Err, yep slow is a nice way to put it. The question is how do I get back to the usable 2D hardware setup? Should I set KMS back up? I'm up to date with all packages except the mesa/drm/libgl packages I just downgraded 1 version. Everything was great before the update today and the drm snafu. What's the best way to get back to the config I had 24 hours ago?
I took /var/log/pacman.log and backed out all updates except the kde & gnome printer control center modules (I can't see them being related), but I'm still not back to where I was before the updates. Am I missing something?
KMS is not recommended for ATI at this moment, so we'll ship it disabled by default. There's also no stable non-experimental 2D or 3D stack supporting KMS, so we'll have to do with user mode setting. At this moment, our driver in extra is a stable released version. This released version is rather old, and there's about 10-15 commits on the stable branch that should get applied to the package. This fixes several issues, but hasn't made it into a release.
