[Bug 534662] [NEW] No hardware acceleration on ATI Radeon 3560 HD using 'radeon' driver

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-radeon

On Lucid Lynx, after few updates I completely lost graphics hardware
acceleration. As fglrx won't work with new xorg, I use radeon driver (my
card is ATI Radeon 3560 HD). I used to have perfect 3d graphic, compiz
and games used to work smoothly, but from some time I can't use any of
them, when I lunch a game it consumes 100% cpu and lags a lot, and when
I start compiz, it says

compiz (core) - Fatal: Software rendering detected.
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

so my guess is that the radeon driver is not providing me with 3d hardware acceleration.
=================================
I don't know if it is a significant tip, but I found out that use-count of module 'radeon' is 0, as lsmod shows.

Module                  Size  Used by
radeon                738407  0 
ttm                    60847  1 radeon
drm_kms_helper         30742  1 radeon
drm                   198930  3 radeon,ttm,drm_kms_helper
i2c_algo_bit            6024  1 radeon
...
================================

I have no idea on what can be wrong. Maybe the problem is somewhere in
my configuration (but I doubt it), maybe it's a bug in radeon driver, or
maybe it's a bug somewhere else.

I hope debug info I provide will be useful.
