it's still easy enough to read. When I start the xserver using this file the external monitor appears to be functioning properly, but the internal display is black. Moving the mouse off to the right of the external display causes the cursor to appear on the internal display using the default X cursor theme. The mouse then remains trapped on the internal monitor. Other than displaying the cursor, the internal display seems to be non-functional.
If I comment out the Screen...1 line in the ServerLayout section I can get both monitors working with xrandr, but this causes other issues and is not what I want. Does anybody know how I could get two real screen going?
Thanks!

[SOLVED] ATI (open source) Graphics Issue due to Upgrade

Shadowrun Returns finally loaded (after ages) but performance was abysmal whereas I was playing it with the same settings flawlessly yesterday. L4D2 was "laggy" while clicking in the interface and on the opening video, and then I got sound with a black screen and had to kill the process.
I believe it is related to a recent update in one of the following packages (at least I did not have this problem yesterday, and I updated first thing this morning):

There doesn't seem to be much useful output when starting Steam from the command line here's the beginning output:

My card shouldn't be using the r600 driver (mine is a Radeon HD 5770) and it's quite possible those errors have always been there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have similar problem. I have removed steam-runtime libstdc++ libraries (I could not start game with them), but performance is very low. I use open source ati drivers (lib32-ati-dri also installed) and have Radeon 7770. Some time ago I could play Super Meat Boy with good performance, but now even intro is like 5 FPS which is obviously now what I expected. I am rather casual player so I can't say when (after which update as I presume) performance were redused. System is up-to-date.
I noticed that if I use AccelMethod "EXA" hardware acceleration do not work, with "GLAMOR" I have artefacts (e.g. with title bar and context menu) in KDE, but it run at normal SMB at normal speed. According to Arch Wiki there is a bug in X11 related to GLAMOR.

Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series + open source driver = screen flickers

Hello, this is my first post here. I just finished setting up my first arch installation on my laptop and I'm using Xorg + gnome 3 as user interface.
My laptop has two VGA cards, an integrated intel VGA card and a Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series, so I used vgaswitcheroo to switch to the Mobility Radeon and turned off the intel VGA card.
Now, here's the problem: I want 3d acceleration to play games and such, but the opensource radeon driver is being weird.
Basically, if I use my Mobility Radeon and the opensource driver the lower-center part of the screen flickers when i move windows vertically. It flickers to black in a polygon-like area and the window shadows get all messed up. If i try to start a game that uses 3d acceleration (such as nexuiz) it runs extremely slow (way too slow for this VGA card) and flickers like crazy in the same area and sometimes on the entire screen.
I already tried using the proprietary driver (catalyst) but it doesn't seem to support switchable VGA cards, since it gives me memory segmentation error.
However, if I switch back to the Intel VGA card and use the opensource intel driver, it runs just fine with no flickering and nexuiz runs better (but of course not fast enough since the intel VGA card is crappy)
As you can see here, 3D acceleration seems to be enabled and Xorg doesn't seem to give any major error or warning:
