On Xaccel 4.01, 1280x1024x32 - 1860rpm. No screen problems. No XFree86 Permedia2 support I know of, but if I can get the necessary info... I should divide this by 1 < N < 2. When (re)drawing, both CPUs can get into the act (pumping data thru the UnixDomain socket, for example), although the XSync() wrapping the draw operations will cut down on the available parallelism. How about, if there is really interest in this sort of thing, someone volunteers to collect everyones xengine scores (define some standard template format) and then post a summary in a few weeks? I hereby *DO NOT* volunteer to do this. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
