I cannot quite see how 16 bpp equals speed - colors need to be downmapped into 16 bits instead of being directly copied as-is under 24. The odd thing is, why on earth does DRI/DRM decide that it can use more bytes for the heap on lower bpp. 16bpp: (II) CHROME(0): [drm] Using 22801376 bytes for DRM memory heap. 24bpp: (II) CHROME(0): [drm] Using 14015456 bytes for DRM memory heap. Also, with 16bpp, the "heap could be too small" message disappears. I don't get these VIA chips' behavior at all. (The K8M890 even runs faster with xorg's vesa.) _______________________________________________ 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
