Please test 1.7.0-3 in testing repo with glamor acceleration enabled.

and it should not work with xorg-server>1.12

xf86-video-ati with Xorg from testing works fine for me but glamor-egl package seems broken

everything works fine if I build glamor from this PKGBUILD: https://gist.github.com/5128263
Comment by Laurent Carlier (lordheavy) - Sunday, 10 March 2013, 11:54 GMT
hmm correct the proper config line for glamor is:
sh autogen.sh \
--prefix=/usr \
--with-xorg-conf-dir=/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
Comment by Laurent Carlier (lordheavy) - Sunday, 10 March 2013, 11:55 GMT
no needs for a glamor.conf file in ld.so.conf!
Comment by Alex (aion) - Sunday, 10 March 2013, 12:09 GMT
Here my working PKGBUILD for glamor-egl
ld.so.conf hack seems necessary for workaround issue with xorg-server>1.12
   PKGBUILD (2 KiB)

Why should that ld.so.conf hack be required? All other Xorg libraries are loaded well from there.
Comment by Alex (aion) - Sunday, 10 March 2013, 14:18 GMT
Here my log without ld.so.conf hack.
   Xorg.0.log (6.2 KiB)

If I understand correct hack just force loading glamoregl module before glx module.
Here my log with hack enabled.
   Xorg.0.log.good (40.4 KiB)

Alex, can you please talk to the Xorg devs (Dave Airlie) on IRC or bring it to the Xorg-devel list if this is expected behavior and distro should workaround it with ld.so.conf.d or if it is a bug.

Asked in Xorg-devel list:

I'm implementing this ld.so.conf hack to get glamor working at all into glamor-egl 0.5.0-2.

But this should be fixed upstream in a proper way. I'll keep this open for now.

For now after Chris statement I see no need to also build the intel driver with glamor support enabled.
Comment by Laurent Carlier (lordheavy) - Tuesday, 12 March 2013, 18:40 GMT
seems wise. Glamor is only useful for radeonsi to get 2d acceleration.
Comment by Armin K. (Krejzi) - Tuesday, 12 March 2013, 19:42 GMT
Can you test with this patch? On my system libglamoregl.so appears to properly link with libglamor.so when patch is used.

@ Armin, it helps, xorg starting ok and 3d working.

Submitted a patch http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/glamor/2013-March/000304.html

Question: According to the Radeon feature wiki, glamor should work in previous ati gpus too. I am on the r600g driver, and when i enable glamor as Accelmethod x doesn't show up (even with pkgrel 2 of glamor). Am i missing something?
Comment by Armin K. (Krejzi) - Monday, 18 March 2013, 13:34 GMT
My revised patches series are now upstream. Please add them to git-fixes.patch

You want

61879504f86c5cb326cc06a5873283234cfbbcd2
f2d7f1cf351bdc3a8a00fe564cd6a937db3b4e19
81aadb8ae204f58d77a948c8624f1e72659dcdf0

First one contains some fixes from AMD developer, second one makes libglamor.so versioned library installed in /usr/lib (no ld.so.conf entry needed) and third one disables static libraries properly. There are two more, but are not important unless you want to create a tarball using "make dist".

Thanks. Applied all git commits. Can we now close this one as "implemented"?
Comment by Alex (aion) - Monday, 18 March 2013, 18:37 GMT
Works like charm for me. Thanks a lot Armin, Andreas, Laurent.
