Slow graphics with Slackware 13.37 and Radeon Mobility X1600
Hi,
I've upgraded (reinstalled) from Slackware 13.1 to 13.37 on an old iMac and have problems with slow graphics.
lspci says this about the graphics card:
Code:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M56P [Radeon Mobility X1600]
With Slackware 13.1 I had no KMS enabled and graphics speed was okay. It wasn't very good, but okay for everyday work. Now with 13.37 it's extremely slow. glxgears runs with only around 38 fps, no matter what I do. And every now and then when logging off, I get a black screen and no new kdm-login. But I can ssh into that machine and restart X by issuing 'init 3;init 4'.
KMS is enabled (I've also tried disabling it, but then KDE crashes right after logging in) and it's a fresh installation of 13.37 with a 2.6.37.6 kernel.
What can I do?
I have to admin I don't know this video and X stuff very well and I used to have machines with NVIDIA cards, so these Radeon problems are completely new to me.
If there's anything else than the usual Xorg.0.log needed, please tell me.
To me the log doesn't look like there's any problem whatsoever:
