[ltp] Poor 3D support after kernel upgrade on FireGL

[Bill Moseley]

I've been using the method Phil recommended here in May
to provide 3D support for my T60p running Hardy.

    http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9951

I'm using the "ati" driver and using

    Option          "AccelMethod"   "EXA"

in my xorg.xonf file.


During the time it was working I had one kernel update, and all that
was needed was to recompile the DRM module.

After my last update, though, video became very slow -- I could hardly
drag an xterm and that action would cause xorg to consume all CPU.

I did indeed recompile the DRM module and even repeated all step in
the forum article above.

I commented out the AccelMethod and the slowness went away, but my
glxgears is about 1400fps.  Previously it was about 2500fps or more
with AccelMethod enabled above.  (With the fglrx driver I was getting
over 4000fps.)

Anyone else notice this change?  Any idea why the AccelMethod EXA no
longer works?
