Hey all. I've got a Thinkpad T60p with a FireGL V5250 card. I know from using XP on this machine that this a very capable video card. The performance I'm seeing with the radeonhd driver just isn't great - slow scrolling in Firefox is the most obvious problem.
Right now it appears that I'm using XAA judging by my Xorg.0.log:
(**) RADEONHD(0): Selected XAA 2D acceleration.
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"
But I see this in my logs:
(WW) RADEONHD(0): Option "ShadowFB" is not used
Can anyone give me any advice on speeding up X with my card? Am I barking up the wrong tree with ShadowFB?
