I, after following the steps in the radeon_howto, have compiled the /sys/src/cmd/aux/vga utility and a 386 pcf kernel in /sys/src/9/pc/ successfully and booted off of newer kernel, which seems to be working fine. Now, how do I test, benchmark and, or profile this radeon driver against a generic one? OTOH, I have edited the radeon_howto a bit, to make it somewhat handy for the users of 'acme' in particular; one can simply right click on the quoted file names and, or paths to edit and, or open the same in 'acme'. Here at http://werc.homelinux.net/hacks/plan9/radeon_howto is modified version of the same for your kind reference and a bundle of other requisite files at http://werc.homelinux.net/hacks/plan9/radeon.tar.gz -- Balwinder S "bdheeman" Dheeman Registered Linux User: #229709 Anu'z li...@home (Unix Shoppe) Machines: #168573, 170593, 259192 Chandigarh, UT, 160062, India Plan9, T2, Arch/Debian/FreeBSD/XP Home: http://werc.homelinux.net/ Visit: http://counter.li.org/
