Hi all. I've brought an old r200 card out of retirement to bring some bling to my work desktop. I was running xserver-1.5.something with an integrated nvidia card. I did an upgrade to xserver-1.6, mesa-7.4-rc1 and xf86-video-radeon-6.12.0.
I don't have any figures for previous software on this hardware, but I can say that back when I was using this card at home on my old server, it used to *fly* - particularly after the exa-zero-copy-tfp landed. I certainly didn't get jumpiness or pauses like I'm getting now. So anyway, I'm running ecomorph ( compiz port for E17 ), and most of the effects are very slow and jumpy. I did a quick sysprof test while switching desktops, and it looks like it's all in memcpy: miClearToBackground 0.00 77.45 miPaintWindow 0.00 77.45 ValidateGC 0.00 77.45 In file /usr/bin/Xorg 0.00 77.45 In file /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libexa.so 0.00 77.45 exaPrepareAccessGC 0.00 77.45 exaPrepareAccess 0.00 77.45 exaPrepareAccessReg 0.00 77.45 exaDoMigration 0.00 77.45 In file /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libexa.so 0.00 77.45 memcpy 77.45 77.45 Full sysprof output: http://entropy.homelinux.org/r200_exa.sysprof X log: http://entropy.homelinux.org/Xorg.0.log I can do more extensive testing later. I suppose next is to actually go back to an earlier xserver and test, right?
