With that loaded I no longer get the agpgart messages and I'm getting better glxgears performance now so that's cool. However I get about 2000 FPS from my laptop with it's Radeon 9200: :01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M9+ 5C61 [Radeon Mobility 9200 (AGP)] (rev 01) but only about 200FPS from the Pundit-R's 9100: :01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon 9100 IGP Both machines use the same basic chipset. The laptop: flash ~ $ /sbin/lspci :00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon 9100 IGP Host Bridge (rev 02) :00:01.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon 9100 IGP AGP Bridge The Pundit-R: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ /sbin/lspci :00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon 9100 IGP Host Bridge (rev 02) :00:01.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon 9100 IGP AGP Bridge The laptop uses 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 while the Pundit-R uses an older 2.6.11-gentoo-r3. I guess the next thing is to update the kernel. I have a very hard time beleiving the performance difference should be 10x!! Oh, one other thing I found. When I tell the Pundit-R to do this: opengl-update xorg-x11 then glxgears runs. However if I use opengl-update ati then the machine locks up hard wen running glxgears. This happens with both the 8.12.10 driver as well as the newer ~x86 driver. I haven't tried this on my laptop. Take care, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I re-arranged your message a bit to make the answers flow a bit better. Mark Knecht wrote: > Hey Richard, > So this Pundit-R is driving the S-Video input on a TV set. Oops, I forgot you were doing that...sorry. > Can you recommend where I'd look to find the right settings for > driving a TV input with the radeon driver and 9100 IGP chipset? Well, you already got farther than I did with the radeon driver and S-Video outputI never got anything to display! Unfortuantely, I am 6000 miles away from anything with an S-Video input (in France), and won't be home for another month, so I cannot do any testing on my end to see... As for a specific guide for getting a TV display to work with the radeon driver, no I haven't found anything. But, you might want to try setting the CRT2HSync and CRT2VRefresh settings with the radeon driver. I am assuming that the S-Video output is being operated as the secondary monitor, and the defaults for these are "undefined". See "man radeon" for the gory details. > Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones > [drm] Initialized drm 1.0.0 20040925 > ACPI: PCI interrupt :01:05.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 > [drm] Initialized radeon 1.14.0 20050125 on minor 0: PCI device > 1002:5834 (ATI Technologies Inc) > > [drm:radeon_cp_init] *ERROR* radeon_cp_init called without lock held > [drm:drm_unlock] *ERROR* Process 6162 using kernel context 0 Ouch, that doesn't look good. But maybe this can help: http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DriTroubleshooting It seems you need to load the chipset-specific AGP driver in addition to agpgart. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

(Since this is what MythTV is for, right?) Anyway, with the fglrx driver I'm able to get the TV to sync but with the radeon driver I'm not. With the fglrx driver I'm using: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" HorizSync 21 - 68 VertRefresh 60 Option "DPMS" DisplaySize 320 180 EndSection however these settings don't seem to work with the radeon driver. I just get slumped over picture - rolling/sideways, like all the sync rates are wrong. Looking through the log file I see more problems with the AGP stuff.

I spent time looking for lists of devices supported by the drivers but couldn't find it. The words seemed too generic to get Google to find what I was looking for. Anyway, thanks. I'll give the radeon driver a shot this morning. Cheers, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

(C) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Well, if it is the "IGP" or "Mobility" version of the chip, only 2D is supported by the fglrx driver, but maybe that is a hardware limitation?? The 'radeon' driver should support hardware 3D acceleration on 9100 chips, so you might want to try that. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
