Your patch doesn't apply clearly over rc1-mm1 or rc1-mm2 (too many hunks failed), so I've tryied to patch vanilla rc1. Reboot was ok, without any warning or error about framebuffer. I use XFree from debian experimental (4.3.0-0pre1v4) and now it appears more smooth than with 2.4.23-ck1! (thanks a lot!!!) At system startup I always choose video=sisfb:1024x768x256 to show linux logo but if I try to boot without it, all characters aren't displayed very well... Glxgears shows me 250 Fps (exactly as 2.4), but when cpu (p4m 1.6 ghz) reachs 100%, ALT-TAB switching between apps is not fluid like with 2.4... Probably it's a scheduler issue... However, it's a great job!!! So, what about your patches in 2.6 mainline ? Ok ok ... only another question... :) Do you have some news about DRI for my SiS chipset? glxinfo shows me: ------------------------------ D998:/home/io# glxinfo name of display: :0.0 Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: No server glx vendor string: SGI server glx version string: 1.2 server glx extensions: .... TIA, Jorge PS: sorry for all lexical mistakes I made...
