r200 dri uses xorg cvs head, with dri driver from Mesa cvs head, with color tiling, texture tiling, hyperz and whatever else I could find boosting performance :-). fglrx uses XFree86 4.3.99.902 (from suse 9.1), with stock configuration, except I needed to correct the bus id and switched it to external gart. I don't know of any options which would boost performance. Desktop resolution is 1280x1924, 85Hz.
Exactly which fglrx version is this with, the old 3.x series or the new 8.8.25?
This was newest 8.8.25 (for xfree 4.3, your suggested linker magic for using the 6.8 version with xorg cvs head does not work :-)).
Interesting, I've been doing that with fglrx for quite a while now with no problems. Maybe I left out a step in the instructions.
If you could post the loader errors you got I could tell you how to work around them.
I just did what you suggested for fglrx_drv.o, i.e.
gcc -shared -nostdlib -o fglrx_drv.so fglrx_drv.o -Bstatic -lgcc.
libfglrxdrm.a consists of two objects, (modules.o and FireGLdrm.o) I extracted them with ar and linked both objects together then (gcc -shared -nostdlib -o libfglrxdrm.so modules.o FireGLdrm.o -Bstatic -lgcc).
But this gave me an error, it complained about unreferenced symbol from fglrx_drv.so (I believe it was firegl_PM4Alloc, I am sure though it was one of the symbols defined in this libfglrxdrm.so).
I tried some weird things like linking the two objects from libfglrxdrm.a together with libdrm.so without much success. At one point though I got a different missing symbol, I believe that was XAACreateScreenRec or something like that. At this point I gave up...
