Hi there,
I've recently installed Linux on my grilfriend's computer, which has a mobility-radeon-X700.
While 3D performance is good enough (she does not play anyway), 2D is really slow. I tried the open driver with XAA and EXA and the closed driver but its way slower than my GMA950 powered laptop and also slower than my GeForce-4mx powered older laptop - and its way slower than the X700 on Windows.
Are there any enhancements planned to the closed driver to speed its 2D rendering up? Are there knobs to tune it? (I won't use XAAOffscreenPixmaps false!).
Thank you in advance, lg Clemens
