    I dont think so, have just launched glxgears, upgrade mesa and launch again (in the same shell). Didn't restart or even logout.
    But before it was just Mesa 7.7 and upgraded it to git/master.

      I also saw a huge glxgears speedup and I'm sure I wasn't using software rendering before.

      Perhaps it was some other change. I'm using unstable zen-sources for instance since they pull in the necessary KMS code from the arlied branch among other things.

      On that note, zsnes is now about 10/60 fps (while bsnes is still fine). Wonder what happened there.

        Hmm, that is not the case at all for me. While I can run OpenArena in 1920x1200 in 64-bit Archlinux just fine on my Thinkpad W500 using a 512MB Mobility FireGL V5700 ATI chip (which I think is more or less equivalent to the Mobility RADEON HD 3650 chip) and yesterdays gits of the 2.6.33 + zen kernel, xf86-video-ati and mesa-full (from AUR), I still get about 1 fps when I activate the bloom effects. This is running without KMS and gallium.

        How can I confirm that the latest blit commits are included and compiled in my packages? Do need to specify new configure switches? Do I need a recent git version of some other package?

        Oh, and btw, does Penumbra work ok for you guys using this code? Performance and render quality is still pretty bad here.

          I think I read somewhere that the blit code only kicks in with KMS. Not 100% sure about that though...

            The blit code is only enabled with KMS.

              Nice to hear that


              Does someone know why planeshift is still unplayable?

                I have KMS running now. Yup, that was it. Great job!

                  I wonder if this will fix the regular screen corruption I get on HD4770. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=524419 I don't know how to even begin tracking down the cause. :/

                    Gentoo 2.6.33-r4 kms enabled
                    libdrm mesa and git as of today
                    I get about 30 fps 720x480 and 25-15 fps 1366x768 in openarena all settings maxed still if I disable bloom I get around 80 and 45 respectivly

                    glxgears can't be trusted ... I ALWAYS get ~800fps unless I am using UMS then I get 1100-1200 fps

                    I have the firmware loaded with kms since the kernel wont boot without it... and I don't get the IRQ waits warnings unless I am using UMS of course

                    Could someone eleborate on why cube2/sauerbraten/bloodfrontier is all screwy only bot are drawn and smeared textures it works fine with swrast bit is @ 2fps? Would it be possible to report a lower GL version since the sauerbraten runs fine on Nvidia GL1.4 or does it depend on a few extra extensions?

                      I don't see much improvement myself on both of my systems, one with a RS780 9610 chipset, the other with a RS400 5955 one. Basically I get about 750 and 550 fps respectively in glxgears.
                      I'm using kernel 2.6.33rc4 on both, libdrm, mesa and xf86-video-ati from git but still 1.6.2 X server on both.
                      Would upgrading to a more recent Xserver would make a difference?
