Before PSB I had something like 20-30fps with glxgears, now I have 220-250fps, so I think that 3d module and firmware work well, but it's also too slow compared to all the Intel integrated graphic cards I've ever seen (also 945). They obtain 800-1000fps and Compiz runs well (I've tried with an Apple Macbook, first model)... No, it doesn’t hag.

The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop” ? Also, how do you benchmark psb versus vesa ? In my experience X11 applications are *much* more responsive with the psb driver. Even glxgears gets a nice framerate boost despite the 2D-only acceleration. Does your system hang like mine, i.e. the display freezes and the logs say “[mi] EQ overflowing.

Yesterday I installed the latest psb-module, 2d and 3d drivers and firmware on my Ubuntu 9.04. Now 2d and 3d accellerations work, also Compiz starts and runs. But... it's the slowest graphic card I've ever seen: glxgears gives me 220-250fps and Compiz is too slow to be used (really really slow). Also with Compiz disabled the 2d graphic is really slow. I don't know why it's so slow also with official firmware for Ubuntu 9.04. It's strange because the gma500 works very very well in Windows XP and also in Windows 7, with Aero interface enabled.

The vesa driver doesn't have a resolution/mode to match my LCD touch screen, which totally screws everything up, so to me, that is a huge and critical benefit to having a working psb driver. Without that driver, my CF-U1 is basically a brick to me with Linux, so this makes it look like I might have to switch to Ubuntu for any kind of support :( Although I haven’t had a chance yet, I was really looking forward to getting your package working on my Panasonic CF-U1.
