Benchmarks Of Nouveau's Gallium3D Driver

It's kind of moot to bench this since Gallium doesn't have working TTM manager yet as far as I can tell. It's doing everything out of memory mapped frame buffer. Some news on progress for TTM would be good. I can't find any.

Michael: Any chance we can get a comparison of 2D speed?
For example, my 8600GTS seems exceedingly slow when I use it the NVIDIA blog with KDE 4.4

If only driver development was easy, everyone would rejoice

nouveau, 2010: "Wohoo, there are applications that actually work! This is awesome!"
Nouveau isn't as mature as radeon, it has less commercial backing and it doesn't have access to official docs, either. Then again, nouveau doesn't have to care about UMS / classic mesa.
Just remember the time it took AMD to get this far and expect the same for nouveau.
Now I can not play them with oss driver because Mesa is still lack of support of OpenGL 2.0 and GLSL 1.20 for R600. I just hope mesa-7.8 is coming soon.

Thanks!
