Solved ati radeon issue

philo_neo · Nov 15, 2017

hello,
I'm back with my HPC 16 threads, I finally found a video card for my server is a video card ATI Radeon 7000 32MB DDR PCI, it works perfectly on two linux distributions DEB and RPM without drivers, I try for the first time to run this video card on FreeBSD 11.1 i386.
of course I installed the ports: / usr / ports / x11 / gnome3 and / usr / ports / x11 / xorg
here are the actions I did:

video card Radeon 7000 32MB DDR PCI

with the command dmesg I can not find my card

I do not see what I can do to identify the card with the operating system

Hi!

What the specific model of your graphic card? By the WIKI some Radeon 7000 are supported and others not. If yours fall under an unsupported one you could use the graphics/drm-next-kmod what is in sync with some recent linux kernel. However, that port just works with FreeBSD 10.x, and the other only alternative would be 12-CURRENT what is not recommended to production, neither is supported in here.

EDIT: anyway, if it is a supported one I think you would need x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati or x11-drivers/xf86-video-amdgpu.

EDIT_2: Also, x11-servers/xorg-server alone may not be enough, it is always a good idea to install the x11/xorg meta port.

FWIW, the normal way to identify video cards (or other PCI or PCI-like devices) under FreeBSD is with pciconf(8). Typically used like this:

Code:

tingo@kg-core1$ pciconf -lv | grep -A 4 vga
vgapci0@pci0:1:0:0:   class=0x030000 card=0x304a1682 chip=0x68f91002 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]'
    device     = 'Cedar [Radeon HD 5000/6000/7350/8350 Series]'
    class      = display
    subclass   = VGA

thanks tingo !

root@hpc-ortice:~ # pciconf -lv | grep -A 4 vga

Code:

vgapci0@pci0:3:0:0:   class=0x030000 card=0x31fa103c chip=0x0522102b rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Matrox Electronics Systems Ltd.'
    device     = 'MGA G200e [Pilot] ServerEngines (SEP1)'
    class      = display
    subclass   = VGA
--
vgapci1@pci0:1:4:0:   class=0x030000 card=0x021118bc chip=0x51591002 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]'
    device     = 'RV100 [Radeon 7000 / Radeon VE]'
    class      = display
    subclass   = VGA
root@hpc-ortice:~ #

what can I do after identifying my video card, or enter the settings knowing that for now I use the video card Radeon ?

Philippe

rigoletto@ · Nov 16, 2017

Oh, ok it is a actual Radeon 7000, and not a HD 7000 series.

Usually you just need to install:

x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati
x11/xorg

You can also add the driver to load on boot, as pointed in the WIKI:

/etc/rc.conf

Code:

kld_list="radeonkms"

Other than that just for the specific issues which appear.

zakaria zemmoura · Nov 16, 2017

Hi,

According to the output of pciconf -lv | grep -A 4 vga your device is RV100 [Radeon 7000 / Radeon VE]

the radeon driver handle it
simply run $ man radeon | grep 'Radeon 7000' will shows you that.

as said in the handbook, do not try to create a manual configuration file but run [B]# Xorg -configure[/B] this will create a file named xorg.conf.new then make the changes you need, then test your settings with # [B]Xorg -config /root/xorg.conf.new[/B] and lastly, copy it in /usr/local/etc/X11 and strip the suffix '.new' or split it if you wish.

i Hope that will help

rigoletto@ · Nov 16, 2017

The use xorg.conf is actually not recommended anymore since most of times x11/xorg works out of the box without that. And apparently it was doing more bad than good.

For specific tweaking and fixes, the current recommended way is to use separated files in /usr/local/etc/xorg.conf.d.

philo_neo · Nov 16, 2017

1 / after adding the parameter kld_list = "radeonkms" in /etc/rc.conf, I get a black screen without widgets ...
I tried to reverse the order by declaring the parameter at the beginning of rc.conf , always the same! black screen...

2 / with Xorg -config /root/xorg.conf.new I get the same problem after disabling kld_list = "radeonkms", the result is a black screen without widgets ...

3 /yes lebarondemerde I agree with you for the use of conf.d, for auto configuration, xorg.conf setting is no longer done, it's finished!

Given the quality of the hardware components of the welds, I think my card is quite upscale even if it is old.

We are not very far from the solution!

rigoletto@ · Nov 16, 2017

What you are trying to use with xorg? I mean what DE or WM? This may be a helpfull info. Cinnamon is know to have the black window problem.

One more thing, did you installed x11/xorg? x11/xorg-server usually does not pull all necessary deps.

Phishfry · Nov 16, 2017

I think the problem is xorg is trying to use vgapci0 while vgapci1 is needed.

Your probably going to have to make an custom xorg.conf entry for vgapci1 to override the onboard Matrox device.

Like So:

Code:

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "scfb"
        BusID       "PCI:0:1:4"
EndSection

With the Driver "*" being whatever your using.

I do not understand the problem because the X server will not start anymore!

Phishfry · Nov 16, 2017

You seem to have it twice under "Devices" Use it only once.

maybe try Device0 instead of Card0

Also use your radeon driver instead of scfb. That was just an example.

Code:

Section "Device"
       Identifier  "Device0"
       Driver      "radeon"
       BusID       "PCI:0:1:4"
EndSection

Phishfry · Nov 16, 2017

From your 'Screen' section it uses Card0
Try this:
/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/video.conf:

Code:

Section "Device"
      Identifier  "Card0"
      Driver      "radeon"
      BusID       "PCI:0:1:4"
EndSection

my X server will not start anymore!

what do I have to do to find the original xorg.conf I'm not backup!

How to regenerate the automatic start of the X server daemon,
an empty Xorg.conf or destroyed?

tingo · Nov 16, 2017

You can try to rename (not delete) your existing Xorg.conf to something else, then you have an empty Xorg.conf.

philo_neo · Nov 16, 2017

yes tingo i have generate a new xorg.conf
So I have two video card and two screen output, which I choose so I have 4² = 16 solutions, how to choose the right video card and the good screen?

here is my new xorg.conf in hardware conflict:

Hi!

What the specific model of your graphic card? By the WIKI some Radeon 7000 are supported and others not. If yours fall under an unsupported one you could use the graphics/drm-next-kmod what is in sync with some recent linux kernel. However, that port just works with FreeBSD 10.x, and the other only alternative would be 12-CURRENT what is not recommended to production, neither is supported in here.

EDIT: anyway, if it is a supported one I think you would need x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati or x11-drivers/xf86-video-amdgpu.

EDIT_2: Also, x11-servers/xorg-server alone may not be enough, it is always a good idea to install the x11/xorg meta port.

amdgpu is going to be for 12, it's not supported on < 12... : >

hello, I iterated my installation on HPC I chose to install FreeBSD 10.3 for i386. after a long night to compile the following ports:
/ x11 / gnome3 and / usr / ports / x11 / xorg where i removed the diver vesa and let only the ATI drivers, try this:
/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/video.conf:

Code:

Section "Device"
     Identifier  "Card0"
     Driver      "radeon"
     BusID       "PCI:0:1:4"
EndSection

I also deactivated kld_list = "radeonkms" in the rc.conf file
when i do # Xorg -configure. i create a file named xorg.conf.new. test my settings with # Xorg -config /root/xorg.conf.new.
the X server does not start.
normally my video card, is compatible with this version of FreeBSD!
I prefer to stop testing for tonight!
I'm waiting for some comment to solve my problem

After deactivate /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/video.conf:
My server X start !
this is my /var/log/Xorg.0.log

look this post https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/61614/ if somebody have ideas !!

philo_neo · Dec 10, 2017

cuurent 12 are operational !

thread/post solved

scottro · Dec 10, 2017

To clarify, do you mean that by installing FreeBSD-CURRENT, the card now works for you and didn't in 11.x?

philo_neo · Dec 11, 2017

yes quite Scottro!
I tried with 11.1 and 10.3, automatic switching is not done.
I tested several configuration settings, but unfortunately without success!
Here are the commands I made on the current 12:
1 / compilation of ports 11 / xorg, and I saw the librarry of "libdrm" settle down.
2 / compilation of ports / gnome3, all by default, just FTS3_TOKEN = off and check OPENMP deactivate.
3 / here are the orders made last!

 

vi  /var/log/Xorg.0.log

 ldd /usr/local/bin/Xorg

ldd /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so

 pkg check -d --dry-run

ldd /usr/local/bin/Xorg

ldd /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so

pkg check -d --dry-run

portmaster x11-servers/xorg-server x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa



Xorg -configure



Xorg -config /root/xorg.conf.new

ps: if you have a url link to compile a kernel on FreeBSD, I'm fine because he sees only 3 GB on 12 GB RAM.

I have no idea what you're trying to say, sorry, but I can speak French if that helps...
