 Posted: Sun Jun 04, 2006 11:05 am Post subject: Composite and radeon driver (Radeon 9200) |
 |
|
"Xorg X11 and Transparency" wiki article says:
You can get hardware accelled Render (EXA) for 9200 and below, using X.org 7.0 driver 'radeon', thus making Composite ridiculously fast
So I upgraded to Xorg 7.0 and enabled EXA and Composite. Though when I turned transparency on in KDE, it worked, but perfomance was very low
I disabled EXA and Composite and installed Xgl (w/o compiz), but it is not better.
Now I have a feeling I'm doing something wrong  This is my xorg.conf (I stripped most comments):

irondog, I think it's time to try to get XGL working, not EXA. Though I want at least one of them 
BTW, I didn't try ATI drivers. Are they any better for Radeon9200? |

The latest official ati drivers should support 7.0. That should make it possible to run XGL.
But I haven't used binary ati stuff for a long time, so I can't share my experiences.
