Can anyone else get favorable accelerated video graphics using Xorg driver modesetting?

ReaperX7 · 04-19-2016, 05:13 AM

As a test to see how my graphics card, a GeForce GTX 460, would perform, I tried using the Xorg default driver "modesetting" with Option "AccelMethod" "glamor" to see how well things would perform using the EGL stack and the results were favorable in my tests.

Mesa was properly loading the dri3 driver for Nouveau, I was getting about 300FPS @ 60Hz with glxgears, and there were no issues at all during startup of Xorg.

I'm not at my desktop at the moment, but tomorrow I'll post a few readouts and logs, as well as my custom 11-modesetting.conf file.

Has anyone else with AMD and/or Intel video graphics tried the modesetting driver with glamor EGL acceleration enabled with favorable results?

As promised:

/etc/X11/xorg/conf.d/11-modesetting.conf

Code:

Section "Device"
        Identifier "nvidia"
        Driver "modesetting"
        Option "SWCursor" "false"
        Option "kmsdev" "/dev/dri/card0"
        Option "ShadowFB" "false"
        Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
        Option "PageFlip" "true"
        Option "ZaphodHeads" "DVI-I-1,DVI-I-2,HDMI-1"
EndSection

Readout logs are attached.

Logs are showing full 2D and 3D acceleration through glamor, and no issues with driver.
