I want to make an attempt to write a better driver for Radeon Mobility 9000IGP DevID=0x5835.

 

I compiled OpenATI and it works! It work twice as fast as Callisto.

With Callisto I have

Quartz Graphics Test 32.26

Line 31.11 2.07 Klines/sec [50% alpha]

Rectangle 24.58 7.34 Krects/sec [50% alpha]

Circle 26.46 2.16 Kcircles/sec [50% alpha]

Bezier 59.30 1.50 Kbeziers/sec [50% alpha]

Text 36.36 2.27 Kchars/sec

OpenGL Graphics Test 24.10

Spinning Squares 24.10 30.58 frames/sec

User Interface Test 36.44

Elements 36.44 167.22 refresh/sec

With AGPGart+Ati I have

Quartz Graphics Test 51.25

Line 47.58 3.17 Klines/sec [50% alpha]

Rectangle 56.48 16.86 Krects/sec [50% alpha]

Circle 54.39 4.43 Kcircles/sec [50% alpha]

Bezier 64.04 1.62 Kbeziers/sec [50% alpha]

Text 40.27 2.52 Kchars/sec

OpenGL Graphics Test 24.07

Spinning Squares 24.07 30.54 frames/sec

User Interface Test 82.72

Elements 82.72 379.63 refresh/sec

 

This driver have two classes ATIFramebuffer and ATIAccelerator in very initial stage.

I have more advanced sources for Framebuffer that is needed for change resolutions.

It's a way to work.

I have no any sample for IOAccelerator class but may be all that I need is to connect to RadeonGA.plugin etc.

 

Any help? Suggestions?

I want to look to AGPGart sources to understand what is the diffeence between IOPCIDevice and IOAGPDevice. It would be helpful. Any links?

 

Where can I get Linux sources for the ATI driver for RS300 chip?

I have software Opengl.

 

In x11 with glgears I get 117 fps. I am using Katana .03a4. I removed the 8500 kext. Any sugestions for hardware opengl? I replaced 10.4.6 with 10.4.1 version of opengl framework...Software is a little faster now.

hmm screensavers should work ok, just very slowly.

 

OS X works ok without QE and hardware OpenGL. Seriously its not all that bad if thats the only bottleneck on your computer. Movies are slightly choppy, theres a bit less eye candy, and I suppose its not exactly great for gaming but beyond that the OS itself works fine.

 

This is what i am getting,

 

Scrolling is slow, but everything works, the screensaver is like a slide show..

linux ati driver sources

 

Source

 

The components of the DRI have been moved into their respective upstream repositories. The DRI drivers reside within Mesa, and the 2D drivers reside in [X.Org http://www.x.org/]. The remaining component is the DRM, which is maintained in a git tree on freedesktop.org.

 

http://dri.freedesktop.org

 

Latest source dated by 2002! It does not reliable for our card.

 

I found that AGPGart is not correctly work with AGP bus. It checks AGP devices 0x5830-0x5833 but not 0x5838 which I have. It is why any ATIRadeonXXXX.kext don't work correctly with some Radeon Mobility AGP cards.

AppleI386AGP don't work with ATI AGP. Any other drivers?

Wait for news...

Slice, very good new that you try to write a driver,

What's wrong with source code being from from 2002 ? These cards are a bit old now.

I don't know if it can be usefull but the RV500 code has been recently reverse engineered, watch here http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg...une/025506.html.

You may also find some valuable infos inside the radeon.efi file.

You should get in touch with Omni he could probably provide you some usefull infos, you'll find him on the hu server.

About AGPGart, you'll find Joblo10 and all infos here http://x86dev.org/

 

Good luck :P

I have more recent code

I saw at this site

Of course here is the URL to grab source code:

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/avivo/xf86-video-avivo

Where is git client for MacOSX?

You may also find some valuable infos inside the radeon.efi file.

Link?

Yes, I'll do... but

Re: Where is JOBLO10????????

He disappear again!!!!

Joblo 10 WHERE ARE U?

We need U!

Edit : I found a git port here http://metastatic.org/text/Concern/2007/08...e-for-mac-os-x/

 

I tested it, it's OK

Thanks!

 

There are no live contacts with joblo10 or omni group.

But I need help. I don't understand why:

in AGPGart I see

IOLog("%08lx\n",dev);

 

switch (dev) {

case 0xcab01002:

return ("ATI RS100 AGP bridge");

case 0xcab21002:

return ("ATI RS200 AGP bridge");

case 0xcab31002:

return ("ATI RS250 AGP bridge");

case 0x58301002:

return ("ATI RS300_100 AGP bridge");

case 0x58311002:

return ("ATI RS300_133 AGP bridge");

case 0x58321002:

return ("ATI RS300_166 AGP bridge");

case 0x58331002:

return ("ATI RS300_200 AGP bridge");

case 0x58381002:

return ("ATI RS300_233 AGP bridge");

};

Its info.plist

IONameMatch

pci1002,5838

ioreg -l tell me

| | +-o AGP@1

| | | | {

| | | | "built-in" =

| | | | "device-id" =

| | | | "IOPCIConfigured" = Yes

| | | | "name" = "pci-bridge"

| | | | "acpi-path" = "IOACPIPlane:/_SB/PCI0@0/AGP@10000"

| | | | "IOName" = "pci-bridge"

| | | | "class-code" =

| | | | "compatible" =

| | | | "IODTPersist" =

| | | | "subsystem-id" =

| | | | "child-slot-names" = {"5"="AAPL,slot-name=PCI"}

| | | | }

| | | |

| | | +-o AGPGart

| | | | {

and finally I get dmesg

IOPCI2PCIBridge: bad bridge bus numbering, no room to fix, bailing out!

58311002

AGP: Found ATI RS300_133 AGP bridge

AGP: new AGP device

Why 5831??? :)

Hi there,

 

unfortunately I have no educated comment converning the code, I just wanted to say that it is great that again there is process in this thing. I've tried several times to get my 9000 card using QE...but no luck with the kexts around...

 

Slice, if you need any help with that next to programming, just send me a PM. And if you really manage to get QE working on the 9000 series (my device id is 4c66) you can be sure to get a reward from me (via paypal or whatever). No, I do not want you to make it for money...just to show you how desperately I want to get this thing running! :unsure: And I'm sure that I'm not the only one...

 

Actually I would say that this 9000 series driver issue is one of the big big unsolved problems of osx86...

 

And now I will try again to go into this...

 

Regards, jodo

Slice, maybe you simply found an error

 

Yes, I think this is a first problem that we must solve:

an error in working with this AGP bus.

Neither ATIRadeon8500 nor ATIRadeon9700 can get real addresses of the card.

May be this is a last problem.

Thank for all for supports!

It is very hard work.

I try three ways

1. AGPGart for ATI - near for finish, but with non-understandable error.

2. RadeonFB - approximately as Callisto, but still without QE/CI. Maybe. Not working yet.

3. OpenAti - very far from complete.

Does it exist a source tree of a video driver?

 

Where I can find actual source of openati?

Regards

 

It's here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=151388

But as I already mentioned it is in very initial stage. Only empty classes.

The project include linux sources as docs directory.

Analogous sources can be found in git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/avivo/xf86-video-avivo

but I go to the address by ftp and successfully download sources of ati driver and i810 driver :D

Are you programmer? Are you want to join me?

 

2 jodo

 

Don't worry! I work on other way. But for now I test only my chip. As I know you have 4c66 so send me information from ioreg -l >ioreg.txt. In future I would need additional informations.

You will release source code of your work?

 

I'm a sysadmin, and sometime I build and patch some program/driver under linux, if I have a working osx driver as example, I can try to help in porting linux driver to osx.

 

I have no problem in getting driver for linux but I need a skeleton of working osx driver, and I haven't find it yet.

For sure! Here you go!

 

Quite cool that you are enthusiastic to make it! If you need someone for testing...or more info - I'm here :P

Damn! :rolleyes: Could we assume that the Apple driver for 8500 is derived from this broken driver? It would explain why for instance people with a 7500 have more success than those with a 8500-9200...

 

Is there anybody successfully use ATIRadeon8500 or it never works?

As I see you have Intel AGP bus? Strange. I have not analized this codes yet.

But for ATI AGP there are two mistakes:

1. It doesn't work with AGP@1 (as for you too)

2.

What is radeonTool you have installed?

OpenATI project is a working sceleton for OSX. Why you can't download it from sourceforge?

For now I write only testing code to trace possible errors and understand why. To write a driver we need to know why previous one is not working.

From what I know the 8500 driver never works.

As I see you have Intel AGP bus? Strange. I have not analized this codes yet.

I'm fiddling around with this stuff on a Thinkpad R50 with an i855-chipset. Actually it shows AGP in the sys profiler - could you perhaps explain the problem a little bit more? Just out of interest...

 

What is radeonTool you have installed?

To be honest: I don't know ;) It's a remainder of my efforts getting the 7500-method to work. It comes from this thread: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...p;hl=radeontool
