enable/disable options to improve framerate. Enabling DRI3 only worsens
the performance regression, and accentuates tearing.<br><br></div>I've been advised to bisect Xorg versions to pinpoint the problematic package version, but my machine is rather old (10 years) and I ran out of disk space cloning the repos to do so. I retired from the IT industry, now turned into a guitar builder, so I haven't really upgraded anything else besides hand tools, but if there's a problem in linux, I feel the need to report it.<br><br></div>In case you've encountered such a problem, I've filed reports both in lauchpad and upstream for anyone to read.<br><br></div>If this regression isn't present in Debian, please disregard this message.<br><br></div><div>Reports:<br></div>-Launchpad: <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/1610591">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/1610591</a></div>-Upstream: <a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97228">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97228</a><br><br></div>Cheers<br></div><div dir="ltr">-- <br></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature">dennis mayr<br>|mobile > +56 [9] 5867 8727</div>
