           Summary: AGP KMS x11 video perf problem.
           Product: DRI
           Version: XOrg CVS
          Platform: x86 (IA32)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: DRM/Radeon
        AssignedTo: dri-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: lists@andyfurniss.entadsl.com


RV670 AGP running git ddx, xserver, libdrm and drt + nopat/AGP ttm caching fix
patch. Problem is not new.

I think there is a caching problem with KMS that does not happen with UMS which
makes video that doesn't use xv like flash or mplayer -vo x11 eat too much Cpu.

A partial work around can be achieved by disabling accel UTS, but it's still
not as good as UMS.

Some top figures - this is with mplayer -vo x11 704x576@25fps Cpu is single
core 2.1GHz.

UMS

Cpu(s): 18.7%us,  2.3%sy,  0.0%ni, 79.0%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st

KMS + ExaNoUploadToScreen

Cpu(s): 36.3%us,  0.3%sy,  0.0%ni, 63.3%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st

Will try and get a useful sysprof current effort just says in kernel for the
last case.

pool allocator to improve AGP performance.

Does this kernel patch help your performance problems? It is made against
vanila git sources.

To profile kernel you will need 1.1.5 version of sysprofile and kernel debug
symbols.

Yes, that does fix it, KMS with UTS enabled is now the same as UMS.

KMS + ExaNoUploadToScreen is unchanged.

Ahh, I was hoping to get away with the stable as I can't compile the newer one
- it doesn't like my old gtk AFAICT.
