Solved KMS does not load

Jo20

Jo20

Hello, I have just installed FreeBSD 9.3 with KDE and tried to enable 3D acceleration on AMD Radeon 6250 through adding these firmwares to /boot/loader.conf:

Code: 
2  1 0xffffffff81812000 26b8  radeonkmsfw_PALM_pfp.ko
3  1 0xffffffff81815000 2aa8  radeonkmsfw_PALM_me.ko
4  1 0xffffffff81818000 2138  radeonkmsfw_SUMO_rlc.ko

However, when I boot I get a blank screen for a while and then appears KDM, I log in and I see that the proper firmwares haven't loaded. Anybody knows what I do wrong?
 
It seems like everyone who tries to load the firmware manually has trouble. The drivers load the firmware automatically, so try removing all of those entries from /boot/loader.conf first.
 
Greetings, Jo20. I don't suppose you could post the relevent part(s) from dmesg(8) (/var/run/dmesg.boot), could you? In fact, it might be just as well to post it all. That way, you could see what the kernel thinks you have, and what it does about it.

All the best.

These are exactly the same firmware files my Radeon HD 6310 uses. Without further details what goes wrong on your machine: For me radeonkms did NOT work when loaded (along with the firmware) from loader.conf. Using the radeon driver for Xorg, the modules get auto-loaded and then it works fine. See DRI not working, AMD E 300 with Radeon HD 6310.

Sorry for not appearing lately (too much work!). I have to say a few more things about the problem:
  • /etc/x11/ is empty; this happens with every *BSD I've tried.
  • I have made a reinstall (I had some accidents :oops:) and this time I didn't install Xorg from ports, I don't know if that matters.
 
xorg.conf is usually not needed. If it is, the correct location for it on FreeBSD is /usr/local/etc/X11 (hier(7)).

In theory, using either ports or packages should work the same as long as they are the most recent version. If you install ports or packages from the install DVD, they are not the most recent, just what was available when the release was created.

The radeon driver is part of x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati.

Can you verify that you do not have the firmware loading in /boot/loader.conf any more?
 
Again, xorg.conf is not created automatically, and is usually not needed. In other words, most systems are better off without it.

One more time: have you removed any KMS firmware loading from /boot/loader.conf?

Yes, I have removed them. The reason I insist in xorg.conf is because I've read that it has to be configured in order for Compiz to work.
 
X starts normally; the only problem is OpenGL and 3D acceleration. If these get fixed then Compiz should work.
 
Okay, good. What document says xorg.conf is required for Compiz? Have you tried it without xorg.conf?

I don't see any messages from radeonkms in there ... could you please try dmesg | grep dri after X started?
Also, grep DRI /var/log/Xorg.0.log could be helpful.

That article is from 2008 and Nvidia-specific.

Why did you choose FreeBSD 9?

Please put /var/log/Xorg.0.log somewhere on the web (like www.pastebin.com) and post a link to it.
Click to expand...

OK, you have right, the article is old. I advise it because I don't know how exactly different is Compiz in FreeBSD from other Linux distros I've used.
I use FreeBSD 9x only for sysinstall; it makes things easier. :)

This is the output from xorg.0.log.

Looks good. Driver is loaded correctly, GLX and DRI2 available. Not sure what the problem is, but it is not the Xorg configuration.

There must be a problem: Windows in KDE look thrashed in movement and desktop effects using OpenGL (including the OpenGL itself) cannot be enabled. Also the firmware never gets loaded; when I give kldstat | grep radeonkmsfw the firmwares are there.
