Radeon X.Org 7.4.0 Driver Brings More Tiling, R300/R500 GLAMOR

AFAIR R300/R500 has a dedicated 2D engine. Won't the switch to Glamor slow down things?

I can't be sure that glamor which is now part of xserver 1.16 remain fully compatibile with r300/r500 . Support for r300/r500 is added for glamor lib, but as i see there are raised requirements now for xserver glamor when compared with glamor lib (i don't think r300 works correctly even with glamor lib). So someone need to test is that even work in xserver 1.16 for these chips : rolleyes:

I would request some benchmarks on this.

Does R600 have tiling enabled by default?
