R600 Radeon / Gallium3D 2D Color Tiling Testing out the latest R600+ Radeon / Gallium3D 2D Color tiling with the latest Git of drm-next, Mesa 8.1-devel Git master, and xf86-video-ati Git as of 15 March. Comparing same stack when enabling ColorTiling and ColorTiling2D from the Radeon xorg.conf as well as setting R600_SURF=1 environment variable. Testing with a Radeon HD 4890 and Radeon HD 6950. Benchmarking by Michael Larabel for a future article on Phoronix.com.
