Ah! That bug! That's the reason I left Debian. When the XFree86
switch to Xorg, Debian switched something and my G450 went from the
fasted screaming video card to one of the worse pigs.

Julien,
Close it. I switched to Source Mage, became a developer, lost my job,
resigned as developer, etc....
I've got two finals today....
Thanks for asking.

Ok, closing then.
Thank you!

Package: x11r6
Version: X11R6
Severity: important
When using the old XFree86 X11R6 my G450 was working
in Direct Rendering (~620 fps running glxgears).
Now, glxgears runs smoothly for about 2 seconds, then
starts ``stepping'' at about one cog per second.
glxgears no longer displays frame rate. This is a
*very* useful tool for debugging whether GL is actually
operating correctly or not. I would estimate my
value would be at 0.1 or less--in other words, slower
than my 333MHz laptop using Mesa Indirect rendering!!!!
Old XF86Config-4 file doesn't work for xorg.conf.
System doesn't appear to be capable of using dual-monitor
yet. X11R6 is all but unusable!
Thank you. (I'll be happy to send any info from this
Debian and the one I'm trying to replace. My disks are
removable and I run two matching drives. old/new)
