Originally posted by Porter View PostWhat was the performance regression, and in what app? Maybe I can check it for you.
With the Tormod and radeon-rewrite PPAs, Compiz seems a bit faster, and glxgears shows a higher FPS (~800), but anything else that uses 3D is messed up, textures, or something like that, mainly unplayable.
So I'm wondering if I use the Ubuntu X-Swat or the tormod PPAs without radeon-rewrite, will I have usable 3D without performance problems?

Tormod is a contributor to the X-Swat team as well, so you should see the good bits from his builds reflected there.

Oh well, any one has an idea about how to fix this?

Originally posted by Extreme Coder View PostWell, I tried it out, and it's like I expected, I disabled xorg-crackers and radeon-rewrite PPAs, added X-Swat updates, downgraded to latest, 3D is working properly, but very slowly (performance regression), but that's kinda expected seeing Ubuntu X-Swat does not provide an updated Mesa package :/

BTW, we will update mesa in x-updates as soon as a stable update exists.
