Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
this is a bit off topic, since it primarily concerns a laptop running |
| 4 |
OpenSuSe 11.3, but I do need your help and I known there are experts |
| 5 |
here. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
This old laptop has a |
| 8 |
radeon RV350 (mobility Radeon 9600 M10) graphics card. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
There is an xf86-video-ati driver installed. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Now, when booting with the (default) radeon.modeset=1 |
| 13 |
the graphics is dead slow (not only for glxgears : 200 frame/s but for |
| 14 |
my OpenGL application (Impressive), as well). |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Now, when I replace the option on the kernel command line to |
| 17 |
radeon.modeset=0 |
| 18 |
glxgears is much faster ( about 1800 frames/s ) |
| 19 |
BUT my OpenGL application (python gtk + opengl) |
| 20 |
now freezes the whole machine - only power on/off can revive |
| 21 |
it. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Hopefully, someone has an idea on what is going wrong here. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
(The hardware is too old for a recent ATI closed source driver |
| 26 |
supporting a recent kernel 2.6.34.x) |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Many thanks for your help which is very much appreciated. |

Helmut. |
