It’s working fine on my RV530 on a MacBook Pro.
There is however a regression over 6.10 (”OpenOffice toolbar button corruption [EXA, r500]”, caused by fa8e5a4fc236f8f15f462cb0d6164b194a65a118):

and a regression over 6.9 (”screen corruption while loading X”, caused by 346228b20c69a965c9e7d67157f42c1d36a5b6c3):

Hmm. Display hangs with no output on my HD4670 & all git checkouts as of today if I turn DRI on. With DRI off, display appears to work fine, but no XV. Is this the currently expected behaviour?

If you’re running master then DRI support and acceleration for 6xx/7xx are not there. It probably shouldn’t crash but acceleration is not expected to work on your card either.
The 6.11 release will come out of master so that’s definitely where agd5f is looking for test feedback.
If you are running the 6xx-7xx-support branches of radeon and drm then both EXA and Xv acceleration should work.

This was the 6xx-7xx-support branches of radeon and drm. I’ll have another prod when I have time.

master works fine, or at least the git master checkouts that have been dropped into Debian experimental do.
However, the r6xx-r7xx-support branch, with r6xx-r7xx builds of both git drm & xf86-video-ati leads to either:
without DRI: Working X, but no acceleration whatsoever: solid window moves are slow.
with DRI: display turns off after stating X. There’s nothing in the Xorg.log file after “(II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering enabled” appears. The Xserver quits, leaving the display non-operative.
The kernel says:
[drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
No module found in object
radeon 0000:01:00.0: setting latency timer to 64

The machine is still alive: I can log into it, tell X to use the old driver by changing the module path & everything works fine.
Ah ha: I’ve got hold of the Xserver output, which finishes with:
/usr/bin/X: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//radeon_drv.so: undefined symbol: R600DrawInit
That’s weird: the function is defined in r600_exa.c

Further investigation reveals that I’d failed to regenerate the makefiles after switching branches. Argh.
It would be nice if configure *noticed* that the Makefile.in files had all changes & it would make sense to regenerate the Makefiles.
Will try again and report back!

It works!
So PEBKAC. Apart from the aforementioned whinge about automake/autoconf & it’s a bit unfortunate that Xorg leaves the card in a non-working state on exit, because it doesn’t check for symbol availability when it loads radeon_drv.so

Hey…
Hi there, I don’t want to change this subject, but how exactly does one program a website like this one? Is it complicated? Where exactly do you begin?…
