OTOH, on my intel machine some of the screensavers appear to run very slowly (never managed to identify _which_ of them, but *not* the GL_ savers that gave me a perms problem on my radeons until I changed a udev rule : yes, I'm in the video group but for some reason the r600 drivers don't load unless everyone can use /dev/dri, and on the radeons there is no fallback so the message remains on screen). On intel the tiny message flashes up, then one of the sw rasterizers starts up and runs slowly - so, I'll be adding llvm in my next intel builds (once development for 7.5 has started and I have things to test or review). ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
