Hmm, is that stuff I see in the screenshot tearing?

I have no idea what ACTC is but usually telling people directly is the fastest way to get them to do something. And honestly that sounded like a bug to me.

Do they have some kind of a bug tracker you could tell this on?

Appears to be full of awesome.

I actually wish they had chosen OpenVG for acceleration like they do in embedded. Adobe has a lot more experience with it. OpenVG support in Mesa is maturing pretty nicely too.

Or actually at the beginning. Saves time configuring.

Aw, this was just so unnecessary. A simple warning (or perhaps even an error if one wants to really make the point) at the end of configure that the driver isn't actively maintained anymore should've...

Yeah, I guess we (consumers) can live with replacing graphics chip being slightly more difficult. (it's not like you need to need to yank graphics card in and out all the time unless you're a...

Wayland terminal still segfaults for me on resize. :( (r600g)

Why go for the kill when you can go for overkill: we could have a commit-by-commit benchmarking of r600c and r600g for commits that actually touch those drivers. This would also give away...

As per article, it'll be part of vanilla Linux soonish.

Addendum: vblank and vsync are two different things. Both need to be disabled to get higher fps than refresh rate as far as I've seen.

This isn't enough. ddx does vsync unless you disable it from source code.
Just enable vsync in Catalyst, it'll lead to fairer benchmarks. :P

Hardware management moved from X to kernel with KMS. This is why the xorg.conf trick no longer works. Note that I don't remember which parameter you need to give to the kernel to se it up.

Did you consider that radeon drivers have vsync and vblank on by default limiting the maximum framerates which leads into a lower average?

Then why do you keep on doing it?

I thought the Intel GEM was written with these exact issues in mind.

Try putting -m32 to CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in the Makefile.

Take heed that there's some additional work if you're on a 64bit machine and want to install that as a 32bit library.

Agreed, those numbers don't sound credible. Even the open one matching fglrx in performance doesn't. Then again, fglrx having the 1k fps and radeon being 175-178 fps would be very much more credible....
