I've read on this list that XAA is known to be slow and that ShadowFB is better. So far I can't get ShadowFB to work. I've added this line to my xorg.conf, in the Device section:
Option "ShadowFB" "on"
Hi Sam, I've got a v5200 (slightly older but mostly the same) chip in my T60p, and here's what I've got in the "Device" section of my xorg.conf: Section "Device" Identifier "FireGL5200" Driver "radeonhd" Option "monitor-DVI-D_1" "DoubleSightDVI" Option "monitor-PANEL" "ThinkpadLCD" Option "RROutputOrder" "DVI-D_1" Option "AccelMethod" "shadowfb" EndSection The last bit is what it took to get my shadowfb rolling, I've got # Option "ShadowFB" "on" in there but commented out so it must not have worked. Anyway, things are quite nice in 2D with ShadowFB, and I'm being patient for 3D acceleration for now (I reboot to windows to play games anyhow :) Alec -- Alec Habig, University of Minnesota Duluth Physics Dept. habig@neutrino.d.umn.edu http://neutrino.d.umn.edu/~habig/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
