What do you mean ? There is no way the new radeonfb would be slower
than the old one in 2.6. If you run in 8bpp, you won't get any better
without acceleration and the 2.6 radeonfb isn't accelerated (neither
the old one nor the new one). 2.4 was. I don't have time to look into
the accel code for 2.6 for now.
Regarding the fixes, just pick the 2 missing #define's in a tree without
my changes ;) I'll fix that asap in my tree.
Ben.
