Nothing obvious here.

Nothing?!

So what?

but people said should be something like this: parm: no_wb:Disable AGP writeback for scratch registers (int) parm: modeset:Disable/Enable modesetting (int) parm: dynclks:Disable/Enable dynamic clocks (int) parm: r4xx_atom:Enable ATOMBIOS modesetting for R4xx (int) parm: vramlimit:Restrict VRAM for testing (int) parm: agpmode:AGP Mode (-1 == PCI) (int) parm: gartsize:Size of PCIE/IGP gart to setup in megabytes (32,64, etc) (int) parm: benchmark:Run benchmark (int) parm: test:Run tests (int) parm: connector_table:Force connector table (int) parm: tv:TV enable (0 = disable) (int)

This is with KMS enabled. We needed to disable KMS support in radeon drm module. 3D performance is unrelated to modesetting. -- 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 don't see why slow 3D acceleration is a critical issue. Everybody can live without and it's rather old graphics hardware anyway.

That old graphics hardware worked fine in openSUSE 11.1. Anyway congratulations: linux like windows now forces to by new hardware!

It's just for ancient stuff anyway! </sarcasm> I think comment 18 clashes with the true spirit of linux driver development.
