Then when we get kernel modesetting, there really should be no differences between the two drivers.
With the compiz in action, has someone already tested the new 3d acclerations with any 3d games yet ?

The bit of news was mostly that it can run Compiz, not that it can run Compiz with useful speeds...Test signature

Yep. The downside of open source is that you can download the same game a half dozen times under different names
Last week ppracer and etracer were working sorta-ok, in the sense that you could play without interruption, Tux and the controls/status displays were clear, and enough of the course details were visible to navigate most of the time.
This week some of the text lines are over-writting each other and choosing "Practice" then selecting a course results in immediate termination on etracer and termination after a few seconds of play on ppracer. The failure message is :
etracer: radeon_lock.c:65: radeonGetLock: Assertion `drawable != ((void *)0)' failed.
Aborted
Anyways, let's let agd5f finish working on the accelerated back-to-front copy firstTest signature

Some 780G mobos have DisplayPort connectors so you can have two digital displays, at the expense of the PCIe x16 port. However for 785G I don't think any DP mobos are announced.
