[XFree86] mem issues with G450 mga and matroxfb

2003-08-27 Thread Ed Sweetman
I'm aware that the accel features of matroxfb (ala 2.5/2.6) can only take advantage of the lower 16MB of a 32MB G450 card. My question revolves around the fact that fbset -i tells me my card has 16MB even though dmesg reports the driver detecting 32MB like it should. I hacked mga_vid

I'm fairly sure i've pushed XFree86 as far as i can without reprogramming anything for 2d performance. I've compiled all of X with -march=athlon-tbird -O2 -mmmx -m3dnow -ftracer using modified flag variables in my host.conf as well as profile compiling which i had X up doing my thing for over a

I've looked everywhere on my system that could be setting the priority of X to -1 and i cant find any scripts that do it. So i assume that the X server, itself, is setting the priority to -1. I am running the cvs pull of X on 2.6.0-test11 on a debian unstable system. I would really

I ran across a little oddity while working on the matrox driver. In MGAPutImage, the ScreenInfoPtr sent to it which is then converted to a MGAPtr does not have drmCtx set to a non-zero value even though dri is enabled and working at the time the function is called. I do not understand why

I am only able to start X with fbpp at 24 if I want depth to be 32. Setting both to 32 will not work. it gets the error reported in the 32bpp.logBut yea, I dont care about 3d so this seems alright. On Tue, 2002-07-09 at 04:54, Dr Andrew C Aitchison wrote: On 9 Jul 2002, Ed Sweetman
