I am not sure about uio. Sorry.
The main problem is the g2d fifo is 32 commands deep. And some of the
x11perf tests are running in our XAA s3c driver @ ~2e6 ops/sec. That is is
lot of interrupts for user or kernel context. :-)
Sometimes polling is better. 1/2 :-)
We are 1 stupid bug away from a release of s3c Xwindows fbdev + XAA +
Xvideo (using the samsung s3c-pp) and HW cursor with alpha blend.
I have not looked at the g3d but DRI is "next".
Cheers
