When I get a half-black/half-white screen and a mouse cursor which responds to mouse movements, as I move the cursor it changes as if it's hovering over icons, text fields, etc. Thanks again, hope I've helped a bit -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So yes, I confirm a drastic degradation of the graphics performance since 11.1. I guess we'll have to wait for 11.3 to see some stable r600/r700 support. Fortunately, I still have my old Radeon 9600 which demonstrates excellent 2d/3d performance using default radeon driver, though, surprisingly, kwin is too slow with effects enabled. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I've commented out this code (to make libpciacess fall back to mtrr settings) and came up with the following results for x11perf -copywinwin500: with mtrr: 1.0288 msec ( 972.0/sec) mapping the wc resource range: 1.0622 msec ( 941.0/sec) The difference is not earth shaking and certainly does not explain the performance degradation in 11.2 but it's still interesting. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

BTW - are you testing both cards in the same machine? Are both AGP, or is one PCI? If both are AGP and tested in the same machine, this is getting really weird. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
