Hi Michael, I haven't tried to use this driver but from this post:
http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3130&page=3 by one of the main developers of the OSS driver it seems like it does not yet support power management but it hopefully soon will (because he has an MBP and wants better power consumption ;->). So hopefully we'll see something soon. Ludovic, thanks fo the post. How "usable" is the driver? Is it very slow or jittery (like X11 in OS X) or does it at least run smoothly for normal 2d use? thanks, Sheer On 6/28/07, Michael Gangolf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Exact. > > > > > https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11281 > > > > And the bug I reported above is now corrected.
