State of radeon driver

I have installed xfree86 4.4.0 rc1 on my laptop (an acer 1455LMi_ATI, with an AMD 600+cou, 512MB ram, and rdeon 9200 graphics). I am getting about 1000FPS on glxgears. I would expect more. Also there are some glitches( hesitations, and uneven display). What is the state of the driver? Is

Are these patches included in the snapshot 4.4.0rc1 aka 4.3.99.901 and what should they do if you set the option. Tom Corner On 17-Nov-2003 Alex Deucher wrote: The patch available below adds dynamic power management support (dynamic clock scaling) to the radeon driver. It is based on code I've

I've got my new machine with the Radeon 9200. I want to try and setup the hardware 3D support for it. I am going to build the latest development snapshot and or the CVS and try to set it up. How stable are these? Do you have any tips or suggestions on the building or configuration? Is there an

I have tried everything. I have kernel 2.6.0test10 with radeon module(radeon.ko). I am running on an Acer 1355LMi_ATI laptop with a Radeon mobility 9200. I have loaded glx and dri in XF86Config. I have radeon selected as device. When this didn't work I went to the dri wiki web site and loaded

You found that quickly. I don't know what the chipset is. How can I figure that out? I am researching the kernel. Their ads sayit has a via chipset. So I tried tust the via-agp module and got the same problem. I looked again and the mother board should have a Via ProSavage KN400 chipset. I

It always works if you watch it close enough. Actually I changed kernel to the 2.6.0-test11 that just came out. I kept the old configuration except I compiled agpgart as a module instead of being built into the kernel. now glxinfo says it's doing direct rendering!! glxgears gives about 1000 FPS

Thanks. I don't get to test it until the laptop with radeon mobility 9200 comes next week. I understand the 9200 is the same as the 9000 except that the agp is 8x instead of 4x. Can I specify agp 8x to take advantage of the higher speed? Thanks again, Tom Corner On 19-Nov-2003 Alex Deucher
