Userspace is not a problem here, many distributions have GL implementation switch tools already.
I have users reporting that 6.14.4 suffers from the problem reported here. Basically, radeon.ko is loaded by X with KMS enabled, (CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS=n but modprobe.d/ contains "options radeon modeset=1") but X fails to start with: (EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed because of a version mismatch. [dri] This chipset requires a kernel module version of 1.17.0, [dri] but the kernel reports a version of 2.16.0.[dri] Make sure your module is loaded prior to starting X, and [dri] that this driver was built with support for KMS. [dri] Aborting. The problem is that xf86-video-ati is built with KMS and radeon.ko loads with modeset=1 but still, X fails to load due to the initialization (bug?) issue reported by the OP. Restarting X fixes the problem. I do think there is something to fix here and it would be nice to at least fix this chicken/egg issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/534662 Title: [RV635] No hardware acceleration on ATI Radeon 3650 HD using 'radeon' driver Status in xserver-xorg-driver-ati: Unknown Status in xserver-xorg-video-ati package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-radeon On Lucid Lynx, after few updates I completely lost graphics hardware acceleration. As fglrx won't work with new xorg, I use radeon driver (my card is ATI Radeon 3650 HD). I used to have perfect 3d graphic, compiz and games used to work smoothly, but from some time I can't use any of them, when I lunch a game it consumes 100% cpu and lags a lot, and when I start compiz, it says compiz (core) - Fatal: Software rendering detected. compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0 compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0 so my guess is that the radeon driver is not providing me with 3d hardware acceleration. ================================= I don't know if it is a significant tip, but I found out that use-count of module 'radeon' is 0, as lsmod shows. Module Size Used by radeon 738407 0 ttm 60847 1 radeon drm_kms_helper 30742 1 radeon drm 198930 3 radeon,ttm,drm_kms_helper i2c_algo_bit 6024 1 radeon ... ================================ I have no idea on what can be wrong. Maybe the problem is somewhere in my configuration (but I doubt it), maybe it's a bug in radeon driver, or maybe it's a bug somewhere else. I hope debug info I provide will be useful.
