Is the framebuffer accelerated with a Radeon [9700]? I got it to work but it was very slow compared to not using it. This would make things that spew lots of text (like compiles) take much longer, so even though it was beautiful I preferred not to use it. Did I misconfigure it?
Not sure, I'm running 2.6.0-test5. I haven't really had time to make any kind of judgement. I got the console to come up in frame buffer mode, logged in and thats about it. I'm using a similar card as yours. The console didn't seem overy slow, but plain text mode is probably still faster.
As far as directfb goes, I saw on the web site that initial radeon acceleration support is working, however I still have a good bit of reading to do before I get gtk+ apps,ect working on the console.
