ati driver with KMS under debian sid : 15x slower and questions
Hi, I'm running under debian sid up to date. But with a 2.6.34 compiled with KMS support. with xserver-xorg-video-ati version 1:6.13.0-2 glxgears gives : 166.882 FPS with 6.12.6-1 I got around 2400 FPS. So it really slow now. When a programm takes CPU, I can't do anything under X (I have e17). Is it a regression from the driver or is the transition not achieved ? How can I modify my xorg.conf in order to get more FPS ? Others questions : - I have seen in the changelog that exa is now enabled by default. But when I start X XAA is used. I have to write Option AccelMethod EXA in order to get EXA (when I enable EXA it doesn't change anything for the FPS.) - I'm using radeonfb with the grub line : video=radeonfb:ywrap,mtrr,1400x1050 could this line have an influence on the ati xorg driver performances ? Thx a lot, Best regards, Guillaume ___ xorg-driver-ati mailing list xorg-driver-ati@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati

ati and 2 monitors with 2 different resolutions : is it possible ?
Hi, Happy new year! I have a question : on my laptop (debian sid), I have a second monitor on the VGA output. I don't have any problem on the VGA output when the monitor has the same display resolution (1400x1050) as the LVDS monitor. But when my second monitor has a lower resolution (1024x768), I can have a correct clone mode : on the second monitor I have a part of the big one (a rectangle 1024x768). Is there something to do ?

Pb driver ati + EXA + iceweasel
Hi, I'm running under debian sid. So I just upgraded my system with the last release : 1:6.8.191-1 I have looked at my Xorg.log and I have seen that XAA is no more supported, So I change my xorg.conf with : Option AccelMethod EXA I restart X server. So I don't have any message about XAA/EXA. All seem to work good. But if I run iceweasel (fork of firefox), the system is really slow, and X takes 100% off cpu to show me the google page... If I return to XAA, I don't have any problem and all work out of the box. So what can I do to solve this problem ? report a bug to iceweasel ? What is the XAA future ? If anyone have infos...

Problem with gxine and ati driver : solution ?
Hi, I'm running under debian SID (up to date) with e17 and the ati free driver. Since the last update of xine/gxine and ati driver, I have problem when I play video in fullscreen. The screen blinks periodicaly. I saw that the gixe dev (Darren Salt) spoke on this topic here (xset dpms force on does the same thing that when I play a video under gxine). Is there actually a solution to solve this problem ? Or just wait until the next upgrade ? cheers and thanks for this driver!
