Either something is seriously wrong with my settings somehow or x11-drm is |
14 |
really crappy. A have no idea.. Fact is yesterday I was forces to boot back |
15 |
in to my previous kernel since the one I created for x11-drm (i.e. with dri |
16 |
disabled in the kernel configuration) failed me. The previous kernel had dri |
17 |
compiled as modules and I have never had direct rendering working with it... |
18 |
until now.. |

I am very surprised by this but it turns out direct rendering is working now |
21 |
with the kernel modules. And the performance is quite a bit better than |
22 |
before: |

|
24 |
~ $ glxinfo | grep dir |
25 |
direct rendering: Yes |
26 |
|
27 |
~ $ glxgears |

I am clueless as to why this is working now when it wasn't before... |
