So I am guessing that it is only for latest generation cpu's with at least two cores or more...
So in short, no, I'd give up on trying to get a software renderer running well on that laptop. You're probably looking at about 10% of the performance of this machine, and even that was only playable at very low resolutions.

I ask because it would be nice to have something extra for my old P4 laptop with a Radeon 345M (which is apparently R100, making it worse than my current Intel 945 card I believe).

This article is particularly interesting, as I actually have an ATI Radeon X1950PRO 256MB graphics card...

@roc:
Well... let's say... my evergreen is now a ?150 framebuffer with the FLOSS driver stack x'D
And KDE 4.4.x looks so... shiny with desktop effects and my Phenom 9950 X4 should be able to drag it...

I've been wondering for years why graphics performance on here has been sucky, until I found out that little bit. <rant>If it doesn't do T&L, it's not a Radeon!</rant>

Not sure, it depends on the game/app you want to run. Some apps work, some others don't. We usually try to fix bugs as we come across them or get told about them. The worst bug is the one we don't know about...

More test programs: Super Maryo Chronicles
My kid loves playing SMC (Super Maryo Chronicles) on my computer, so he'll use 'switch user' to get his own login on there. Unfortunately, the performance is so sucky, that he's given up on it for now.
And I'm not willing to let him login to my account either!
So, my question is, how well does the r300g driver work with an X1650, AMD Athlon X2 5200, 4gb RAM, 1280x1024 display? I'm also running Ubuntu 10.04 with the xorg-edgers repository for my MESA and other drivers.
I'd love to try the r300g driver as well and see how the performance is.
Would it be possible to include games like SMC into your mix as well? It's OpenGL, but a different sort of stress compared to the others.
Thanks,
John
