X.org 6.8.2 was released yesterday and is available in portage now (in the '~ppc' profile). It also includes a patch that should fix the problems with the DRI Radeon driver on big-endian machines. The new Radeon driver should prove to be significantly faster than the old one, making most (open source) 3D games fully playable on the Pegasos II equipped with a Radeon 9x00.

Add the following lines to your device section to improve OpenGL performance (suggested by Marcin 'Morgoth' Kurek):
Option "BackingStore" "true"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "true"

And what about the PCI mode option? Still necessary?

Yes, since there is no AGP driver for the Pegasos.

I compiled 6.8.2
Now the opengl apps in enlightenment work properly Before I just got cyan and magenta trash ^^; ( evas_gl_x11_test )


What it really helped were those 2 options. What's are they? The glxgears test increased performance from 330 fps to 450 fps! From 75 to 110 fps at full screen (Radeon 9200, Peg-2 G3)

Thank u!

Wow! Evas running OpenGL?! That's something I wanted! It will increase performance with Engage and Entrance too!
@hawk:
Since I verified I haven't compiled the kernel to run fbsplash and I don't want to, is it possible to run Entrance soon after OF boot? Have you tried it?

Haven't tried Entrance. I don't use graphical login managers I just go and type startx

I use engage with fluxbox. But the GL version of Engage still looks magenta! Now I can see the icons, but still buggy... mmm... but evas test is ok.... I ll try to take a look at it.

cu!

Option "EnablePageFlip" "true" - this enables hardware page flipping. Otherwise to update the display basically X does a blit - significantly slower to copy the framebuffer to another position, than to just say "now use this address".

Option "BackingStore" "true" - this lets the server remember occlusion on windows, so it doesn't need to send events to the client in order to redraw uncovered portions of windows (basically when you drag a window over another, it saves what was underneath, and when you drag back away, it puts it back. This is a lot quicker than doing several roundtrips over the X protocol)
