Fortunately, I can't do that comparison here, but it's pretty fast, even with a window that covers the whole screen. Does the lack of perfect smoothness bother you? Note that the window manager can make a huge difference there, e.g. sawfish was much worse than metacity here. > -dual headed, no xinerama (better than bug-eyed xinerama) > -xv working > -dri working (Only in 16bit, one-headed and while root) > > All this by building from CVS, with the help of one Andrew > Atrens(thanks!) > > But of course I'm not satisfied with this: > > > (WW) RADEON(0): Direct Rendering Disabled -- Dual-head > configuration > > is not working with DRI at present. > > Please use only one Device/Screen section in your XFConfig file.

It does say 'dualhead', not 'Xinerama', for a reason. The 3D driver has absolutely no notion of a shared entity yet. What should work would be implementing dualhead with a single framebuffer on top of the CloneDisplay support in current CVS. > Why is drm access restricted to root, and how do I go about changing > it?

Probably, see http://www.xfree86.org/current/DRI6.html#10 > And what gives with the 16bit(and 32bit, haven't checked) only support? Radeons can only render 3D primitives in depth 16 and depth 24, fbbpp 32. Depending on the desktop resolution and the available video RAM, the DRI may only be enabled in depth 16. -- 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
