Thanks fot your input. I have now built a new xserver and the drm kernel modules. glxgears runs at approx 160 fps for 1280x1024x16, with mmio and agp 2x. This seems a little slow, how much is speed improved by asynchronous or synchronous DMA? Which one is preferred?
A note on the build process of the kernel modules. I had to do the following om my GNU/Debian unstable box to build the mach64.o: apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.25 (and unpack) ln -s /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.25 /usr/src/linux (optional) cp /boot/config-2.4.25-1-686 /usr/src/linux/.config (stock kernel) cd /usr/src/linux make xconfig exit immediately => include/linux/version.h is created make dep cd /usr/CVS/dri-cvs/drm/linux make LINUXDIR=/usr/src/linux cd /usr/CVS/dri-cvs/drm/linux cp gamma.o i810.o i830.o mach64.o mga.o r128.o radeon.o savage.o sis.o tdfx.o via.o /lib/modules/2.4.25-1-686/kernel/drivers/char/drm/ depmod -a A much nicer approach would be to build the kernel modules with the aid of only the kernel-headers, not the kernel source, such as when building the alsa-modules, i2c-modules or the lm-sensors-modules. Using the kernel-headers one does not have to create the version.h file, it is already there. This requires a debian directory however, and more makefile support for the build than for a stock kernel. apt-get install kernel-headers-2.4.25-1-686 apt-get install i2c-source (and unpack) cd /usr/src/modules/i2c time fakeroot ./debian/rules KSRC=/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.25-1-686 KVERS=2.4.25-1-686 KDREV=2.4.25-1 kdist_image Thanks for your efforts. Hopefully, in due time, the security problem can be solved for the mach64 and savage drivers too :( On Tue, 2004-04-27 at 03:18, Alex Deucher wrote: > --- Adam Jackson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Monday 26 April 2004 17:59, Felix Khling wrote: > > > The mach64 driver has moved to the trunk.
