Phoronix: xf86-video-ati X.Org Driver 6.13 RC2
Alex Deucher this morning put out the xf86-video-ati 6.12.6 point release, which isn't too interesting, but of greater interest he did put out a second release candidate for the forthcoming KMS-capable xf86-video-ati 6.13 DDX driver. There's already a lot to be found with this long-overdue and major xf86-video-ati 6.13 X.Org driver update, but added to this second release candidate (that's officially v6.12.192) is an ATI R600/700 GPU fix that should significantly improve the performance of EXA DFS acceleration...

Exactly in which areas does the EXA DFS/GetImage performance matter? Just curious...

One example mentioned on IRC was running a composited desktop over XRender rather than OpenGL.

great !Originally Posted by bridgman
so if the opengl performance isn't strong enough yet, there's still the fallback of XRender for kde4
I'm anxiously awaiting support for Evergreen series: Juniper, Cypress, etc.
thanks !

Sorry for being *buntu-centric, but anyone knows if the GPU fix for R600/700 will be backported for Ubuntu lucid? Many thanks!
Senior Member
Lucid will probably follow the 6.13 series until the final release.
Senior Member
Ah, I assume by "following" you mean really "back-porting". Thanks!
Senior Member
No need to backport. Lucid isn't released yet, they will just adopt the 6.13rc2 release that includes the change within the next days or so.

i'm not sure, but flash videos seems to be no more laggy in firefox with the dfs patch.
(i'm using a rv620 chipset)
