 Posted: Fri Aug 22, 2008 12:57 pm Post subject: Looking for accelerated ATI framebuffer driver... |
 |
|
I have a laptop that has a x1600 ATI card in it. Everything is working in X using the fglrx driver- compiz-fusion, etc. I am currently using uvesafb for my console, but I would prefer an accelerated driver. RadeonFB does not support the resolutions I want- it seems to conk out on anything above 640x480. Currently, I have my framebuffer set to 1280x1024 using mtrr:3. I would prefer something that directly scales to 1680x1050... and is accelerated.
First, what resolutions are a proportionate scale of 1680x1050?
Second, what accelerated framebuffer driver supports those resolutions on an ATI?
Thanks! |

sometimes I notice my scrolling is laggy, but mainly for eye candy. When I have my console at higher resolutions, text draws slower than I think it should. Alot of the things I am doing with this computer "just because I can" and I like to push technology.
Am I opening a can of worms? |
