The radeon driver uses the DRM for 2D acceleration when DRI is enabled, performance is better than with DRI disabled (in which case 2D acceleration is done via direct memory mapped writes to chip registers). Is that what you're looking for? -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
