I'd like to try out a few options for the radeon-driver, but I can't for my
life figure out why my custom conf-file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d is
ignored.
The file looks like this;
# cat 53-radeon.conf
Section "Device"
Driver "radeon"
#Identifier "Device0"
#Identifier "Configured Video Device"
#Identifier "Default Device"
Identifier "ATI Radeon HD 5570"
#Identifier "RADEON(0)"
BusID "PCI:0:1:0:0"
#ChipID 0x68d9
#disable
Option "SwapbuffersWait" "off"
# enable
Option "ColorTiling" "on"
# enable
Option "ColorTiling2D" "on"
EndSection
I seem to be unable to guess at what I should put in the Identifier line so
these changes get applied. The files gets read, a typo in it will make the
x-server unstartable.
It may depend on customizations of the distro you use, but I have found that
any changes you wish to make to video via xorg.conf.d/ require you connect
device, monitor and screen via their identifiers. Look at
http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/xorg.conf-minimal-EDID-workaround and/or
http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/xorg.conf-minimal-force-DPI to see what I mean.
That's what I was suspecting as well. This makes it a little tougher since
I have double monitors and after moving over to using xrandr this got a
lot easier to configure than before.
I have a couple of generations of xorg.confs to cheat from though.
Life is a lot easier than in -95, at least modelines work out of the box
these days.
Also remember when troubleshooting X video that /var/log/Xorg.#.log is your
friend. It's probably telling you what's wrong.
It does :)
[ 16.873] (II) RADEON(0): SwapBuffers wait for vsync: enabled
What the log doesn't tell me however, is the Identifier for the
graphics-card. Or I'm unable to read it from the log.
There isn't any way to dictate options for the radeon driver, without
having to handcode sections for monitors and screens as well?
