Write or fix the code I'm afraid. :) There's definitely no shadow code for afb yet (but it could be a big performance win - hint, hint), and the non-shadow afb code in the fbdev driver seems broken. I'll happily integrate fixes. :) That being said, you could try 4.3.0 from http://penguinppc.org/~daniels/README and see if that's any better. Unlikely though, unfortunately, as I'm not aware of any changes in this area. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer \ Debian (powerpc), XFree86 and DRI developer Software libre enthusiast \ http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
