[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...

  • Crash with ATI Radeon X1900 XT and second HD display (DVI) ?

    hi ! i have a realy tough one for you guys : since 3-4 days i've been getting this realy strange (and scary!) kernal panic screen / crashes / freeze with my macpro dual 2.66 with ati radeon X1900 xt.
    the crashes keep coming while doing extensive work (video converting, renders) or just letting the macpro running doing nothing much all night long...
    now this is what i found for now : if i disconect my 2nd display (samsung syncmaster 2493hm HD in DVI 1080p) it seem to be stable. when i reconnect it sometime it can run again with this 2nd display for a while but when i leave a render all night long the next morning it will be frozen, nothing on screen (all black).
    after rebooting it get this crash report from the system :

    anyone ever see this problem ? at 1st it seem to be related to my ATI card... but i'm no expert so if anyone can understand part of the crash log let me know ! thanx !!
    also forget to say : did all the full apple hardware test + tech tool pro test (app that come with apple care) and nothing was wrong, all ok.

    Are you really still running 10.6.3? you will need 10.6.5+ so do that and make a clone.
    ATI 5770 from Apple Store - like 1000s of others have done and in the comments section on the store page.

  • Black screen on startx with ati radeon HD4330 Mobility and fglrx

    Hi,
    I managed to install Archlinux on my HP Butterfly laptop that's great !
    However I am not able to get X running properly.
    lspci|grep VGA
    00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
    01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M92 LP [Mobility Radeon HD 4300 Series]
    Firstly I tried to use the xf86-video-ati open source driver but it made my kernel crash during the module init.
    So I am now trying fglrx, and at least my kernel is unharmed.
    But all I get is a black screen after running startx.
    Here is my X log :

    I tried those tips Archlinux Catalyst Wiki but it didn't help.
    I may be missing something obvious, but I am quite desperate so any help is welcome.
    I can give you any other log that would be meaningfull to you.
    Thanks for helping Archlinux to spread a little more.

  • ATI Radeon drivers problems (both open-source and proprietary)

    Hi 2 All!!
    I have a problem with my ATI Radeon 9000-series. The open source drivers (xf86-video-ati) don't work very good for me, my monitor's fresh rate isn't "at-top" and the monitor projection is slightly translated to the right (say 8-12 pixels). So I've tried to build the official drivers with ABS, all is gone successfully, except for some worrying warnings, but I thought that it's normal. I have a customized kernel, build through ABS... So, when I've tried to load the fglrx module it says:
    # modprobe fglrx
    FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.27-ARCH/video/fglrx.ko): Cannot allocate memory
    Please, help me! My machine is slow, I can't run any OpenGL-accelerated application, even Quake III!!! If you can suggest me how to improve the performance and how to resolve problems with open-source drivers, it also would be very good... Thank you and sorry for my poor English please.

    I had some problems with installing ATI drivers recently (could not build fglrx module, not even manually, I had to change some installation script), but with latest driver version (8.11 I think) from ati.amd.com was everything fine (I have Radeon 9600 Pro)
    Try to do this (and write here the output)
    glxinfo | grep vendor
    fglrxinfo
    In both cases, it should write something like OpenGL...: ATI... if there will be MESA or DRI, that means that you don't have loaded your fglrx module.
    If fglrxinfo output will be something like: no permission for...(should be first or second line of the output), then write this somewhere in your xorg.conf:
       Section "DRI"
           Mode 0666
       EndSection
    run:
    modprobe -a fglrx - and give here the output. If there will be none, run:
    lsmod | grep fglrx - to see wheter fglrx module is really loaded in kernel
    if you will have no module, you can install one, type:
    cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod
    sh make.sh
    cd ../
    sh make_install.sh (as root)
    and post any warning or error here at forum, drivers (but not fglrx module) are installed at /usr/share/ati
    After installing drivers, you also need to configure your system (notice your system that it's there), commands:
    aticonfig --initial (for editing your xorg.conf)
    aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv (acceleration support in xorg.conf)
    Showing your xorg.conf file here is also good idea, here is mine (sections Device and Screen):

  • 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:

    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.

  • Upgrade MacPro1,1 with ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512 MB and Open GL 1.7.7. to recommended system requirements for heli simulator: OpenGL Version 2.1 compatible 3D-graphics card from NVIDIA or ATI with 512MB.

    I want to install a helicopter simulator into my MacPro1,1 with ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512 MB and Open GL 1.7.7. Recommended system requirements for the heli simulator are: OpenGL Version 2.1 compatible 3D-graphics card from NVIDIA or ATI with 512MB (at least as fast as NVIDIA 8600, 9400 or ATI Radeon HD 2400). Is there such a graphics card available that will work in my Mac Pro?

    Are you really still running 10.6.3? you will need 10.6.5+ so do that and make a clone.
    ATI 5770 from Apple Store - like 1000s of others have done and in the comments section on the store page.

    how to install drivers for ati radeon 3200?and how to config xorg.conf?

    mawch wrote:how to install drivers for ati radeon 3200?and how to config xorg.conf?
    Hello
    I am using ati hd 3200 which is integrated with my motherboard. If you are using arch you can download & install through pacman. The package is named like catalyst*. You can install them by issuing as root user
    #pacman -Sy
    #pacman -S -l | grep -i catalyst
    #pacman -S catalyst catalyst-utils
    After installation reboot your machine in runlevel 1. (single mode).  Ensure "fglrx" module is loaded correctly using
    #lsmod | grep -i fglrx
    If the resultant output have "fglrx" part  the module is loaded correctly. The next step is to create a working /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Backup your current xorg.conf if needed.
    #cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bkup
    Then issue
    #aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
    This will create a new xorg.conf file. Now we can test our confign.
    #telinit 3
    I am using runlevel 3 to avoid graphic messup!!
    issue
    #gdm
    If you graphical login screen works correctly there is nothing to do more except adjust your monitor resoloution as you like.
    To know your ati driver is working correctly issue as root
    #fgl_glxgears
    If gears are rolling happily it seems correct. You can also know more about installed ati driver
    #fglrxinfo
    Now the installed driver version is in the output 
    If there is any problem try following
    ##### Soloutions to solve various display problems using ATI Catalyst Drivers in Linux #####
    yes video playback is choppy until i ran :-
    sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
    Try adding the following to the 'Device' section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Option "TexturedVideo" "true"
    ### This is a half solution for mythtv problems. Run mythtv in window (no full screen) If You have a screen resolution of 1024x768 try the command;

    Append the "Device" Section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as follows;
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Videocard0"

  • MDD upgrade conflict with ATI Radeon 9800

    does anyone out there have my specs; Sonnettech MDX Dual 1.6gh processor with ATI Radeon 9800 Pro VGA card? After installing the processor, i now get weird lines all over the screen at bootup and then i get a bunch of green speckles all over my desktop after the computer boots. i can work on my computer, but the screen images, speckles and other artifacts are annoying. i have dropped the hz to 66 and the screen resolution to 800x600 because higher resolutions would cause the computer to freeze. does anyone have any catalyst settings or ATI display panel suggestions ? i wish i could attach the pictures i took of the display.
    Dual Power Mac G4 867 & Macbook Pro 2gig   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   FCP Studio 5.1.2

    Well, i tried your idea, bought the iceberq5, installed it with ease and things just got worse. 1st, my MDD Dual 867 mac's AGP slot is right next to my fourth RAM slot. So with the Iceberq5 installed, i had to lose 512mb of RAM. it just wont fit. the new cooler cover the RAM slot. so instead of 2gigs of RAM, i'm down to 1.5. 2nd, with the icebeq5 on the ATI card, the door will not close. the iceberq runs into the case holding my DVD drives. After booting the computer up with the case open, the screen still loaded with the screen defects. I'm thinking I have a bad card, yet it worked when the Sonnettech dual processor upgrade was not installed. these weird color lines only occur with the sonnettech md/1.6 dual upgrade and the ATI 9800 Pro installed. I then used TechTool pro to scan and check my AGP card VRAM and it gave me an error. So here is my question, is there another powerful AGP card out there for my mac dual 867 that has a powerful fan on it that is also small enough to allow my case to close and for me to have all my RAM installed ? Thanks

  • K7D Master-L with ATI Radeon 7000

    Is anyone using K7D Master-L with ATI Radeon 7000? I am not able to use this
    combination. When I switch on the power, the screen doesn't show antying. It is just
    blank.  Even though the monitor doesn't show up, if I don't press any key then the
    system goes further till I see all the 4 leds as green and it tries to read from the
    floppy drive. However, if I press a key after the keyboard is initialized, then the
    d-bracket stops at Testing VGA BIOS. I haven't installed my hard drive at this stage.
    MSI support asked me to try with another graphics card. They also suggested clearing
    CMOS. I cleared the CMOS and the problem still exists. In addition, now the d-bracket
    stops at "Initializing hard drive controller" though I didn't install hard drive. So, I went
    ahead and installed my 200GB hard drive and no change. I think, to fix this issue, I
    should first be able to fix my VGA issue. Also note that as I can't see the monitor from
    the beginning, I don't know what my BIOS version is and if I can flash it with the latest
    version.

    I just tried with Creative Lab's "3D Blaster Savage4 32MB AGP (32MB SDRAM) "   CT6900 which I borrowed from a friend. It didn't work either though this card is supposed to support AGP 2x/4x.  I need to see what other cards I can get hold of
    and try.
    However, as I mentioned, initially the sequence was complete and I could see the 4 leds showing green. But after the advice from MSI tech support to try clearing CMOS for this problem, now the sequence stops at "Initiating Hard Drive Controller" (red red green green). Could this be because the BIOS doesn't know the HDD details after resetting CMOS? If so, once I get my VGA problem resolved will I be able to solve this problem
    by entering into BIOS setup? At what stage does the BIOS setup screen show up when I press 'Del' key? If it is after the entire POST sequence then I will be stuck at the hard drive initialization. Also, I read that AMI BIOS supports Ins key which will bypass CMOS setup in the case. Does AWARD BIOS has any such functionality?

    Problems with ATI Radeon HD 2600, electrical interference or flickering pixels
    I have a Macro 8 core purchased just 4 months ago with the ATI Radeon HD 2600. Just started getting what looks like electrical interference or flickering pixels all over the screen. It gets worse and worse to the point where i see and cant work then clears up for an hour and then comes back.
    If I change the resolution from 1680x1050 to 1600x1200 everything looks fine and the problem goes away.
    Monitor works fine on two other computers, driver is up to date.
    Would like to upgrade at some point just disappointed that I’m already having problems.
    Any suggestions would be very helpful, in the mean time I’ll searching the forums.

  • After Effects 7 with ATI Radeon X1900 XT

    Hi everyone,
    I use Adobe After Effects 7 a lot and I'm not happy with my current machine (PowerPC G5 2x1.8GHZ, 2GB DDR SDRAM, ATI Radeon X800 XT), it is too slow to work smoothly when I have several layers and effects going on. Previewing the work on the timeline (OpenGL or Adaptative resolution) is painfully slow and takes on my nerves. I believe this is mainly due to my graphics card, and the fact is not 100% compatible with OpenGL on After effects.
    I'm ready to upgrade with a Mac Pro 2.66 GHz Quad Xeon with ATI Radeon X1900 XT, but only if I'm going to enjoy a real improve with After Effects 7, as this is my main editing application right now.
    Does anybody have experience with this configuration?
    Thanks in advance for reading and replies!
    PowerPC G5 2x1.8GHZ   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   2GB DDR SDRAM, ATI Radeon X800 XT

    I have this configuration, but sadly have had no time to play around with After Effects. AE's realtime playback capabilities are limited (especially when compared with something like Motion), so you're probably still going to be rendering to RAM a lot. I believe the OpenGL support is for things like anti-aliasing, blur, and blending modes -- so a faster video card may not automatically equal huge performance boost across the board. Four Xeon cores and a lot of RAM will help it a lot more (see exception below).
    Also, AE 7 still has to run under Rosetta which results in a slower performance than if it was native. Also, be aware that there is a limit placed on all Rosetta processes that do not allow them to address more than 1.5GB of RAM combined. This will most likely limit your render speed and preview lengths. See this thread on Adobe's forums for more info:
    http://www.creativecow.net/articles/jonesgraham/AE7_on_IntelMacPro/index.html
    EDIT: The above link was to the performance comparisons, but not the original Adobe forum thread. Here it is:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc2401b
    However, if you read the thread, and follow the link in it, the author is seeing huge performance gains with AE7 on his MacPro 3GBs over his old dual G5 4.5GBs.
    So most likely, you'll see a performance benefit from upgrading. And when an Intel native version of AE ships, things will really fly.

  • Display corruption with ATI Radeon X800 XT

    I installed an ATI Radeon X800XT card and my 23" Apple display got so corrupted I had to remove the card and get back to my old tested ATI Radeon 9650. The symptoms were as follows: soon after startup, a few white pixels appeared near the center of the display. In a matter of minutes, the amount of white pixels grew up exponentially until they grouped in eight vertical bands, thicker at the bottom of the display. If I dragged an application window across the screen, the window "snowed over" with pixel noise and became unusable. In Safe Mode, the card works well. Of course, in this mode I cannot test it with most graphics applications and Final Cut also does not work.
    I have downloaded and installed all the latest (well, 2005) drivers from the ATI support website, posted a support ticket with the manufacturer and am now waiting for its response with abaited breath. Meanwhile, does someone on this forum know how I can make the new card work properly? Thank you for your help.
