The Cost Of ATI Kernel Mode-Setting On Fedora 12

Courtesy Linux Today  Wed, 11/25/2009 - 21:04

Phoronix: "In particular, when using the ATI kernel mode-setting driver in Fedora 12 (which is the default for pre-R600 hardware), there is a large performance discrepancy compared to using the traditional user-space mode-setting for ATI Radeon hardware.

Today we are looking at what exactly the performance cost is for using ATI KMS in this new release."
