Hi,
I'm running 11-CURRENT with a AMD HD6870 (i7 2600k and 8GB RAM) with x11-wm/i3 as WM. Syscons and and X works quite nice except for some issues:
Video playing (full HD) lags a bit and so does quick scrolling in Chromium and Firefox. Not always but depending on the website.
It's the same lag as with the video player (
It gets much worse in Gnome3. The whole UI more sluggish.
Quick reboot to Fedora live USB to check and there I can't reproduce the stutter/lag when scrolling through a web page.
I am at work now and can't post the xorg.conf but are there some pointers for additional acceleration?
Or would switching to nVidia fix the UI sluggishness because of the better driver nVidia provides?

It's the same lag as with the video player (
vlc
or smplayer
) and it is noticeable because you see the lines get redrawn too slow (not sure how this effect is called).It gets much worse in Gnome3. The whole UI more sluggish.
