One system is running ATI drivers and the video game I use to test performance is bzflag; it runs just fine. The second system had an ATI X1900 card but was replace with an identical card as the system above (HD 4350). I followed the gentoo guides on this migration from ATI to Radeon driver, but could have muck things up. BZflag runs so slow it get's about every frame. glxgears has a score of 80 with the radeon driver and a kms kernel. When booting (drm RV710) microcode takes about a full minute to load. Strangely long, but it boots and kde is fine. I turned off nepomuk services. Both systems use hal, if that makes any difference... eselect mesa list 64bit i915 (Intel 915, 945) 64bit i965 (Intel 965, G/Q3x, G/Q4x) 64bit r300 (Radeon R300-R500) [1] classic * [2] gallium 64bit r600 (Radeon R600-R700, Evergreen) [1] classic * [2] gallium 64bit sw (Software renderer) [1] classic [2] gallium * 32bit i915 (Intel 915, 945) [1] classic * [2] gallium 32bit i965 (Intel 965, G/Q3x, G/Q4x) [1] classic * [2] gallium 32bit r300 (Radeon R300-R500) [1] classic [2] gallium * 32bit r600 (Radeon R600-R700, Evergreen) [1] classic * [2] gallium 32bit sw (Software renderer) [1] classic [2] gallium * There is not xorg.conf file being used, so maybe I need a minimal xorg.conf to get 3D acceleration working? Any benchmarks that run under both drivers that the sytems both have 2G or ram on dual processor; one is 2.4GHz the other is 2.2GHz otherwise identical. I think I munge up the /lib/radeon part of setting up the kernel (kms) for loading the microcode, but, I cannot seem to fine a url or thread where instructions are for that.... (even though I did find it over a week ago in another thread). In the kernel, under the Generic section, I have: CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="radeon" CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware" Correct? Ideas? James
