Too bad kernel modules aren't anywhere so you have to compile them like told in wiki radeon build how to

I uploaded a drm-modules-source (for easy building of kernel modules using modules-assistant) of agd5f's tree to https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/radeon . The package is built on Karmic, but it should work in Jaunty as well.

Why do you still use m-a? U uses dkms and it can be used really easy with drm:

http://kanotix.com/files/fix/dkms/drm-r6xx-r7xx-3d-dkms.sh

When you change

LANG= dkms mkdeb -m $module -v $ver --source-only

to

LANG= dkms mkdsc -m $module -v $ver --source-only

you get a package you could easyly adopt for uploading to your repo if you dislike scripts which generate that dynamically.

I was away from my r700 for two weeks and I've tried it once again today.

I thought I read (but can't figure out where) "DownloadFromScreen" "False" was no longer needed for r700 just as LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=yes for openarena but it seems like it doesn't work with me.

So, does the issues still exist ? Did I misread something ?

Thanks by advance.

DownloadFromScreen has nothing to do with GL. It's part of EXA (2D). DownloadFromScreen is currently disabled on rv740 for same transfers until we sort out why it's problematic. The issues with needing indirect rendering for some apps has been fixed.
