Ok. I will post the bug report. But I first want to be sure that I correctly installed the Mesa stuff. Did I?

Please file bug reports (https://bugs.freedesktop.org) for apps that don't work with radeon-rewrite so we can get them fixed.

Mesa regression in R300
I am still trying to improve the 3d performance of my Xpress 200M in Ubuntu 9.04. Recently, Maciej Cencora introduced the set of patches to the radeon-rewrite branch that should solve the problem with R300 regression. I compiled this Mesa version, installed it and got the hard lockups of the system in some 3d games: etracer, nexuiz – a black window with the cursor in the left-up corner. However, Compiz works fine. Here what I did:
1) downloaded the last version of radeon-rewrite;
2) ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr;
3) make;
4) sudo make install; and restarted the system.
I noticed that the libs were installed in the correct position. I also tried the last libdrm from xorg-edgers.
Did I miss something or the new mesa stuff is still not ready for this card?
Thank you.
PS We are urgently waiting for a solution since fglrx does not support these cards in 9.04.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that the solution mentioned in the second post does not work either - it lockups the system after few minutes in the game.Last edited by sergus; 28 April 2009, 02:59 PM.

I am back
Alex, thank you very much for this link.
I patched r300_context.c and now I am back:
glxgears
5655 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1130.871 FPS
5656 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1131.106 FPS
5654 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1130.648 FPS
I am happy again.

Xpress 200M problems... again
I have Xpress 200m card and recently upgraded my system to Jaunty. 3D now is very slow. Although Compiz is working fine, I can not play any 3D games. Even PPracer is very slow (7-9 FPS).
Glxgears in Jaunty:
1454 frames in 5.0 seconds = 290.765 FPS
1737 frames in 5.0 seconds = 347.231 FPS
1365 frames in 5.1 seconds = 269.623 FPS
1718 frames in 5.0 seconds = 343.483 FPS
I had above 1100 FPS in 8.10 with 6.12.1 OS driver from git.
Today, I tried Fedora 11 LiveCD - the same problem. Glxgears gave only 140 FPS.
I know that this is not the best place to post a bug report, but I am waiting for the perfect driver for this card for more than 2 years and ATI stopped supporting our cards. So, OS driver is only option for us. (I think it is too early for me to buy a new laptop).
You can find my bug report here:https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ti/+bug/347569
Thank you for any help.Tags: None
