After a fresh install of Ubuntu, grabbing the latest openchrome trunk and making the patches listed on the P4M900 openchrome wiki page, I've got the openchrome driver, agpgart, drm, xvmc all working - which is really cool. I do get a message about the kernel being tainted - due to something I did patching drm I'm sure. glxinfo seg faults, I suspect this is due to an already reported bug in mesa. glxgears won't work either. All of the above is probably fine since I'm not trying to do anything using 3D rendering. However, the net result is in fact slower performance than the vesa driver. Scrolling firefox is jerky. Moving windows around the screen is jerky and the xorg process as reported by top will take as much as 100% CPU while a window is being moved. Of course, watching tv is impossible. With the vesa driver, scrolling in firefox and moving windows around the screen work smoothly. HDTV playback is smooth without sound and stutters with sound but the image is viewable. With openchrome, the image is typically corrupted beyond recognition. Is this expected or is it likely that I've messed something up? _______________________________________________ openchrome-users mailing list [email protected] http://wiki.openchrome.org/mailman/listinfo/openchrome-users Main page: http://www.openchrome.org Wiki: http://wiki.openchrome.org User Forum: http://wiki.openchrome.org/tikiwiki/tiki-view_forum.php?forumId=1
