Hi,

After a bit of messing about, I managed to get DRI working on my Mobile Radeon 
7500 (XFree86 4.2.1 from a fairly recent Debian sarge snapshot, custom 2.4.20 
kernel).

Unfortunately, the performance isn't wonderful. On similar hardware, a 
GeForce2 Go gives about 700 fps under glxgears. I get about 400-500 with the 
Radeon, even though the Radeon is supposed to be faster than the GeForce (It 
certainly is under XP).

The laptop is a 1.7GHz Mobile P4, 512MB DDR RAM and has an Intel 845 
motherboard.

Is poor performance a known problem? Any ideas how to improve the performance?

If I set LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose, I get the following:

libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 4.0.1 radeon (screen 0)
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/radeon_dri.so
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/radeon_dri.so
drmOpenByBusid: busid is PCI:1:0:0
drmOpenDevice: minor is 0
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is 5, (OK)
drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns 5
drmOpenByBusid: drmGetBusid reports PCI:1:0:0
2109 frames in 5.0 seconds = 421.800 FPS

Thanks and Merry Christmas :)
