This makes the whole difference in performance. By starting that service I get down to the same lousy framerates with dri from the kernel and by stopping it again the performance goes up again. So all in all the performance without F@H and with dri is 5-6 times better without F@H and without dri. > I am clueless as to why this is working now when it wasn't before... This still does not explain why this is working now when it wasn't before I compiled a kernel without dri and emerged x11-drm. But hey, it works... ;) -- Bo Andresen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
