Commands do use bandwidth -- remember the mapping of"vertex/indirect and ring buffers in the Xorg.0.log? Those are in AGP. Now, let's take for example ipers. On my highly untuned system, I'm seeing 400,000 polys/sec. Each vertex has at least 3 coordinates plus two texture coordinates, and I bet a color as well, so let's say (8 * 4) bytes/vert * 4 vert/poly (I think it's drawing quads) * > 400,000 polys/sec. That's 51MB/sec -- not that big compared to even my 1x AGP, and this is an app designed to spew lots of vertices, but still is bandwidth used. And that's with (I'm pretty sure) a bad compile of Mesa, and we've had to disable some of the optimizations for producing vertices quickly in exchange for new features (3d textures). However, as always, glxgears is still the wrong thing to test with. > > And even not > > loading glx & dri modules. > > Not helps, still > (WW) RADEON(0): Static buffer allocation failed -- need at least 17325 > kB video memory Sounds like you made a mistake in configuration -- that only happens if the DRI was enabled. -- Eric Anholt eta@lclark.edu http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ anholt@FreeBSD.org
