[Dri-users] Slow 2D, Radeon AIW 9000

[Wes J. <sup...@sb...>]

I'm getting slow screen redraws (i.e. I can see it draw the 
background/icons etc.) and a peculiar problem with enabling "Smooth 
title scroll" which results in the CPU usage of X as reported in top 
jumping up to ~19% even when nothing is being displayed and no song is 
being played.  This is in contrast to the tdfx driver and my banshee 
which works fine.  3D is also not as fast as I would expect, a little 
slower than my banshee and Quake3 framerates (using timedemo) won't go 
over 16 or under 12 no matter what settings I use from 320x240 to 
800x600 and at varying quality settings.  Quakeforge 5.2 also seems 
unaffected by what quality CVARS I use...?

I'm running SuSE 8.0 with their XFree 4.3 RPM and kernel 2.6.0-test2-mm1 
which reports "[drm] Initialized radeon 1.9.0 20020828 on minor 0" in my 
boot log.  I've included my X log for reference, though that last part 
repeats a bunch so I just left the first instance.

Would compiling the XFree module from CVS make any difference?  If so 
and I compile it against 2.4.18 will that work, or do I need to compile 
it against 2.6.0-test2-mm1 and install both the kernel and XFree modules?

Thanks!
