Ups, I got lost. So do we drop idea of using xf86-video-modesetting for SI? I though we want to use xf86-video-modesetting and some Gallium state tracker for 2D acceleration. What's the difference between handling 2D acceleration in: 1) xf86-video-ati 2) xf86-video-modesetting + X/Gallium? Also one question for below: > Defaults to shadowfb. 3D acceleration is available with glamor. 2D > acceleration is disabled until the radeonsi driver can handle glamor's > shaders. Could you explain what is glamor? I was sure it is supposed to provide 2D acceleration using OpenGL. What do you mean by providing 3D acceleration with glamor? -- Rafał _______________________________________________ xorg-driver-ati mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
