here comes some [surprising?] news
ati cards can do 3d with xorg 1.10 and kde4
I have the same ports versions as Warren provided earlier, everything
according to xorg-server 1.10 from actual ports tree with WITH_NEW_XORG
in make.conf
after playing with xorg settings, from glxinfo I saw some times instead
of Rasterizing:
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
was motivated me to recompile ligBL, libdrm and dri one-by-one
surprisingly I got then
OpenGL renderer string:
Mesa DRI R600 (RV610 94C3) x86/MMX+/3DNow!+/SSE2 TCL
even if all dependencies were ok before and pkg_libchk did report
nothing wrong, something must have been wrong
but then I got the same mess on another machine, my eventual fast
conclusion is that libGL and lidrm must be compiled after xorg-server
upgrade
anyway ... so now I have 3D?
but not quite
after trying several xorg.conf settings, with recommended settings and
no xorg.conf at all, I ever saw this
[ 14699.367] (II) LoadModule: "glx"
[ 14699.368] (II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
[ 14699.371] (II) Module glx: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
[ 14699.371] compiled for 1.10.6, module version = 1.0.0
[ 14699.371] ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 5.0
[ 14699.371] (==) AIGLX disabled
[ 14699.371] (II) Loading extension GLX
after some tries I configured this in xorg
Section "Device"
Identifier "CARTAO"
Driver "radeon"
Option "Monitor-VGA-0" "LEFT"
Option "Monitor-DVI-0" "RIGHT"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "DHEAD"
Screen "VGA-Left"
Screen "RIGHT" RightOf "LEFT"
Option "AIGLX" "on"
EndSection
no section for modules, no extension and flags and I now get this
[ 37.140] (II) LoadModule: "glx"
[ 37.141] (II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
[ 37.162] (II) Module glx: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
[ 37.162] compiled for 1.10.6, module version = 1.0.0
[ 37.162] ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 5.0
[ 37.350] (**) AIGLX enabled
even is it not relevant but as test, it runs perfect and stable the cube
... in all directions over both monitors, nice :)
I still had a minor setback, xorg crashed always when a modal window
"glided" in
first I thought no problem, I can do without, then I saw it on another
machine working flawless
after removing the whole ~/.kde4 which came from kde4.7 I got it stable
on my login
some test on other machines showed that there also the problem existed,
so who upgraded from kde4.7 to 4.8 could have some crap leftover in
~/.kde4 which cause xorg to crash
I hope this can be helpfull for somebody somewhere ...
