[Gerald Nunn <gnunn@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My mistake, I was reading the date at the beginning as the score on my
mobile. I backed out all my changes and ran the glmark again and got a
score of 1020, so in not much difference between the before and after. I
did run Grimrock and it did run much better, previously anything other then
the special "Low" setting it has was a slideshow, this time I was able to
actually move past Low. Additionally the new code brings the dpm
capabilities which works well.

I'm just disappointed that the radeon card in the PMD still feels sluggish
in Gnome Shell compared to the Intel HD 4000 I use every day at work. I'm
going to try benchmarking the Intel card later today just as a comparison
point.

Thanks again for the input.

Gerald
