Bug#577976: xserver-xorg-video-vesa: New VESA driver excrutiatingly slow
Stefan Monnier (04/04/2011): > Sorry for not replying earlier. I'm using the fbdev driver with > Debian testing and the speed is back to normal (which is expectedly > slow, but acceptable for my use and there's not much that can be > done given the absence of a good driver for it). Glad to read that (btw, there was some bits pushed in the kernel lately for Poulsbo: https://lwn.net/Articles/429205/ https://lwn.net/Articles/429206/ https://lwn.net/Articles/436029/ ) and thanks for closing the bug yourself.

I have no idea whether that would make any difference, but can you check what happens if you install libgl1-mesa-dri? (For some reasons a dlopen is attempted on swrast_dri.so) You may want to check what happens with fbdev instead? Mraw, KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
