Hello everyone,
I just freshly installed Arch LInux ARM on Raspberry Pi and although I am aware the pi is not the fastest of computers, the performance I am getting is certainly not normal and much worse than it was in Raspbian.
Now I installed X with i3wm and I can actually see the individual lines being drawn on the screen one at a time. I tried glxgears and get 0.98 fps which is far below what I can find by googling should be normal on the pi. I did install the xf86-video-fbturbo-git which is supposedly faster than xf86-video-fbdev but it didn't help.
I must be doing something wrong. I would be glad if anyone could help me.
