Sorry about that, this /opt/gfx-test/ directory was something I |
| 7 |
created to test a hand compiled X stack. It shouldn't be interfering |
| 8 |
with running the portage installed X stack, but I should make sure to |
| 9 |
be completely certain. |

After you mentioned this I decided to check my kernel configuration again. |

[*] Enable modesetting on radeon by default - NEW DRIVER |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Here's part of the description for this option: |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Choose this option if you want kernel modesetting enabled by default. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
This is a completely new driver. It's only part of the existing drm |
| 44 |
for compatibility reasons. It requires an entirely different graphics |
| 45 |
stack above it and works very differently from the old drm stack. |
| 46 |
i.e. don't enable this unless you know what you are doing it may |
| 47 |
cause issues or bugs compared to the previous userspace driver stack. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
When kernel modesetting is enabled the IOCTL of radeon/drm |
| 50 |
driver are considered as invalid and an error message is printed |
| 51 |
in the log and they return failure. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
This made me reconsider whether I should set this option or not... |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
I gave it a try without the option set and I get direct rendering fine. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
tony@o_0 ~ $ glxinfo | grep render |
| 58 |
direct rendering: Yes |
| 59 |
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 (RS400 5A62) 20090101 x86/MMX/SSE2 NO-TCL |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
Now I have card0 in /dev/dri. |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
I get about 100 fps now, not extremely fast but certainly a lot better |
| 64 |
than before! |
