Hi, I'm using a Radeon 7500 (RV200 QW) on an Athlon XP1700+, but glxgears does only reach about 370-440 fps, which is (AFAIR on IRC) way below the expected performance for that machine. I tested both 4.3.0 (Debian pre1v1) and latest binary DRI on top, but it didn't change much. I tested both the DRM from 2.6.0-test3 and the DRM that is shipped with 4.3.0 on top of 2.4.21-bk30. glxgears tells me that direct rendering is enabled and indeed the performance drops severely if I use it without DRM (down to 60 fps). I tried to disable/enable all possible combinations of driver tweaks (like RADEON_NO_IRQS etc.), but that didn't help. You can find my X.log, my Xfree-config, glxinfo output and lspci -vvv at http://www.tzi.de/~jmm/radeon-7500-dri-slowness.tar.gz
I read a posting on linux-kernel that enabling the local APIC on uniprocessor systems dropped the performance, but disabling that didn't help either. As the output from the logs looks sane and my seems system properly configured I can only suspect that there's a bug in DRI for my radeon. Does anything in my config look suspicious for you? Do you need additional data?
