Missing Functionality From The Linux Graphics Drivers
Collapse

-
I don't use the proprietary driver, but I have noticed that the following seems to be unsupported or severely limited in comparison to the Windows driver:- 3D Vision Surround
- acceleration on some rotated monitor setups
- overclocking on some chipsets
- switchable graphics/Optimus
The following works with the open source intel, radeon and/or nouveau drivers but not with nvidia:- EGL/Wayland
- XRandR 1.2 (superior to both TwinView and Nvidia's Xinerama implementation)
- framebuffer console at native display resolution
- flicker-free vtswich
XRandR 1.2 was discussed in Phoronix articles several times but support never materialized.
When people mention lack of KMS support, I guess they are really referring to flicker free vtswitch to native resolution fbcon.Last edited by chithanh; 17 July 2011, 07:27 AM.

Not to mention times, when I WANT low power, the lowest setting mode my system consumes 105W idle and 140W with performance mode forced - without any load.

What you want is a nice framebuffer. It's a minor side-effect of the open-source implementation of kernel modesetting.
