[9fans] state of the mirrors

2009-06-01 Thread Jano
I have had quite some bad experience recently with the 9p sources mirrors. I have tried kix.in, which i know ised to be more stable than bell-labs, but my attempts to mount it via 9p have all failed. Also, the only other mirror i have found to be able to mount was sources.lsub.org, i modified the

a coraid employee noticed the following odd behavior from nedmail Do you think it's intentional that h doesn't move dot in nedmail? For example, I can do 3s foo, and dot moves to 3. Then I can say d to delete message 3. If I say 3h, though, I can't just use d to delete message 3. The h

Now, how do I test, benchmark and, or profile this radeon driver against a generic one? IIRC, there was a port of some of xscreensaver's hacks to Plan 9. The munch hack and hyperglenda should get a good bit faster. They might have something to measure resulting fps-es. Also, watch the CPU load

As I understand, the sb600 series has the RS480 IGP, which is a stripped-down r300 (missing some TnL h/w, vertex shaders). The 2D parts of the Linux radeonfb look pretty similar between the r300 and the rs480, so I'd go with yes. No idea about anything newer... I can take a look if people are
