Hi there,
I have an AMD Radeon HD 4670 which has a r700 chipset on it.
I can't get good results neither for 2D nor for 3D performance.
I currently run the radeon xserver driver with firmware-linux installed but 2D sucks as much as 3D does.
The proprietary fglrx driver is currently not installable at all...
Does anyone has the same card and can give me hints on how to configure my system to get proper performance with this card?
Thanks in advance.

i have a radeon 4670 and i'm really happy with the performance... think a nonagon with a different hd fullscreen video on each side, spinning on a full hd 32" monitor and another old vga monitor whenever i want it in whichever config, all with a few mouse clicks.
maybe start with infobash -v3.
sounds more like you did radeon.modeset=0 and you're still running off that driver without the firmware being properly installed.
if you speak german there are a couple regulars on the german forum with the same graphics card that would help you. they helped me when they used to frequent this forum.

Hi ike,
I have the nonfree firmware installed (in version 0.27 as you have) and I have modeset=1 set for the radeon driver as well:
Code:
# cat /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf
options radeon modeset=1
Did you change anything else? I really run out of ideas.
Ah, here's my infobash output:
Code:
$ infobash -v3
Host/Kernel/OS "workstation" running Linux 2.6.36-1.slh.2-aptosid-amd64 x86_64 [ aptosid 2010-02 Κῆρες - xfce - (201009132215) ]
Videocard ATI RV730XT [Radeon HD 4670] X.Org 1.9.2 [ 1680x1050@0.0hz ]
Network cards VIA VT6102 [Rhine-II]
Processes GLX Renderer Software Rasterizer | GLX Version Yes | Client Shell | Infobash v3.34
Pleas note that I run the radeonhd driver currently which is responsible for the software rendering. SR gives me much better results than the hardware "accelerated" stuff that radeon tries to give me. |

| radeonhd is essentially dead and not compatible with kernel mode setting. It is exactly 1 year today since there was a real change to the Debian package (1.3.0-1 uploaded to experimental, 1.3.0-2 was uploaded to sid with minor changes on the 8th of January). 15th May was the last change, again minor, when 1.3.0-3 was uploaded and it's changelog points to 575226 if you really want to read a little more about the (in)sanity of using radeonhd now. |

Hi bfree,
I know that radeonhd is not developed any longer.
Anyhow, as I said it "enables" SR which works better than broken hardware acceleration for me.
If anybody has hints regarding the setup of the radeon driver I am still very interested because I can't run any 3D stuff ATM. |

Hi towo,
please find my xorg log with only xserver-xorg-video-radeon (without xserver-xorg-video-ati) installed attached. |

Nope, I'm not happy 
Installing or uninstalling xserver-xorg-video-ati has no effect btw. |

My entries in grub.cfg look like this now:
menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.36-1.slh.2-aptosid-amd64' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2

Same game as before, show your Xorg.0.log.
And btw, it's easyer for us, if you do
aptosid-paste /var/log/X0rg.0.log
and post the resulting link, instead of upload the log as archive. |

Why you remove xserver-xorg-video-ati at all?
Install it and xserver-xorg-video-radeon too. |

Bacause these both do not depend on each other.
Anyway, I will do so and reboot. |
