Hi.
I bought a Radeon 9200 to improve the overall performance on X, but so far
I'm quite disappointed.
First despite the activated DRI I only get 235 FPS out of glxgears, which
is even slower as with my previous Voodoo4500 which got up to 300+ FPS.
It's weird, that when the number of polygons increase the performance
decreases (more than expected). Best example is menger from XScreensaver.
The third iteration let the display crawl and most of the workload is on system
according to top and xosview. Could the reason for that, that I have a PCI
and not an AGP interface? Nevertheles I doubt that, since the 50+ MB/s are
easily handled which I create with my SCSI harddisks.
It's also strange that the PCI scan seem to detect two chipsets.
[...]
(--) PCI: (0:7:0) Intel Corp. 82378IB [SIO ISA Bridge] rev 67
(--) PCI: (1:10:0) ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV280 [Radeon 9200] rev 1, Mem @ 0x10000000/27, 0x09000000/16, I/O @ 0x8400/8, BIOS @ 0x0c000000/17
(--) PCI:*(1:10:1) ATI Technologies Inc unknown chipset (0x5941) rev 1, Mem @ 0x18000000/27, 0x09010000/16
[...]
Therefore the configuration only works when I set the following commands:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card2"
Driver "radeon"
Card "Radeon 9200"
BusID "PCI:1:10:1"
BusID "PCI:1:10:0"
Option "BusType" "PCI"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "true"
Option "MonitorLayout" "TMDS, NONE"
EndSection
If I use only one BusID the server complains that it does not found any
matching section for the missing one.
Upon request I could offer the complete log and config.
The system is an alpha (PWS500au) with Debian testing (sarge).
TIA
Torsten
