Solved Can't get video acceleration

[ColdfireMC]

Hi, I recently installed FreeBSD 10.1-RC4. I have a Radeon 4670 and I'm getting this error when I use any 3D software

libGL: screen 0 does not appear to be DRI2 capable
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/local/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so

That's the output of $ glxgears.

My /etc/make.conf says:

I have used the GALLIUM TEXTURE options when building graphics/dri. I'm using the x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati driver.

Please tell me if you need more information.

Which video card do you have?

I forgot to say that... Radeon 4670 (RV730) using x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati. (I'm editing the initial message anyway.)

My /etc/make.conf has:

OPTIONS_SET=GALLIUM

Other than that, the ports were built standard. I'm not sure what the situation is with packages now.

Some weeks ago I wrote another post about an acceleration problem, in that case, the solution was to define permission policies over /dev/dri/card0 using devfs(8). Well, this is not the case, in this system everyone has access to card0, and I still can't get acceleration (note that the error message is different).

What does OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD JUNIPER?

Just to be sure, was X installed from ports or packages? Is it up to date?

I have this in xorg.conf, but it might not be needed:

Section "DRI"
  Group 0
  Mode  0660
EndSection

In fact, I previously added that to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and unfortunately hasn't any effect.
Situation doesn't change when I manually make # chmod 777 /dev/dri/card0 (In the previous case this was a fast workaround, and everything went fine after this until system reboot).

Note that this is not the same installation of the previous case, I have reinstalled FreeBSD completely the last week.

/etc/devfs.conf says

 perm  card0  0777

All comes from ports(8) and is up to date (today a couple of hours ago).

OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.4, 256 bits)

makes me think it is using software rendering. I don't know why that would happen. The 4670 should be roughly the same as the 4650, which worked the last time I tried it.

I would remove the fbdev and vesa devices from xorg.conf.

For now, please post /var/log/Xorg.0.log somewhere like www.pastebin.com and give a pointer. It might be necessary to take this to the freebsd-x11 mailing list.

http://pastebin.com/zWk6EgUi contains /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

Clearly line 386 says

[    26.824] (II) RADEON(0): GPU accel disabled or not working, using shadowfb for KMS"

Acceleration worked for me without problems on previous installations so it's not a hardware nor a driver capabilities problem.

Considering I have a huge CPU (i7-3930k), performance statistics do not reveal problems ( $ glxgears runs above 800 fps, games/minecraft-client is surprisingly playable at 25-30 fps), but when I ran those with acceleration things change dramatically, textures look completely different and everything runs much faster.

Also I provide /boot/loader.conf:

radeonkmsfw_R700_rlc_load=YES
radeonkmsfw_RV730_me_load=YES
radeonkmsfw_RV730_pfp_load=YES
radeonkms_load=YES
smbus_load=YES
kern.ipc.shmall=32768
kern.ipc.shmmni=1024
kern.ipc.shmseg=1024
cuse4bsd_load=YES

Why are the first four lines there? A lot of people who manually load those modules experience problems. And they are unnecessary, they are autoloaded when X starts.

They let me use hi-res text mode over TTYs without X. Anyway, they did not prevent getting acceleration the last time. I'll test without those lines.

UPDATE: I commented those lines, rebooted and acceleration worked
