Tiny Core 7.2 fglrx Ati driver HELP

[nitro_menace]

I am currently using the xf86-video-ati.tcz driver. I would like to use the ATI propriety driver. I have ATI integrated graphics on board (Radeon HD R5E) with an AMD Embedded G-Series chipset. I am try to run a 3d application called openscene graph and need an fps boost. If any one has any other ideas please let me know.The application is constantly using 100% of the first core on my cpu and i would like to offload it onto my GPU.

AMD has abandoned the proprietary driver, focusing on newer cards; while it may work, you can't expect updates really.

That's also a very low-end card, so the fps boost you can expect from the binary driver is very small. Make sure first that you have the open driver properly running (glxinfo, etc).

Hello I manged to compile an old FGLRX module and get it to run it boosted fps by about 5/10 and had aticonfig application to reduce or increase quality. It was one of the later 14.* drivers. It was easy to compile however i could not compile it into a tcz. But eventually managed to backup the system folder paths in a way it would load cortrectly on a reboot

Hi nitro_menace,
Maybe you would like to have a look at http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:creating_extensions

It might be possible that you can use the new amdgpu or amdgpu-pro driver.

radeon (xf86-video-ati) is the open source driver for older AMD GPUs. amdgpu (xf86-video-amdgpu) is the new open source driver for new AMD GPUs.

The old proprietary fglrx driver is deprecated. It's successor is amdgpu-pro. amdgpu-pro is a proprietary extension to amdgpu.

However, without enabling it in the Kernel, amdgpu by default is supposed to be run only on AMD GCN (Graphics Core Next) 1.2 GPUs.

But: When enabling it in the Kernel, amdgpu can also be used on GCN 1.0 and GCN 1.1 GPUs. The Gentoo Wiki explains how to do this: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/AMDGPU#Kernel

Now, the question is: Is the Radeon HD R5E that you mentioned a GCN 1.0/1.1/1.2 GPU? The Gentoo Wiki explains how to check this: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/AMDGPU#Hardware_detection

Which chipset name do you get when looking it up using lspci?
