[Dri-devel] Slow MGA G400 and Return to castle Wolfenstein (and others)

[Bas v. d. H. <bvd...@xs...>]

Hi there,
=A0
I'm strugling with my G400 performance for months now, since the 4.1 tree.
Quake 3 is just not playable at some levels,=20
Return to castle wolfenstein is not playable.
Soldier of fortune is not playable anymore.

I had contact with Jeff Hartman, and he told me that this was supposed to=
 be=20
a SMP issue.

But i've tried the same config (RH7.1+Xfree4.1+G400 (PIII/BX chipset)) on=
 a=20
Uni-processor machine, and the same slowness as a result.

I've heard from the avifile guys that there are some serious problems wit=
h=20
the gcc version (2.96) supplied by RedHat in combination with MMX.

Please can someone confirm this (with simalair config)=20

Greetings

Bas
