Before "2D acceleration" was introduced the radeonhd driver still had shadowfb support which made a big difference in 2D performance. I'm pretty sure Matthias mentioned that the 3D support did not co-exist with shadowfb either but I'm not 100% sure of that. Without shadowfb support, performance would be on a par with fglrx running without DRI, ie really slow. -----Original Message----- From: Rene Ladan [mailto:r.c.ladan@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2008 4:30 PM To: Adam Williamson Cc: radeonhd@opensuse.org Subject: Re: [radeonhd] State of DRI on r5xx Adam Williamson schreef:

FireFox and thunderbird now repaint dead slow :(, as does xterm. Terminal (the xfce4 terminal) still runs at a decent speed.
That's because, as was noted in the initial announcement, 3D and 2D acceleration can't currently co-exist.
I know, but don't remember these applications being that slow before 2D acceleration was introduced (or did I happily forget about that?). I'm using this driver since version 0.0.2. -- http://www.rene-ladan.nl/ GPG fingerprint = E738 5471 D185 7013 0EE0 4FC8 3C1D 6F83 12E1 84F6 (subkeys.pgp.net) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
