Betreff: [dyne:bolic] radeon mobility 7500 - enabling direct rendering
I've managed to run radeon mobility 7500 with direct rendering (I
have IBM ThinkPad T30 with "such old" ATI card). It raised speed of my
PDP routine from 14 up to 25 fps.
Don't know, if it is 100% correct. Maybe it will help someone with
same card and d:b running on it.
I changed only xorg.conf (MAKE BACKUP BEFORE STARTING AND MAKE SURE
YOU KNOW HOW TO MAKE USE OF IT IF SOMETHING FAIL!).
Cheers
Luke
