Maybe DGA isn't broken but 2D acceleration with DRI enabled. One way to work around the problem would be to run two servers, one with DRI enabled and another one without for VMware. > > * glxgears performance is limited to approx. 500 fps ; this seems rather > > below par to me, wrt. to benchmarks of equivalent Radeon desktop models > > (700-1000 fps). glxgears isn't really a meaningful benchmark, 4.2.0 was slower than the current DRI drivers, and Mobility chips are slower than desktop chips. > > / Using Xree86 20020829 : > > > > * same screen corruption as with stock XFree 4.2 ; Can you try again with a 20020906 or later snapshot?

That was a known problem with chips without a TCL unit. It's been fixed for VEs at least, we're still looking for feedback with an M6. Again, please try a current DRI snapshot and post your experience to the dri-devel list. -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
