Hi all, first of all thanks for the great work on the driver. Without it I would be hardly able to use my notebook for my daily work. System: IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad T60p Mobility FireGL V5200 1600x1200 LCD Panel Ubuntu 8.04/hardy X.Org X Server 1.4.0.90 libxaa 1.2.0 libexa 2.2.0 Hardy radeonhd package: 1.1.0-1 Luc Verhaegen wrote:
While this will allow most R5xx users to already move away from shadowFB, it is still not as fast as it could be :) For instance, EXA doesn't have accelerated (DMAed) up or download yet, but i hope to make this happen soon.
Great news! I have immediately tried to run it and xaa as well as exa work without crashes. Performance-wise I have to say that EXA is _really_ slow, expecially with firefox/thunderbird. XAA is almost as fast as ShadowFB but scrolling in Thunderbird is sluggish. Video playback looked ok though. I rolled back to the hardy driver for now to be able to use ShadowFB; it seems to be impossible to activate after the update. Would it be possible to benchmark the new features for comparison to ShadowFB ?
