Okay. That means that this is the same as bug #4797. Since this is a kernel problem, it isn't fixed by Xorg 7.0. Dave Airlie: Can we get those DRM changes pushed into 2.6.15 or is it too late for that? > However the cogs turning when glxgears are running are VERY slow a lot slower > than I am used to and the 241FPS is slightly down on 311FPs that I used to > get (but why are the cogs moving so slowly as if direct rendering is turned > off). Around the middle of last year I changed the way the MGA DRM waits for commands to complete. The new method makes gears run a little slower, but it doesn't seem to impact real applications (e.g., Quake3 or viewperf). Gears is not a good benchmark. > Remove 'Option "OldDmaInit" "true"' and drm is disabled again. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDu+/yX1gOwKyEAw8RAs8RAKCeGRE75S7HwJJAIqX4hNqyjz0rHACfadlp OAJGtNiGWr7JeuJCK4C8yfk= =HvoB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
