Re: GMA500 vs. G3 software render

Just thought I would weigh in on this issue ...

I use the gma500 and, yes g3 is a bit slow, but performance has been improving.

It is on my to do list to take one of the F17 daily spins for a test drive.

If you find g3 slow, use another window manager, but I sort of like G3 on my netbook ;)

In discussing the issue I think you need to be more specific , are you talking kernel ? The 3.4 kernel should be even better. Or are you talking llvmpipe ?

Subject: GMA500 vs. G3 software render

While I consider the latest development on gma500, present in many Atom 
base netbooks, a great success and would like to say thank you to 
developer(s), G3 software render negates all this for gnome shell as this 
is extremely slow on Atom. With the fallback mode the G3 is working very 
well on gma500. But the obvious question is, beside the questionable 
future of acceleration on gma500 - what is the future of the fallback? Is 
there still a list of devices that should use fallback "by default"? If 
yes, then I would nominate the gma500 for it, as this is really horrible 
experience, making many users scared, just after live CD/USB boot.
