Same here... heh... more than I was hoping for to be sure, but, it's
all fun.
Both the man and info pages are useful for the i810 driver to
some extent. Examples and specific information on the functions
of commands might have been explained a bit better for the
general users.
I found interesting the information about the module used for
your particular setup. This would give me away for running a
tainted version. This was before the 24 depth setting restored
functionality for the stock binaries that were compiled for this
version of X.
To clarify things to me, are you getting the refresh problem with
setting to 24 depth? This sounds reverse to my situation.
Yes, the "16 Bit, DRI=yes" mode is my best mode and what I've been
using exclusively for the past week or so. It's been that long
since I tried 24 Bit mode and I was rather surprised to find a
problem with it yesterday. I suspect something's changed with the
latest version, or two, of Xorg-X11* as I was using 24 Bit a few
weeks ago off and on just to check the performance differences
between the two modes.
As a note: I added the DRI option to the xorg.conf file and am
going to see if this allows me to see what DRI enabling will do
at 16 depth on this computer.
I saw your notes on the
freedesktop.org/bugzilla/ bugs. Pretty
darned messed up, isn't it?
