    I precise that disabling vline waiting for buffer swaps in the dri2 paths I saw no tearing but only icreased performance.

    By the way, here is the patch (KMS w/o vsync):
    Code:
    diff --git a/src/radeon_dri2.c b/src/radeon_dri2.c
    index 103972f..7ddcda0 100644
    --- a/src/radeon_dri2.c
    +++ b/src/radeon_dri2.c
    @@ -313,7 +313,7 @@ radeon_dri2_copy_region(DrawablePtr drawable,
         }
     
         vsync = info->accel_state->vsync;
    -    info->accel_state->vsync = TRUE;
    +    //info->accel_state->vsync = TRUE;
     
         (*gc->ops->CopyArea)(&src_pixmap->drawable, &dst_pixmap->drawable, gc,
                              0, 0, drawable->width, drawable->height, 0, 0);

      Very nice, thanks for posting this.

      You never mentioned what hardware you were running this on, though.
      RV670, is that a 3850 or greater?

      Curious to see KMS outperforming UMS across the board, it's the opposite of what I've seen earlier...

      Could you post comparisons of gtkperf or some other 2d rendering benchmark too?

        Because you can see the hardware details in the global.phoronix-test-suite.com links
        RV670 is high-end R600, so 3850 or 3870. Mine is HD3870.

        UMS has a much higher max framerate, but also terrible slowdowns, so the average framerate is slower. Unfortunately PTS-2.4.1 prints only the average framerate
        Also, UMS has never performed well with my card. Particularly nexuiz which seems to use software rendering! I already filed bugs but no one ever answered...

        I already planned 2D benchmarks, but I'dd like to test Obscene_CNN performance patches before.
        I'm waiting for him to send me latest kernel patches against drm-radeon-testing and to fix the problems with the other patches.

          Furthermore, phoronix benchmarks had always used a highly outdated graphic stack and in the meanwhile KMS paths improved.

            Dude, there's a difference between "highly outdated" and "current, non experimental". That "highly outdated" you refer to is what people use today.

              That's the problem with periods of rapid progress. Code from a few weeks ago *is* totally outdated

                Don't get me started again about the "Linux Driver Model"

                  Well, since they merged gpu recovery it doesn't matter for me: damn, I love it!

                    P.S.
                    I was starting to think about switching back to nvidia before gpu recovery was implemented
