Perhaps this 15 January update applies to your situation?

The radeon Xorg driver should still be giving him acceleration.
bamdad, show us your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file. |
|
||||
it should, however removing the xorg.conf produces the same results.
here's my generated xorg.conf (Xorg sait configuration failed, but still spat it out): http://pastebin.com/kqZ2MHKF here's the log file: http://pastebin.com/RVUrzMLv here's the xorg.conf after i tried making some sense of it and editing it: http://pastebin.com/nk0mgDBW sadly, if i use the latter xorg.conf file, all i get is a blank screen instead of xdm. i suspect the problem is elsewhere, since it should work fine even without a config file. |
|

Try using this xorg.conf file: http://pastebin.com/VLx7nQNB
Run 'startx' and, if it doesn't work, grab the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file that is generated and show us that. Adam |

thanks, i did, and X starts as it should, but everything is still just as choppy as it was without a config file.
here's the log: http://pastebin.com/XX5NkJJx interesting, it says it's loading the aperture driver, glx extensions, the radeon module and still it's as slow as vesa. |
|
|||
Hmmm, direct rendering is not getting enabled. What's your 'dmesg' look like?
|
|
||||
here it is: http://pastebin.com/61AZXxMa
|
|
|||
Well the kernel is certainly enabling direct rendering. Have you tried using this xorg.conf from a clean reboot?

|
|||
Does it make a difference if you change the 'radeon' driver to 'radeonold' in the xorg.conf file?
|
|
|||
Well I highly recommend you report this to the OpenBSD folks via the mailing lists. This is clearly a regression.
I just installed OpenBSD 5.1 last night and Xorg works properly with my x1900, acceleration and all. I'll have to try my HD4350 when I get home. Adam |
|

Another option is to hang out in #radeon on the Freenode IRC network and look for oga. He's the OpenBSD DRM maintainer and pops in periodically.

The sendbug(1) utility provides a helpful fill-in-the-blanks form to ensure key information is captured, and it will automatically include some system information. You'll still need to add applicable Xorg logs.
Note that the bug tracking database is currently shut down. If you prepare a formal problem report with sendbug you will want to submit it to the bugs@ mailing list. An informal problem report can be sent to misc@. There, you may find others with the same hardware who may be able to confirm your problem, or perhaps provide additional information. Whichever route you choose, you will find both http://www.openbsd.org/mail.html and http://www.openbsd.org/report.html helpful. |

Unfortunately I did not get a chance to test my HD4350 last night. Hopefully this afternoon (about 8 hours).
To be fair, though, even if it works with my HD4350, that does't tell us much. Different models, even in the same generation, can have significant differences, especially when comparing mobile vs. desktop versions. Adam |
