[Dri-devel] More about AGP

[Jouni T. <jit...@cc...>]

Hello

I tried enabling AGP Fast Writes and the performance increased. But my system 
also got unstable. After reading about Fast Writes I came to the conclusion 
that it is quite a problematic feature sometimes.

If I understood right, Fast Writes works so that cpu can send data directly to 
the graphics card. Wouldn't the fastest way to transmit data be to tell the 
card to load the data from main memory? This way the cpu wouldn't have to wait 
for the copying to finish and could something else at the same time.
