Hi, I'm running Fedora rawhide with xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.11.0-3.fc11.i586 kernel-PAE-2.6.29-0.197.rc7.fc11.i686 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.0-5.fc11.i586
Under regular desktop usage I'm noticing * With compiz running, various special effects like wobbly windows have a relatively low CPU impact -- good acceleration. * glxgears is ok (getting 1800 ish on a V5200/X1400) - could be a bit better but just fine. * Some seemingly minor activity like firefox's rotating circle that appears in a tab whilst loading a page hit the CPU hard (up to 40% + on Xorg) * Another app "Personal Brain" which is relatively visual has a similar huge impact The system is a core duo " 2.16Ghz, 3Gb ram, V5200 FireGL ie R500 series with 256Mb, 3200x1600 virtual (large desktop across 2 screens) EXA acceleration is enabled From log I note - page flipping disabled, dma 4 xv enabled, color tiling enabled I have a few questions * Apart from glxgears are there any good "benchmark" apps that can be used to help check for any regressions between updates? glxgears gives a very basic working/not working, but something that's more typical of how firefox etc drives X * Is there any good way of concisely capturing the X/ati workload pattern that may assist in identifying specific impacts of that workload type as it might relate to various config parameters * Are there some obvious settings I may have missed. * Is anyone else seeing this... Given the above I might have enough to raise a bug... but currently am not sure if it's working as designed. Even if not I realise the info is far too vague.
