When starting X, everything is really slow. Dragging windows produces an astonishing
amount of lag, and CPU usage is really high when idle (50-75%). Opening Firefox takes the
CPU to 100%, and trying to scroll the page in a simple HTML page is impossible. This is
happening with a G3 processor, but, as far as I know, it shouldn't be that slow. I am
pretty sure that hardware acceleration is not working. This is confirmed by an error
message during boot, that I attach below. An OpenBSD installation has the exact same
problem, with the exact same error.
The machine is an iBook G3 "Snow"
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon 7500
Installed drivers are xf86-video-ati and mesa

Nicolas,
> Thank you very much, Phil. I downloaded the blob and manually copied it to
/usr/lib/firmware/radeon as root. However, I keep getting the same error. Is there
anything I might be doing wrong here?
The kernel won't usually search there (unless you ask it to).
Try using either /lib/firmware/radeon, or
/lib/firmware/${RELEASE}/radeon, where ${RELEASE}
is the name of the kernel version that you also
see in the kernel modules path (/lib/modules/${...}/...}).
Cheers,
Phil

Are these binary blobs architecture-independent? Maybe the binary does not work in
PowerPC?
