Hint, hint, hint ......
Ok, I've built a DRI-CVS trunk:
$ XFree86 -version
[...]
XFree86 Version 4.3.99.12 (DRI trunk LXTEC)
Release Date: 10 September 2003
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6
I started X using the radeon driver with "UseFBDev" "on":
The speed in starting X is more than twice. Applications are looking
more brilliant and overall I suspect, that the speed in fact is much
higher ;-)
I have to put
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "NoPM" "yes"
EndSection
to my config, because there where warnings to the APM function (not
supported).
Ciao
