Today I did a few tests more, and finally got best results with KMS enabled. Now I have working X server with DRI2, 3D acceleration and really fast switching between VTs and X desktop. 3D performance is worse than it was before with DRI, but I have no issues when powering down (previously was: red&white artifacts, system hangs) and didn't experience either black screen or high CPU usage after startup :)
You can easy test KVM without restarting, just stop gdm and reload radeon driver with option modeset=1, then start gdm again. sudo stop gdm sudo modprobe -r radeon sudo modprobe radeon modeset=1 sudo start gdm To enable KVM automatically I use modified Cyril's method (just added modeset=1): ... initctl emit starting-dm DM=gdm # 3D acceleration FIX: re-init of radeon driver (should be loaded AFTER agpgart kernel module); enable KVM modprobe -r radeon ; modprobe radeon modeset=1 exec gdm-binary $CONFIG_FILE -- Radeon module loaded before agpgart https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/468413 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
