Hi there,
I asked about this several times in the "ask ati dev thread", but never got a reply. It would be great to get some feedback from the ATI developers.
I wonder when fglrx will support EXA or another proprietary accaleration architecture that is able to accalerate XRender well.
fglrx now uses XAA which falls back to software for almost anything more than solid fills and lines.
Almost all currently developed drivers support EXA, even the proprietary NVidia driver recently got quite powerful XRender accaleration in the latest beta release.
Its still buggy but once those problems are ironed out, fglrx is the only driver arround not capable of accalerating XRender composition. (well, the crappy recently open-sourced VIA drivers don't count I guess).
Thanks, Clemens
