Hi,
I bought a zacate e359 powered netbook, and I have installed opensuse 11.4 on it. I'm using fglrx at the moment, but these drivers does not play well with gnome-shell ; and 2D acceleration seems not present (the background fade in at startup of gdm is sluggish)
I would like to use the radeon drivers with 3D acceleration, but the components provided by opensuse are the latest stable one ; According to the e350 performance article, I need Mesa 7.11 (still in devel) and xf86-video-ati DDX. The opensuse kernel is 2.6.38, which should work with e350 (beside some bugs, but I would like to update the parts that does not work before the "buggy" ones).
My questions are :
- which version of xf86-video-ati DDX must I use ? The latest stable one is 6.14.1
- which commit of Mesa 7.11 should I use ? I would like to avoid non building Mesa code...
- what flags must I pass to xf86-video-ati DDX and Mesa to enable 3d acceleration (with gallium3d) for my APU ?
- Should I build some special kernel module, or the one provided by my distro that works for other ati cards should work ?
I only rebuilt my graphic stack once, to enable vmwgfx for opensuse 11.4. I'm no expert ...
Thanks in advance,
Vincent
