Thread: radeon open source driver 3D performance on ATI 9800 Pro

hey,

there here agp ati radeon 9800 (pro) card using open source radeon driver , caring share experience? terrible performance among 3d applications, presumably because of faulty setup. radeon driver can not possibly bad, can it?

upgrading 9.04 or .10 lucid lynx (10.04), running plain fluxbox dri supposedly enabled:

code:

kallew@rom:~$ glxinfo name of display: :0.0 display: :0  screen: 0 direct rendering: yes server glx vendor string: sgi server glx version string: 1.2 server glx extensions: ... client glx vendor string: mesa project , sgi client glx version string: 1.4 client glx extensions: ... glx version: 1.2 glx extensions: ... opengl vendor string: dri r300 project opengl renderer string: mesa dri r300 (r350 4e48) 20090101 x86/mmx+/3dnow!+/sse tcl dri2 opengl version string: 1.5 mesa 7.7.1 opengl extensions: ...

running glxgears leaves me around 300, @ 600fps per 5 seconds. 3d applications worldwind practically not usable , leave cpu running @ 100%.

there no measurable difference me between exa , xaa - "enablepageflip" on - setting "colortiling" "1" gives me bosst around 300fps 600fps. quite strange because according "man radeon" setting should enabled default.

tried using empty xorg.conf, system generated 1 , adjustments around 600fps tops. is, iirc, around 1/10 or less of once got.

code:

kallew@rom:~$ cat /etc/x11/xorg.conf section "device"     identifier    "configured video device"     driver        "radeon"     busid        "pci:1:0:0"     option        "agpmode" "4"     option          "dynamicclocks"            "on"     option        "colortiling"            "1" endsection  section "monitor"     identifier    "configured monitor"     option        "dpms"        "true" endsection  section "screen"     identifier    "default screen"     monitor        "configured monitor"     device        "configured video device"     defaultdepth    24     subsection    "display"         depth    16         modes    "1920x1200 1600x1200 1024x768 800x600 600x480"     endsubsection     subsection    "display"         depth    24         modes    "1920x1200"     endsubsection endsection  section "dri"     mode    0666 endsection

there no difference with:

code:

kallew@rom:~$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf options radeon modeset=0

nor reinstalling

code:

kallew@rom:~$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-video-radeon xserver-xorg-core

nor using

code:

ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates

the loaded modules seem okay, running agp radeon 9800 pro on asus a7s333 sis chipset, athlon xp 2200+ , 1gb ram.

code:

i not expect get gazillion fps , know glxgears no benchmark, current performance plain wrong. there problem on side or open source driver under lucid lynx not suitable 3d related? information on ubuntu.net @ least got me hoping ...

help!

am missing obvious here? hint in right direction sufficient.
