Hi I have been testing the cvs version of xfree86 cvs from the 1. nov. The whole system is a little bleeding edge and i have some minor problems, but in the whole it looks good (I havent had time to test newer features as RandR).
My hardware is a nforce2 mb, radeon 9200 pci (the agp card is broken) under Debian unstable running linux 2.6.0-test11. I had been forced to use the new cvs version because i wanted to use the digital output and this is only supported by the newer drivers. The things working are not so interesting for this post so i'll focus on the things not working properly: 1. sometimes all signals of the gfx-card go missing. The screen turns black. One time it was possible to revive the output by pressing str-alt-f1 and then str-alt-f7 eg. switching to the console and back. I havent figured out yet if this is a whole lockup or just the xserver. This happend not to often so have not to much info about it. 2. when using to input devices and having to layout sections with two x servers running, the second evdev, the second evdev can't be initiated. (Sorry forget to write down the error msg, but i can reproduce it if there is any interest). The input device sections look like this: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard 1" Driver "evdev" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2" ... Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard 0" Driver "keyboard" Driver "evdev" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "de" Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" EndSection It is probably worth mentioning that the special keys are not working (alt, strg, function keys) with this configuration. The mouse-devices are working flawless. 3. glxinfo shows that dri is working: name of display: :0.0 display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: Yes server glx vendor string: SGI server glx version string: 1.2 ... OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc. OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R200 20030328 x86/MMX+/3DNow!+ TCL OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 5.0.2 ... OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc. OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R200 20030328 x86/MMX+/3DNow!+ TCL OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 5.0.2 ... but the performance is *really* bad: 41 frames in 5.0 seconds = 8.200 FPS tells glxgears. 4. the window painting seems somehow slow, but this could also be to working on a pci device. Hope this feedback is valuable.
