Compile PS3 RSX X11 and 3D Drivers on Yellow Dog Linux 5.02

Post by kingchurch »

Trying to compile the ps3 X11 driver from glaurung on Yellow Dog Linux 5.02. The kernel RSX framebuffer driver compiles and loads ok. But the user space x11 video driver checked out from the following URL doesn't compile correctly.

git clone http://mandos.homelinux.org/~glaurung/git/ps3rsx.git ./ps3rsx.01-19-2008

Basically it requires xorg-x11-server version >=1.0.99.901 while the YDL has only version 1.0.1.9. Thus the configure script failed up front. After brutal-force the configure script to take the older x11-server version, there were quite some compilation errors popped up related to header files, changed X11 SDK data structures, ..., etc. After some dirty fix of all of these, the user space driver compiles ok and the system boots into Xwindows all right with the new "ps3" RSX X11 driver configured in the X11 config file.

I haven't noticed obvious difference in the X11's behavior, not sure if the new RSX X11 driver works properly. The following is the X11 log:

Does this look correct ? Is there any graphics benchmark we can try to see the difference in performance ?

The following is my quick and dirty patch to make the RSX user space X11 driver compile on YDL5.02 (xorg-x11-server 1.0.1-9). Sorry for the ugliness of the code, still, any comments are welcomed.

I switched to using it on Fedora 7 but didn't note any performance improvements. I thought there was an improvement because of installing xcompmgr (smoother window movement, drop shadows, etc) but it turns out you can install that WITHOUT ps3rsx.

I thought about switching to FC8 too, but gave up the idea cause my download session of the 4GB FC8 DVD broken at about 800MB. Figured it might be easy to hack YDL to do it to avoid re-installation hassle. After the patch I attached in the earlier email, the RSX FB kernel module and x11 driver seem work ok with the stock Gusty 2.6.23 kernel. BTW, I feel that after upgrading kernel from the YDL 2.6.23-wifi kernel to the stock Gusty's kernel and patch in Gaurung/IronPeter's kernel RSX/FB patch, the X11 speed seems to be faster than earlier's RSX x11 driver on top of YDL 2.6.23-wifi kernel. I plan to try some "transulent mplayer" test later to see if there is any performance difference between the RSX FB driver and standard FB driver.

Also I went on and compiled in IronPeter/Gaurung's 3D/FB kernel patch with the 2.6.23 kernel. After the patch and reboot into Text mode, I was able to launch two of IronPeter's RSX samples. They are very simple, just would like to list what I saw here to confirm if they worked correctly:

1) Simple_dct Sample
A Monstar's 2D image was shown with a blue background

2) simple_trananble Sample
A few triangle shapes overlapped with each other with different degrees of rotations. The background is orange.

I tried 480i/480p/720p/1080i, no big difference in the result. Can someone confirm if this is the expected results ?

Also tried "theOtherOS Demo" with the nice smily worm running from "kboot" as a standalone ELF. Very nice! Marcus! Anyone has done a port of the Demo to Linux environment using IronPeter's RSX API already ?

Thanks
