Can't enable Gallium3D on R700 (4650)

It worked for me too, thanks!

I set up Gallium using the /ppa. I couldn't find any examples of an xorg.conf for this, and I found that getting the syntax wrong causes X to refuse to start. This /etc/xorg.conf works for me:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Default screen"
Option "ForceGallium" "True"
EndSection

Cool! It works! Thank You!

I tried that, it didn't work for me. However the /radeon ppa worked.

Remove /ppa and leave just /radeon. Or better yet, remove both of them, then add /radeon and you should have gallium on by default. Tried that yesterday evening, it was working fine. Tried it with Penumbra Overture, huge performance gain.

When we can expect to see Gallium for Natty?

What about us that are on Natty?

Sacrificed midory and epiphany, re-installed xserver-xorg-input-{all,synpatics} and, voila, 1.9.99.901...
Thank You xorg-edgers...

Thank you! Works perfectly now

Exciting times ahead for radeon oss drivers.

I have the xorg-edgers/ppa and xorg-edgers/radeon ppas. I think gallium is enabled but I'm not sure. What I do know is that programs don't run as well with gallium as they did last month. Am I doing something wrong?
