Greetings -- I'm trying to accelerate horizontal scroll on nvidia GeForce 2 Go with free nv driver(s), and wonder whether nouveau is the solution -- with its 2D acceleration.
The rationale is this: I am installing and configuring Linux on a tablet PC, Compaq TC1000. I've managed most everything to work. One of the best things you can do with a tablet is to read the web in vertical mode. The native nvidia drivers support randr and scroll fast in the rotated mode. However, binary nvidia drivers can't hibernate, which is a non-starter for my mobile usage. The free nv driver supports randr as well, but landscape scrolling is slow. While trying to make binary nvidia drivers to fall asleep, I've disabled all AGP, and now wonder what's the right way to enable it back for the free nv driver. Also -- does vesafb have anything to do with it? I enabled vesafb-tng instead of the standard vesafb as it's more conducive of hibernation. There's also an nvidiafb module, and I wonder how that interacts with X, if at all. But since nouveau says it focuses on 2D, I tried to configure it -- getting git clone just now -- and got this: -- first autogen.sh run -- complains about AC_DISABLE_STATIC and something else; -- second time: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/s/c/git/nouveau/mesa/drm> ./autogen.sh autoreconf: Entering directory `.' autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext autoreconf: running: aclocal autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Libtool autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoheader autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --no-force libdrm/Makefile.am:21: Libtool library used but `LIBTOOL' is undefined libdrm/Makefile.am:21: libdrm/Makefile.am:21: The usual way to define `LIBTOOL' is to add `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL' libdrm/Makefile.am:21: to `configure.ac' and run `aclocal' and `autoconf' again. autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1 In fact I see AC_PROG_LIBTOOL is defined in configure.ac. I have automake 1.9.6. Is drm version-dependent, or I need some more mesa components or something else?
