I'm experiencing similar issues on my powerbook5,6 with an ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10] card which is supported by the r300 driver.
Even though glxinfo reports that direct rendering is working, I only get around 35fps from glxgears and ~0.5fps in games like ppracer and neverball. I've heard numerous reports that the R300 driver now is stable and provides good 3d acceleration for these cards. Johannes Berg even reports to have 3d acceleration working on his identical PowerBook (http://johannes.sipsolutions.com/PowerBook). So my question is this: is the (latest?) r300 driver even included in Edgy? My Xorg.0.log seems to suggest otherwise: (WW) RADEON(0): Enabling DRM support *** Direct rendering support is highly experimental for Radeon 9500 *** and newer cards. The 3d mesa driver is not provided in this tree. *** A very experimental (and incomplete) version is available from Mesa CVS. *** Additional information can be found on http://r300.sourceforge.net *** This message has been last modified on 2005-08-07. I would guess that this message is from some old version of the r300 driver, but I'm not sure... ** Attachment added: "Xorg.0.log" http://librarian.launchpad.net/6738047/Xorg.0.log -- ATI radeon: poor 3D performance https://launchpad.net/bugs/56692 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
