Ok, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
so I have this card in pretty much equal AMD64 systems: |
| 4 |
ATI Technologies Inc RV710 [Radeon HD 4350]. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
One system is running ATI drivers and the video game |
| 7 |
I use to test performance is bzflag; it runs just fine. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
The second system had an ATI X1900 card but was replace |
| 10 |
with an identical card as the system above (HD 4350). |
| 11 |
I followed the gentoo guides on this migration from ATI |
| 12 |
to Radeon driver, but could have muck things up. |
| 13 |
BZflag runs so slow it get's about every frame. glxgears |
| 14 |
has a score of 80 with the radeon driver and a kms |
| 15 |
kernel. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
When booting (drm RV710) microcode takes about a full minute |
| 18 |
to load. Strangely long, but it boots and kde is fine. I turned |
| 19 |
off nepomuk services. Both systems use hal, if that makes |
| 20 |
any difference... |

There is not xorg.conf file being used, so maybe |
| 52 |
I need a minimal xorg.conf to get 3D acceleration |
| 53 |
working? |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Any benchmarks that run under both drivers that the |
| 56 |
sytems both have 2G or ram on dual processor; one |
| 57 |
is 2.4GHz the other is 2.2GHz otherwise identical. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
I think I munge up the /lib/radeon part of setting up |
| 60 |
the kernel (kms) for loading the microcode, but, I cannot |
| 61 |
seem to fine a url or thread where instructions are |
| 62 |
for that.... (even though I did find it over a week ago |
| 63 |
in another thread). |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
In the kernel, under the Generic section, I have: |
| 66 |
CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y |
| 67 |
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y |
| 68 |
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="radeon" |
| 69 |
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware" |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
Correct? |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
Ideas? |
