The classic r300 driver has been abandoned long ago. It was replaced by the Gallium driver r300g.
If you have issues with r300g please file a new bug report with component Drivers/Gallium/r300 Thanks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/544496 Title: [RS100] desktop became slow after upgrading to Lucid Status in X.org XServer - ATI gfx chipset driver: Won't Fix Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in Debian GNU/Linux: Won't Fix Bug description: [Problem] Switching to KMS as the default for radeon causes a performance regression, seen with compiz enabled or with 3D games. This is caused by the new vline support which prevents tearing with Xv but reduces performance as a consequence. [Workarounds] Pick your poison: * Disable compiz * Disable kms (grub: radeon.modeset=0) * Patch to revert the vline change * Wait for DRI2 page flipping support which will give better results for full-screen apps Situation on Maverick is worse on some chips. [Original Report] Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati I upgraded my laptop to Lucid somewhere around Alpha 2. The first thing that I noticed is that the display was much slower than in Karmic. I tried to run with and without modesetting, but there is no difference. Compositing worked fine in Karmic, however it is useless in Lucid, which means that performance of both 2D and 3D regreessed. CPU load of Xorg is high as soon as there is some activity on the screen. I was also trying to enable different options in xorg.conf (http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATIRadeon) with no success.
