#2769: Radeon driver is Slower than VESA ... ---------------------------------------+--------------------------- Reporter: herdemir | Owner: euan Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Drivers/Graphics/radeon | Version: R1/pre-alpha1 Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: 7662 Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All ---------------------------------------+--------------------------- Comment (by mks): Replying to [comment:25 stippi]: > If memory serves, app_server allocates a frame buffer region double the height of the visible area, and then the lower half is used as back buffer. This would make sense in the context of what I have seen on the R61. Maybe it uses a wrong height somewhere. > I think a good criterium should be the memory writing (and/or reading) speed to the video card memory. Should be easy to check and implement and then it just needs more testing one a broader range of hardware. To me it seems this depends on the driver used rather than the hardware generation, i.e. the intel_extreme and s3 seem to work fine, but some others, like the radeon_hd don't (yet?). Couldn't this possibly be enabled on a per-driver base? -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/2769#comment:26> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
