I was testing the latest xf86-video-radeon with f11 and the latest xorg-x11-server. And to my surprise the fedora version performs much worse than the vanilla code here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-announce/2009-February/000771.html. Installed are: mesa-libGLU-7.3-5.fc11.x86_64 mesa-libGL-7.3-5.fc11.x86_64 mesa-dri-drivers-7.3-5.fc11.x86_64 libdrm-2.4.5-0.fc11.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-utils-7.4-5.fc11.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-common-1.6.0-2.fc11.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.0-2.fc11.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.11.0-1.1.fc11.x86_64 (from vanilla source without extra patches) kernel-2.6.29-0.172.rc6.git4.fc11.x86_64 With the fedora version (with all the patches) I cannot do basic things like watch flash files and video (almost no hardware acceleration). This results in 100% cpu usage, screen distortions. At the same time the vanilla code playes the video files smoothly and everything is fine. Even the kms works! With the fedora code I need to pass radeon.gartsize=128 at startup in order to make it start the xserver. And in terms of speed it's far behind the vanilla code. I saw that some patches date back to before 6.10.0. Are they still needed? Has someone else tried this? -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
