I was able to expand the file system with resize2fs to the new size of the disk image after qemu-img resize.
Code: Select all
resize2fs fienix_6.0.1-noboot-r1.img

I updated the "noboot" image on March 8. With this image, I believe you should be able to dd it to a partition, then run "fsck -f -y /dev/partition", then "resize2fs /dev/partition" without the large space requirement.

I think, it could work if I dd it to a large partition but in the superblock on the img itself, there is an entry with a bigger size than the disk image is so it can’t boot from the disk image directly.

Are there some tips how to speedup Fienix? I have to look for system services.
Glxgears with Fienix + Mate has cca 1200 FPS and Debian Sid + Mate cca 2200 FPS with the same card. Also my feeling is that fienix desktop is a liitle slower.
Link to the thread:
Fienix 6.0.1 - X1000 thread
Do you have the same experiences?

Nope... I tested with Fienix6, MintPPC, Ubuntu16 and Void, and got the same result (60 FPS) with all of them. The graphics card was a Radeon HD 6450.
Could the difference seen by sailor be related to altivec, as she has a X1000? Whether it is used or not on a certain distro...?

Roland,
Have you tested glxgears with
vblank_mode=0?
Thanks,

With that option I get quite different results:
Code: Select all
Fienix6 2000 FPS
MintPPC 2900 FPS
Ubuntu16 2100 FPS
Void 3300 FPS
