Can't get OpenGL to work on Radeon free drivers (Jessie)

[mashen]

Hi. I'm using Debian Jessie. All the firmware packages are properly installed, and so are the radeon free driver packages.
However, Gallium falls back to llvmpipe, which from what I understand is a software rasterizer and not actually hardware rendering.
Everything works fine except some specific things like KDE's cube animation, which says it can't be enabled because it requires OpenGL.
How do I get Debian to run Gallium properly?

I attached some relevant info, if you need anything else to diagnose the issue, please ask.

glxinfo | grep -i opengl

Code: Select all

OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.4, 256 bits)
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 10.1.0
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
OpenGL extensions:

This is the output of /var/log/Xorg.0.log

If this is any help, I used to run the proprietary drivers

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'd much rather run the free AMD drivers over the proprietary ones.

Hm. Your video card is

Code: Select all

Chipset: "VERDE" (ChipID = 0x682d)

According to this:
http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/#index5h2
VERDE is a "Southern Islands" series chip.
The Southern Islands chips are supported only in the newer OSS radeon drivers. They use the "radeonsi" driver (which is the Xorg sub-driver for newer chips).
The "radeonsi" drivers can use hardware acceleration under X ONLY if they use the GLAMOR acceleration (as opposed to the previous chips that used EXA).
So, naturally you need a GLAMOR implementation. Which isnt part of the X server 1.15 (it will be in 1.16) but can be used only if you have an external library.
The problem is that Debian doesnt provide it ATM. Which isnt right since people with newer hardware that has working drivers are prevented from using them in any worthwile way.

Solution:
Compile glamor yourself:

Code: Select all

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/glamor
cd glamor
./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install

Here you will probably have to muck around with -dev packages to get it to compile. I honestly dont remember which are exactly needed but the configure (or autogen) script will tell you when something is missing and what its that exactly. And they are all in Debian AFAIK.

and then set up xorg.conf with:

Code: Select all

Section "Module"
	Load  "dri2"
	Load  "glamoregl"
EndSection
Section "Device"
    Identifier "radeon"
    Driver "radeon"
    Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
EndSection

Restart.
If X fails to launch, save the log, rename xorg.conf and restart it.
Now i dont know how it will work with the current mesa in Jessie but worth a try. Also i dont know if the HW decoding VDPAU code is enabled in Debian so the stock packages might not provide hardware decoding for HD videos (which works really well if its compiled in BTW).

If you want to have it all, and its probably best for your hardware since the radeonsi driver is in full swing of development and the latest code (likely not in Debian) is very promising, you will have to compile:
- latest kernel
- latest mesa
- latest libdrm
- latest glamor
- latest xf86-ati

PS. Since you use a 64 bit system make sure you have BOTH 32 AND 64 bit mesa components installed because if you run a 32 bit application (STEAM and everything on it for example) it will work ONLY if you have corresponding 32 bit mesa libraries.
I personally have r600g hardware (previous generation) and i run GLAMOR on it and have all the above components compiled directly from the git code periodically (including 32 bit versions).

Wow, that was a very thorough reply, thanks so much. I'll try that and report back if I had any issues or if it was successful.

[mashen]

I think I got pretty far, but the output of

glxinfo | grep -i opengl

after rebooting is still

Code: Select all

OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.4, 256 bits)
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 10.1.0
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
OpenGL extensions:

And that is after setting a xorg.conf file with those options as well.

Honestly, it got to a point where .autogen.sh and make wouldn't tell me anything so I didn't know what to try next.
Here's the output of ./autogen.sh :

http://pastebin.com/uSPdWZbt

It seemed to run successfully, however

Code: Select all

make

http://pastebin.com/96ZNVwj4

I though I could ignore the warnings, so I tried

Code: Select all

sudo make install

http://pastebin.com/Cp1hpKam

It did create library files, but they don't seem to work.

[gradinaruvasile]

Damn. Wrong info...

Sorry.

[mashen]

I got the following error messages:
First script: http://pastebin.com/iJRRiS45
Second script: http://pastebin.com/hKpXRpsp

[gradinaruvasile]

Dang. I poosted something wrong there (mesa build options instead of glamor...).
Ok, so i build gramor like this:

Code: Select all

make clean 
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-glx-tls --enable-xv
make

And build the .deb (instead of make install):

Code: Select all

fakeroot checkinstall --install=no --pkgarch=amd64 --backup=no --pkgname=glamor --pkgversion=5.1-`git describe` --default

[mashen]

That's OK! I compiled with the new options now.
Unfortunately, I keep getting the same output of glxinfo | grep -i opengl after rebooting:

Code: Select all

OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.4, 256 bits)
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 10.1.0
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
OpenGL extensions:

Here's the output of the compiling commands if they're any help:

Hm. You dont have this in the log:

Code: Select all

(**) RADEON(0): Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"

Make sure you have :

Code: Select all

Section "Device"
    Identifier "radeon"
    Driver "radeon"
    Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
EndSection

in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and

Code: Select all

Section "Module"
	Load  "dri2"
	Load  "glamoregl"
EndSection

in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/glamor.conf
Although the whole stuff should work in xorg.conf too.

[mashen]

Yeah, I noticed some funny things in the log. For example, glamor seems to be loaded

Code: Select all

[    23.985] (II) "glx" will be loaded by default.
[    23.985] (II) LoadModule: "dri2"
[    23.985] (II) Module "dri2" already built-in
[    23.985] (II) LoadModule: "glamoregl"
[    23.995] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so
[    24.123] (II) Module glamoregl: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
[    24.123]    compiled for 1.15.0, module version = 0.6.0
[    24.123]    ABI class: X.Org ANSI C Emulation, version 0.4
[    24.123] (II) LoadModule: "glx"
[    24.123] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
[    24.135] (II) Module glx: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
[    24.135]    compiled for 1.15.0, module version = 1.0.0
[    24.135]    ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 8.0
[    24.135] (==) AIGLX enabled
[    24.135] Loading extension GLX

Which would make it seem as if it'd work. However, after that it says

Code: Select all

[    24.375] (WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled
[    24.375] (II) RADEON(0): Acceleration disabled

Could it be because of my version of mesa? I'm using the latest mesa version from Jessie, which is 10.1.0-4
Anyway, both /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/glamor.conf and /etc/X11/xorg.conf were actually already there, and with the right content in.

Code: Select all

$ cat /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/glamor.conf 
Section "Module"
   Load  "dri2"
   Load  "glamoregl"
EndSection

Code: Select all

$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Module"
   Load  "dri2"
   Load  "glamoregl"
EndSection
Section "Device"
    Identifier "radeon"
    Driver "radeon"
    Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
EndSection

Not the version itself, but how it is compiled.
Make sure you have libegl1-mesa, libegl1-mesa-drivers installed too.

Also check for the radeonsi lib

Code: Select all

sudo updatedb
locate /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/radeonsi_dri.so

If its there, you have radeonsi support for mesa. But it might have some other config options not suitable for glamor.
And besides, there is the xorg video driver and that has a option to disable glamor for good in it (--disable-glamor). I dont know how it is compiled by default for Debian.

Anyway, for starters see if you install libegl1-mesa, libegl1-mesa-drivers and remove the "module" section from xorg.conf only (leave it in the glamor.conf), and leave the rest in xorg.conf and restart.

[mashen]

Sure!
Both libegl1-mesa and libegl1-mesa-drivers are currently installed.

Code: Select all

# aptitude show libegl1-mesa
Package: libegl1-mesa                    
State: installed
Automatically installed: yes
Multi-Arch: same
Version: 10.1.0-4

Code: Select all

# aptitude show libegl1-mesa-drivers
Package: libegl1-mesa-drivers            
State: installed
Automatically installed: yes
Multi-Arch: same
Version: 10.1.0-4

radeonsi_dri.so is there

Code: Select all

# locate /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/radeonsi_dri.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/radeonsi_dri.so

xorg.conf now only has the "Device" section:

Code: Select all

# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device"
    Identifier "radeon"
    Driver "radeon"
    Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
EndSection

However, upon reboot, I get the same result:

Code: Select all

[gradinaruvasile]

I tracked down one of my older post about this:

http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthre ... post359760

I dont know what exactly made it work eventually, but seems to have involved deleting some libraries in that xorg folder.
But, as i posted there, i have everything compiled from git. In this case i would sugges you do the same since the system mesa/xorg driver might not work with glamor.

Do you have libgles2-mesa installed?

[mashen]

I do have libgles2-mesa installed.
Welp, I don't know what to try next then.

[stevepusser]

Looking at the checkinstall output, didn't the manually built libraries get installed into /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib/x86-64-linux-gnu/? And I would guess that the stock Jessie radeon drivers are still installed and being used, instead of being updated as a proper deb package would have done.

[mashen]

Should I symlink them to /usr/lib/x86-64-linux-gnu?
EDIT: Nope, libglamor.la, libglamor.so, libglamor.so.0 and libglamor.so.0.0.0 are all in /usr/lib/x86-64-linux-gnu/, same result.

[gradinaruvasile]

I have them in the /usr/lib folder and glamor works for me:

Code: Select all

~$ locate libglamor
/usr/lib/libglamor.la
/usr/lib/libglamor.so
/usr/lib/libglamor.so.0
/usr/lib/libglamor.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.la
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so

But, as i said you need the whole oss stack compiled if you want to make sure you have all the needed stuff.
So, mesa and xf86-ati:

Code: Select all

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa
git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati

My working mesa build script:

Save these in a script in the buid dir in case you re use them.
If you rebuild them, issues a

Code: Select all

make clean

before building again, to make sure you get rid of the prebious compiled binaries.

[mashen]

Well. That was a lot of pain getting all the necessary -dev files and mucking around with conflicting libraries and the such, but it finally works!!

Code: Select all

$ glxinfo | grep -i opengl
OpenGL vendor string: X.Org
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD CAPE VERDE
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 10.2.0-devel (git-5d0b3ec)
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
OpenGL extensions:

All the effects and acceleration seem to be working now, I'll report if I run into any problems.
Getting all the necessary pre-requisites was a pain, so I've compiled all the stuff I had to do. Hope it helps anyone who wants to try this. Many thanks to gradinaruvasile and his awesome scripts. I'm copy-pasting the scripts and commands he posted so everyone can have all the necessary steps in one post.

First of all, these are the necessary packages that have to be installed in order to have mesa, glamor and xf86-ati compile:

Code: Select all

# aptitude install automake xutils-dev  libgl1-mesa-dev libegl1-mesa-dev libgbm-dev libgbm1 libtool xserver-xorg-dev checkinstall flex  libvdpau-dev  libxcb-xfixes0-dev llvm-3.3 llvm-3.3-dev llvm llvm-dev llvm-runtime   libelf-dev   libexpat1-dev   libbsd-dev 

Next,
glamor:

Code: Select all

$ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/glamor
$ cd glamor
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-glx-tls --enable-xv
$ make
$ fakeroot checkinstall --install=no --pkgarch=amd64 --backup=no --pkgname=glamor --pkgversion=5.1-`git describe` --default
$ sudo dpkg -i glamor*.deb

xf86-ati:

Code: Select all

$ git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati
$ cd xf86-video-ati
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
$ fakeroot checkinstall --install=no --pkgarch=amd64 --backup=no --pkgname=xf86-video-ati --pkgversion=7.3-git-`git describe` --replaces=xserver-xorg-video-radeon,xserver-xorg-video-ati --default
$ sudo dpkg -i xf86-video-ati*.deb

mesa

Code: Select all

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa
cd mesa/

Save the following as mesa-build.sh and put it in that mesa/ directory.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
#--with-llvm-shared-libs \
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/share/pkgconfig ./autogen.sh --sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu \
--enable-debug \
CPPFLAGS="-m64" \
CXXFLAGS="-m64" \
--enable-64-bit --disable-32-bit \
--enable-texture-float \
--with-gallium-drivers=r600,swrast,radeonsi \
--with-dri-drivers="" \
--enable-vdpau \
--enable-egl --enable-gles1 --enable-gles2 \
--enable-glx-tls \
--with-egl-platforms=x11,drm \
--enable-gbm \
--enable-gallium-egl \
--enable-gallium-osmesa \
--with-osmesa-bits=32 \
--disable-dri3 \
--disable-opencl \
--enable-shared-glapi \
--disable-r600-llvm-compiler \
--enable-gallium-llvm

Save the following as mesa-build-deb.sh and put it in that mesa/ directory.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
fakeroot checkinstall --install=no --replaces libgles1-mesa:amd64,opencl-headers,libgl1-mesa-dev,libglapi-mesa:amd64,libgles2-mesa:amd64,libgbm1:amd64,libegl1-mesa-dev,libgl1-mesa-dri:i386,libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64,libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64,libegl1-mesa:amd64,libgl1-mesa-swx11:amd64,libegl1-mesa-drivers:amd64,libosmesa6-dev:amd64,mesa-common-dev --pkgname=mesa --pkgversion=`cat VERSION` --pkgarch=amd64 --backup=no --default

Then,

Code: Select all

$ chmod +x mesa-build.sh mesa-build-deb.sh
$ ./mesa-build.sh
$ ./mesa-build-deb.sh
$ sudo dpkg -i mesa*.deb

I'd like to point out here that I had issues installing the mesa package because of conflicting files.
I had to purge some packages in order to get it to install:

Code: Select all

$ sudo aptitude purge mesa-vdpau-drivers
$ sudo aptitude purge libgbm-dev
$ sudo dpkg -i mesa*.deb

After that, you have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf so it has these contents:

Code: Select all

Section "Device"
    Identifier "radeon"
    Driver "radeon"
    Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
EndSection

And /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/glamor.conf so it has these contents:

Code: Select all

Section "Module"
   Load  "dri2"
   Load  "glamoregl"
EndSection

That's all. Restart and you're set. Again, many thanks to gradinaruvasile
