I don't know why it crashes with the extras stuff - maybe the RedHat RPM includes some patches which aren't applied in XFree/DRI CVS which break the binary compatability, but it since you already have a 4.2.99 XFree86 server from there, there is no need to use the one in the extras dir, as that stuff is only for people with XFree86 4.2.1 or older. > > if i use the orignal XFree86 binary (ie.

AFAIK, the debugging enabled in the libxaa is only the debugging info generated by the compiler - there is no code changes so the slowdown must be caused by other reason. > let me know if there's anything else i should/could provide, to get this > debugged. One thing to do is analize the source RPM, As usual Mike Harris provides the patches seperately on ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing/extremely-unstable-development-code/XFree86/4.2.99.2-0.20021110.5/raw-sources-patches-specfile/ I'm afraid that Keith or Michel have to step in to fill the blanks because I feel a little lost in respect with the latest Radeon developments.
