Hello,
I've just gotten around to installing RedHat 7.2 on a new machine. I'm
using my Voodoo 5 5500 PCI as the primary display adapter on this
machine. Performance is terrible. Running a few games, I'm getting
around 15-18fps... screen redraw / etc, is extremely slow & full of
artifacts. Until yesterday, had the card running under Windows 2000 &
it worked perfectly (so I don't think it's a hardware issue).
Was wondering if any of you were using the voodoo 5 under X (I'm using
4.1.0) and had any luck with it?
One thing to note, I am using Xinerama for dual display (my secondary
display is an ATI Xpert 2000 AGP (rage 128)), however I don't think
that's the cause of the problem as performance still stinks when I
disable the secondary display.
Currently use KDE, but have noticed the same problems under Gnome
(sawfish). Video board is using bios 1.18 (as it has for some time now
under windows).
I'm running @ 1280x1024, 24bits on both displays at the moment. Have
tried knocking it down to 800x600, 16 bits with no improvement.
Here's my X configuration:
