2007-01-25I think we can say r300 support is not experimentalAlex Deucher
2007-01-25update man page. fixes bug 6457Alex Deucher
Most cards support 2D and 3D now
2007-01-04radeon: fixup fastwrites to be always offDave Airlie
My 8500 in i845 doesn't work with fastwrites even setup by the firmware.
2006-12-19radeon: Default to leaving AGP transfer mode and fast writes unchanged.Michel Dänzer
Based on the assumption that firmware should have set up the card and host bridge appropriately for these settings, this may actually be safer, at least for the transfer rate; leaving fast writes enabled is hopefully safe as well, it certainly is on my sytem. See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9284 .
2006-11-29radeon: bug #1462, predownscale to make HD video work.Roland Scheidegger
Use the overlay scaler's predownscale capability to make videos with large horizontal resolution work if it exceeds the scaler buffer width. Make the scaler buffer width user-configurable since we don't know it for all chips, and using predownscaling may otherwise reduce quality even if it wouldn't be needed. This should fix bug #1462.
2006-06-18Implement accelerated EXA DownloadFromScreen hook.Michel Dänzer
x11perf -getimage numbers only increase by about 20-30% on my PowerBook with an M9, but by about 100 times(!) with a PCIe X550. I suspect the former could perform better with PCI as opposed to AGP transfers, which would also remove the need to disable this by default with AGP.
2006-06-18Take part of the blame for the radeon driver.Michel Dänzer
2006-06-18Add Option "DepthBits".Michel Dänzer
This allows getting higher depth buffer precision and stencil hardware acceleration in depth 16 or saving some video RAM at the cost of these features in depth 24.

2005-10-17Use sed & cpp to substitute variables in driver man pagesAlan Coopersmith
2005-09-11Add support for EXA to the radeon driver. Building EXA and XAA support isEric Anholt
controlled at compile time, plus the runtime option of Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" or "XAA". The XAA support appears to remain as before, while the EXA pieces need just a little more polishing. Notable features: - Render acceleration working on Radeon 100 and 200-series with DRI on. - DRI works with EXA Notable issues: - DGA disabled in the EXA case. - Backbuffer moves disabled in the EXA case. - No textured XVideo. - MMIO render acceleration is close but still has some issues. - Memory pressure while using Composite is really troublesome with DRI on. This patch is based on an initial patch by Zack Rusin, with significant work by Benjamin Herrenschmidt and myself.

2005-01-26(Stephane Marchesin, me) Add support for color (framebuffer) tiling.Roland Scheidegger
Convert all XAA accel code to use explicit dst and src offset pitch control to make it work. Use the new drm surface ioctls to set up the tiled surfaces (if dri is enabled).
2004-12-19- Add support for Dualhead on M3/M4 (bug 1760)Alex Deucher
2004-12-17- Add VGAAccess option to r128 driver. Based on Benh's radeon patch. r128Alex Deucher
should now work on ppcs without usefbdev. To use this on ppc make sure you set "usefbdev" to false. (bug 2089) - Apply Benjamin Herrenschmidt's radeon patches (bug 2064)
2004-12-12- add AGP 8x support (Hui Yu, Michel Daenzer) bug 1819Alex Deucher
2004-12-12- only mess with Dynamicclocks on mobility chips (Benh, me) bug 1912Alex Deucher
- fix display detection (Hui Yu) bug 1559 - Add new option "BIOSHotkeys" to allow the bios to control output switching (off by default) bug 2000 - update the savage man page to document the "CrtOnly" option
2004-12-06When direct rendering is enabled, use hostdata blits to transfer data fromMichel Daenzer
system memory to video RAM, which should reduce CPU usage especially with larger videos. Can be disabled via Option "DMAForXv" if there should be any stability issues, but it's been stable for me during a week of testing. Based on a patch by Nikolaus Meine <meine@tnt.uni-hannover.de>. Probably fix endianness issues in some newer XVideo code, untested. Also use hostdata blits to transfer RENDER image data to video RAM to avoid idling the accelerator engine. Increases RENDER performance significantly for me. These changes were only tested on an M9 in a Titanium PowerBook but should work with all Radeons where direct rendering is supported.

2004-07-26- Add Radeon DynamicClocks optionAlex Deucher
- Add small fixes and clean ups from ati's last code drop (typo_fixes, remove_fudge, laptop, xvfix) - fix possible segfault in mga_dri.c (Ryan Underwood) - Add Xv support to pre-nm2160 neomagic chipsets
2004-06-20Bug #748:Eric Anholt
- Add Render acceleration for Radeon 100 and 200-series cards, enabled by default. Notable performance gains include 27fps in cairogears instead of 6fps (compared to 50 with glitz), and my disks are now the bottleneck in an ls -lR in gnome-terminal. Only supported in DRI mode because the MMIO submission hangs the card so far, but the code is left in because it may be supportable soon. - Add xorg.conf options to disable Render acceleration and to force the subpixel order in the server (Hui Yu). Many thanks to Hui Yu at ATI for the code this was based off of, Michel Daenzer for bugfixes and suggestions, and LinuxFund for sponsoring the work.
2004-06-16Merge DRI-trunk-20040613 changes in programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers,Eric Anholt
with the following notes: - Savage and Mach64 (= ati/ati*.[ch] changes) DRI not merged due to insecurity. - VIA driver converted to new drmContext and drmHandle names. - Radeon driver merge conflicted in many places, and MergedFB at least could probably use some checking at this point.
