Using Wednesday's beta (for some reason I can't get access to sourceforge from my lame mindspring dialup at home, so I do my CVS at work and then ftp down a tarball) I was able to build the Xserver with shared rage driver. The kernel module (kernel 2.3.99pre6) loads just fine, and the Xserver itself seems speedier than the Xf_com server. however, I noticed something, that I can only describe as "stutter" when it came to frame rates. quake3, as well as the simple "sproingies" glx hack from xscreensave showed this behaviour. They would run at a very fast speed for 1-2 seconds and then slow down to almost Mesa software speeds (or slower) and then speed back up. the "atlantis" glx hack ran at a consistantly slow framerate. I can provide the Xserver log if that it useful. The computer is a P3-500 with 128 Megs ram, 16 Meg Rage 128 RF (windows calls it a Rage 128 GL???) card, kernel 2.3.99pre6, Intel 440BX chipset, agpgart in kernel. Any testing I can do to track this down, please let me know. thanks -Scott -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scott Call | Perhaps the best way to keep kids from turning on Router Geek | their classmates is to protect them in the first Advanced Telcom Group| place, -jonkatz |
