Hello, I have a Radeon 8500 LE with an LCD attached to the CRT output. I've been compiling the DRI to test against NwN, glxgears, and bzflag. So first of all, great work!
However, as of last week when I downloaded and compiled the DRI it appears that my glxgears framerate is capping at the vSync rate (70fps) and the hardware NwN fps is a little over half what it used to be, lighting/texture glitches and all. I suspect that it's idling the CPU waiting for vSync in both. I re-tested by using the latest trunk as of this morning and it's still capped. It also appears that R200_NO_TCL no longer functions. It was the only thing that allowed me to play NwN at all with the DRI since I prefer not to use the ATI binary drivers. I haven't learned how to use what appears to be the DRI config file yet, but that's on my list of things to do this weekend. In the source it looks like I can set TCL_mode to 0 in the config file to achieve the same effect that R200_NO_TCL used to give me. Is my deduction correct about the config file? If you want, when I get the time (read: tomorrow) I will use cvs update -D to binary search through the tree of the last 45 days and find when it changed. I'm willing to dig into the code and find out what's wrong. I design and implement software for a living and as my second favorite hobby. So, while I'm not familiar with the code I believe I can be of more use than the usual "it's broken, help?" statements. Just in case they may be useful I have logs available at: http://treeofice.net/~pez/logs/ XFree86.0.log (50K) glxinfo.log (4.1K) I figure I'll sacrifice some outgoing bandwidth to keep from spamming the list with files unnecessarily. System info; Athlon 1800+, 512MB RAM, Radeon 8500LE, gentoo linux (ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"), 2.4.20-gentoo-r7 with kernel module not built in kernel. Using the DRI CVS kernel module. The LCD monitor has a CRT connector and is connect to the CRT output. I have a DVI to CRT convertor somewhere if testing through the DVI port is desired. Note: I used to get ~1450 out of glxgears, 36 fps out of NwN with the ugly hardware acceleration. Now it's 70/19. The cap happens with or without page flipping (makes sense). The logs are without page flipping.
