Hi, The story goes on:
I very much apologize for my ignorance on kernel-package stuff. I just compiled the modules myself, and brute-force copied radeon.o into my /lib/modules. IT WORKS!!!!! No more errors, no unstabilities (well, still I cant login, I have to kill login window, login via console and then startx). However, I get 20% less acceleration than with (older?) knoppix XFree... glxgears give exactly 1kfps (0.1 before), while knoppix reports 1.2kfps. It is not disaster, but I am just ambitious: why did it all happen, and how/if could it have been avoided with normal sid xfree... and still, why is knoppix faster? thanks a lot for getting me on the right track Dominik On Tue, 18 Feb 2003, Dominik Szczerba wrote: > Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2003 16:41:32 +0100 > From: Dominik Szczerba <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [XFree86] Thinkpad A31 and Radeon Mobility 7500 > > Hi, > > Thanks a lot for hints.
