He didn't provide any numbers though. For all chipsets which have an accelerated driver in X 4, it's almost certainly faster than anything else - and also for the others it should be faster than X 3.3.x . > > Did these sources you have compiled include the DRI Drivers ? > > Don't know - I did a make "World" so I guess that should have built everything?

For DRI, you may have to edit even more files in config/cf/, AFAIK DRI is only built on i386 by default. Michel -- #include ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
