ATI R600 Gallium3D Driver Continues Advancing

Same thing.
Screen 22'

Openarena 0.81, anholt

intel E1400 2,2Ghz
HD770 512Mo
2G RAM

kernel 2.6.36 next
git: ddx
ppa edger: (7.10.0+git20101001.29b491bd-0ubuntu0sarvatt~lucid) mesa,xserver,libdrm

Tiling on -> same result off or on.
Vsync off

Galium:
840 frames 30.1 seconds 27.9 fps 17.0/35.8/69.0/7.8 ms

Classic:
840 frames 12.1 seconds 69.4 fps 7.0/14.4/71.0/3.4 ms

Gallium - 840 frames 38.7 seconds 21.7 fps 29.0/46.1/89.0/9.1 ms

Classic - 840 frames 8.0 seconds 105.0 fps 5.0/9.5/22.0/2.6 ms

This is now roughly fixed in master - in fact testing with OA 0.85 gallium now beats classic.

gallium - 840 frames 7.3 seconds 114.5 fps 3.0/8.7/57.0/3.6 ms
classic - 840 frames 8.1 seconds 103.8 fps 5.0/9.6/46.0/2.9 ms

I still get artifacts with bloom enabled with gallium on the anholt demo and after the menu screen also has corruption.

Testing nexuiz, timedemo demos/demo1 fullscreen 1920x1080 effects set to normal classic beats gallium.

gallium - 36.6124827 fps, one-second fps min/avg/max: 21 40 83
classic - 45.5705867 fps, one-second fps min/avg/max: 26 49 89

Yeah, probably thanks to that domain management patch by airlied. It's now just faaast. <3

Maybe we finally have enough working Gallium drivers that Intel could start switching to Gallium as well?

Could be good idea to ask Eric/Zhenyu about their Intel driver and Gallium. Will someone email them?

Intel/AMD/Gallium All Around?

That would be one heck of a note (the motherboard I have lined up as a replacement is G41-based; I'd still be holding on to my HD5450 though, as nothing's wrong with it) to have Intel and AMD using the same driver core on the FOSS side of the GPU street; however, watch nVidia try to throw a spork-shaped spanner into the works...

It is? I didn't notice any brokenness. What I did notice was lovely responsiveness in OpenArena though.

I didn't investigate, but I had too reboot using magic sysrq keys.

I can confirm:

latest r600g is much faster. Still not quite on par with classic mesa on my system, but close.

Unfortunately, the KWin effects are not working properly (very slow, like slideshow), and get automatically disabled after a while. They work fine with classic. But at least you can enable compositing now (a couple of days ago, it refused to do it).
