radeonhd driver config

[harvy]

Hi all.
How to properly configure radeonhd driver?
Overall performance is good but fullscreen video playback is slow. Any solution/ideas?

The first thing that comes to mind is enabling EXA acceleration since XAA is the default on some chips. In the radeonhd driver section of xorg.conf:

Option "AccelMethod" "exa"

Not sure about this, but I *think* that AtomBIOS support is not on by default, in which case you can try if AtomBIOS works better for you with:

Option "UseAtomBIOS" "true"

Btw, what Radeon card are you using?

card is HD 2400 pro AGP
slackware linux 12.1

Tried options you've said - no result=( fullscreen video is slow.

Also make sure you have the latest radeonhd code from git, since textured video support was only added very recently.

EDIT - if you have an HD2400 then the problem is simply that we don't have video acceleration for your card yet, but we are working on it. For now, you are probably already using the -x11 output -- if so that is probably as good as it's going to get until we get some HW acceleration added. Shouldn't be long though...

Ok then, we are waiting.
