Description of problem: glxinfo | grep render direct rendering: Yes OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer The radeon open source driver isn't working... launching (for example) a game like nexuiz results in looooooow frame rate (software render....) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel 2.6.27.0-3 fc10 from koji build system
What kind of radeon adapter is it? Not all of them are supported...
It's well supported by DRI :) it's a radeon X1050 (so a 9550 rebranded) with R300 chip :) Obviously with older kernels works very very nice :) kernel 2.6.26.6-67-fc9 output: [carlo@karlworkstation ~]$ glxinfo | grep render direct rendering: Yes OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 20060815 AGP 8x x86/MMX+/3DNow!+/SSE2 TCL
I've just given a try to kernel-2.6.27-13.fc10 from koji because I saw this: * Wed Oct 15 2008 Dave Airlie <airlied> - radeon modesetting agp support but nothing to do...same problem.. Maybe is not a nice idea testing fedora 10 kernels in fedora 9 environment? Please tell me if fedora 9 + rawhide kernel is the problem, so I'll stop this bug report. ...but I remember that when I tested out fedora 10 beta 1, the video was slow...perhaps the problem is in full rawhide too...
I have the same problem with Fedora rawhide. Fedora 9 use R300 driver. glxinfo | grep render direct rendering: Yes OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer glxgears 808 frames in 5.0 seconds = 161.589 FPS 912 frames in 5.0 seconds = 182.259 FPS My card : 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS485 [Radeon Xpress 1100 IGP]
you can't run F10 kernels in modesetting on F9. Boot with nomodeset.
