FC14 good/bad news

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I installed FC14 in a VM, on a 7.7GB disk image. After that was installed and 
tested to some extent, I copied the image to an 8GB SD memory and booted off it. 
Worked with the micro-SD in an adaptor to full size SD, and in a micro-SD to USB 
nubbin. When I installed I made the filesystems ext2 to avoid beating the 
storage, other than that stock install.

Now I can select enhanced effects for video, and they work fine (for values of 
fine considering I wanted to see if they work, not that I want them on). 
However, the display is still dog slow, glxgears runs at 60fps, video is jerky, 
etc. So the "better" video now doesn't crash, does provide effects I don't need, 
and is still too slow to be useful, even on a non-game machine. So much for not 
using vendor drivers.

System is i7-950, 12GB RAM, Radeon HD 4350 video, used as a VM host most of the 
time. Not a killer machine, not a dog.

I will be doing some testing to see if the newer KVM is any better in a 
measurable way, but when VNC to a machine with fast video is better than 
console, there is room for improvement.
