AMD R600/700 DRM Interrupts Support Pushed
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the underlying features that has been
| lacking from the ATI R600/700 DRM / kernel
| mode-setting driver on Linux has been support
| for interrupts, which is needed for the sync-
| to-vblank operation and other important
| areas.

The Cost Of ATI Kernel Mode-Setting On Fedora 12
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the articles on Phoronix last week
| was entitled Intel Linux Graphics Shine
| With Fedora 12, which showed off the nice
| state of Intel graphics on this latest Red
| Hat release when it came to kernel mode-
| setting and its 3D stack with it working
| well "out of the box" and offering some
| nice performance gains over the earlier
| Fedora 10 and Fedora 11 releases. While
| the Intel stack may be improved in
| Constantine, the ATI support has taken a
| hit, as users were quick to point out in
| response to last week's article. In
| particular, when using the ATI kernel
| mode-setting driver in Fedora 12 (which is
| the default for pre-R600 hardware), there
| is a large performance discrepancy
| compared to using the traditional user-
| space mode-setting for ATI Radeon
| hardware. Today we are looking at what
| exactly the performance cost is for using
| ATI KMS in this new release.
