PS3 defconfig changes... !!!!

XDR memory used by PS3 FB's driver is reduced from 18 MB to 9 MB.
Update, the ps3rsx kernel module still works (assuming the output I am pasting here is the correct output we should be seeing):
| Code: | ps3rsx: PS3 RSX access module, 1.0.0

@Panajev2001a, the kernel module output looks good. I have the same here except for the RSX revision (11), I guess my hardware is older (european 60GB version). The new ps3fb reserved size should not be an issue, I'm using 1920*1080*2 bytes for Xv at most and the rest for upload/download to/from screen, so 9MB should still be enough. Let us know if you can confirm this. I don't know if the 3D demos use the XDR extensively.
To use the accelerated driver, you have to change xorg.conf from:
to
Also, adding the following section is recommended (enable Composite):
| Code: |
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
|
Finally, installing with ./configure, make, make install, will put the driver in /usr/local, so you have to create a link to it in /usr for Xorg to find it:
| Code: |
ln -s /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ps3_drv.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ps3_drv.so
|
@mickfromperth, I glad to hear the new kernel module fixed your display issue. Concerning xine, I've tested it here and it seems it won't use xv because the driver (and RSX hardware) does not support YV12 (only YUYV). Conversion between those two formats is relatively straightforward so adding support for YV12 should not be a problem. However, it should be the application responsibility to do it, not the driver.. Anyway, I'll have a look at it eventually. Video data is copied to ioif region anyway, so converting to YV12 on-the-fly should not impact performance much. X11 (Shm) video output will not be accelerated compared to fbdev, since the conversion from YUV to RGB and the scaling is done by the application (xine here).
Compiz will not work. It needs Composite, but it also needs GLX, which we don't have yet (and will require huge amount of work to get). Compiz is one composite manager, but there are others. In particular there is xcompmgr which provides translucency (using the transset application) and can add fade in/out effect and drop shadow effect to the windows. Composite is about alpha blending, not 3D.
Thanks for your feedback, it is useful indeed.
If there are people using stock distribution kernels and have packaging skills, a nice contribution would be a .rpm or .deb of the kernel module for all other users of the same distribution out there. |

Thanks for your reply Glaurung, strangely enough I own a launch PAL PS3 (60 GB model) too... strange hat we have so different RSX revision but plausible :).
I am glad the new reserved size is not an issue for RSX usage: so that everyone can enjoy it (people who want to use RSX and people who do not: they all enjoy 9 MB of more RAM available for Linux :)).
I'll be using your kernel module and Xorg drivers from now on so if something pops up on my end I'll report it asap.
Update: I did not use the symbolic link method, instead I re-run ./configure --prefix=/usr and then make clean; make; make install :).

Glaurung,
Ok the module loads, GNOME and Xorg started using the ps3 driver in xorg.conf and the ps3gpu application works although I see a kind of set of white lines on the top-right of the screen... I guess I'll have to take a picture of it or someone can show me the "proper" output :).
What changed with your kernel module (have you been using the very latest ps3fb.c code to build it ?) is that it kinda plays around with the placement of the screen and/or the black borders around the picture... I guess I have to change the values of fbset accordingly before the kernel module is loaded to get a properly centered picture on my tv. |

Hi Glaurung. I've raised the YV12 issue with xine-devel. I'll let you know how that pans out.
Either way, would spu-media-lib be a better place for this type of activity (using the spu's instead of CPU?)?

I might be able to write a gentoo ebuild this weekend if anyone is interested in that. I want to check out the module anyway, and since my gentoo installation is completely clean atm writing an ebuild should be a piece of cake if I just document every single step I have to take manually to install the module.
I'm not sure how easy it would be to get it accepted into portage, but my guess is that getting it added as a masked ebuild should be no problem |

OK. I've done some basic research. Xine "calls" it's YUYV YUY2. But they are one in the same. This I take from the following url:
---
http://www.fourcc.org/yuv.php
---
Xinelib has a "xine-utils" package which includes a file called color.c. Inside color.c are the following conversions:
---
void (*yuv444_to_yuy2)
void (*yuv9_to_yv12)
void (*yuv411_to_yv12)
void (*yv12_to_yuy2)
void (*yuy2_to_yv12)
---
So it *should* not be having any issues converting to required format.. Any advice on what further tests I can run?

Hello,
I am very much of a novice about kernel building and the various graphics-related topics here but have been very intrigued by the possibility of an accelerated Xorg, which would make a nearly unusable system at least tolerable. I originally was using YDL (hopeless for these cutting edge hacks) and recently installed Fedora 7. I have two questions - any help is much appreciated:
I installed Glaurung's two git repositories and was able to get the Xorg driver to build. I added a modified xorg.conf.ps3 according to his directions and when I run the ps3X script it crashes at a point where ps3_gpu is trying to read /dev/fb1. I discovered that I don't have a /dev/fb1 and tried to install one using mknod /dev/fb1 c 29 32. I still got the same error.
On the ps3rsx front, I tried the build script and it failed with:
/lib/modules/2.6.21-1.3194.fc7/build: No such file or directory.
I found there is a broken link to this build script, probably due to not having the kernel headers installed. I installed the headers and still can't find the build script.
Sorry for the length of this request, but I feel that I am close to having it work and would be very thankful for any help.

It's very straight forward, Just install the kernel sources (sudo apt-get install linux-kernel-devel)
and the xorg sources,
You also need the xorg driver development pack - (sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-dev)
after you install both of these, it should be a matter of just entering the ps3rsx library, run make or ./load.sh
And then enter the xorg ps3 driver library, write ./configure then make ; make install.
finally you create a symbolic link to the driver described by glarung in an earlier post, rest of the info can be found in this thread.
good luck. |

hey i have installed the packages xserver-xorg-dev and linux-kernel-devel.then i typed in terminal:
git clone http://mandos.homelinux.org/~glaurung/git/ps3rsx.git
git clone http://mandos.homelinux.org/~glaurung/git/xf86-video-ps3.git
but after that i don´t know what to do.at first a typed as you above-mentioned make or ./load.sh but it only says that the file is not found.i don´t know how to compile a linux kernel so could you or anybody else post a tutorial on how to compile a custom kernel with ps3rsx or post a deb file for ubuntu 7.10? |

In order to build the kernel module on Ubuntu :
You have to unpack the kernel sources in /usr/src/
Then, you have to copy the kernel config from /boot in the untared sources and start a make.
Then you can build the kernel module and follow the guide mentioned in this thread.
For the xorg part, you also need to install x11-proto (video, fonts, etc...) devel stuff otherwise it won't build.
I'll try to build a debian package for the kernel module and another one for the X11 driver.
It works really great for me. And if you like eye candy stuff but low memory consumption, you should use Xfce4 :)

Hi guys,
I've been following the RSX module development but as I don't own a PS3 I can't test it. So, I'm sorry if I interrupt you but I'd like to know what is now possible to do under linux that couldn't be done without this module.
One question: do we still need the mplayer VO to play HD video under linux or does the RSX module handle it?
Excuse me for my quite bad english but i'm not english nor american ;)
Bye bye |

My first ubuntu package is available here :
http://www.choeursdaromes.com/ps3rsx-1.0-1.deb
This will install the kernel module for 2.6.22-14-cell & the Xorg 7.2 driver.
You still have to modify your xorg.conf.
The package adds a line to /etc/modules
Regards
PS: Glaurung & IronPeter, great job! |

Ok, there's at least 1 person interested so I'll have a go at it tomorrow, should be a piece of cake, though I know absolutely nothing about Python ;) |

A gentoo ebuild would be GREAT! even if it's not accepted into portage. |
Ok, there's at least 1 person interested so I'll have a go at it tomorrow, should be a piece of cake, though I know absolutely nothing about Python ;) |
Make that 2, just finished installing Gentoo onto my PS3. |

Xinelib has a "xine-utils" package which includes a file called color.c. Inside color.c are the following conversions:
---
void (*yuv444_to_yuy2)
void (*yuv9_to_yv12)
void (*yuv411_to_yv12)
void (*yv12_to_yuy2)
void (*yuy2_to_yv12)
---
So it *should* not be having any issues converting to required format.. Any advice on what further tests I can run?

I've did some hacking in xine last night. What I did was hack out the xv capabilities check. Hopeing that the module already had the inteligants to do color conversion. End Result: xine's xv driver doesn't currently have the capability to do color conversion although xine has the tools ready to use.
I'm afraid i've hit the limit of my development skills ;-). Anyone who can code and is willing to patch xine I'd be more than willing to help test the code ;-). |

A couple questions with this package. So basically all you have to do is install this package on psubuntu's Gusty Gibbon and modify xorg.conf and it will work without having to compile a different kernel or anything?
Also are the changes to xorg.conf as follows:
to
And add
| Code: |
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection

Thanks. |

I'm a xine user. I'm stuck with xine because it does two things I need: a head end to vdr; and a head end to dvbstreamer.
When I run xine with vo driver of Xv, it crashes X.
When I run xine with a vo driver of X11 it works. But.. it "feels" like performance is not *that* much better than the fb driver..

I don't own a PS3, but I've been very interested in this thread for the last few weeks.. especially now that xine was mentioned. I also use xine, but more often I use mythtv (because my wife doesn't know how to use a command line). My primary interest is in using a PS3 as a replacement for my current mythtv frontend, and as I understand it, if this hack can give enough advantage over framebuffer-only, it *might* mean enough speed to run 25fps+ playback of 1080p video.
Can anyone confirm whether this new hack allows at least 25fps video playback at 1080p resolution (particularly if using mythtv frontend connected via network to mythtv backend w/ATSC[high-def] tuner cards)?

P.S. Great work!! This is incredibly cool! |

installed the deb and edited the xorg.conf as instructed on ubuntu 7.10
succeeded in getting a black screen on boot
oh well, needed an excuse to reformat anyway. Think i'll wait for a step by step install guide before trying again |

It's working for me with a clean 7.10.
Perhaps, it would be better to open a new post for binary release issues and keep this one for devs.
Thank you for your work Glaurung & IronPeter! |

Can you boot in single user and try to load the kernel module?
Have you looked at your xorg logs? Do you have any errors?
Normally, the installer verifies your kernel version and xorg version...

i had the same problem the other day, i've compiled the module and it worked fine next i moved my ps3 on an hd tv and it didn't work anymore, after many reboot i've found that i was using the ps3rsx module installed with the kernel, so you have to be sure to run the right kernel for this module or compile it yourself, the module seems to be for 2.6.22-14-cell, to find out what kernel are you using type uname -r |

| How should you edit your xorg.conf with the .deb? |
