Hi Tormod
I just wanted to confirm that this issue is resolved for my old Radeon in
latest Lucid Alpha. Concerning the slow flash - I never had swfdec installed on
that system. I use flashplugin-installer only. As far as I know, Adobe uses
OpenGL to accelerate video playback and requires some
Lucid alpha 2 works well for my COMPAQ EVO N610C, EXCEPT for the
notifications which have lines and oddities on them. The System Monitor
works well. I can change visual effects perfectly.
On Karmic, I had to install sun java (not open java) in order to be able
to switch visual effect modes. In
The messy notification in Lucid alpha2 isn't a bug, it's intentional
debugging code for the alpha. Upgrading to current lucid resolves this.
Can others confirmed that the original issue here is resolved in lucid?

I can also confirm that in Lucid Alpha 2 this bug is not an issue
anymore for Dell Inspiron 5100 with Radeon Mobility 7500. Everything
works well including notification pop-ups. The only problem that
appeared again - flash works terribly slow in Firefox. It worked well in
Jaunty, then it became
dicka, slow flash might be independent of the graphics driver - try
removing the swfdec-mozilla package (disabling in Firefox is not enough)

According to ATI, the Radeon 7200 I list previously comes with 64MB onboard
RAM. Even if it did not, I used a lower resolution and 16-bpp depth instead of
full resolution and 24-bpp.

I now have a definitve answer. I found the Maintanance and Service
Guide for my laptop. It reads: 32 MB of discrete video memory.
At least it shows, that lspci does not report the actual video memory,
and if the Xorg log doesn't report it either, answering this question is
non trivial.
The bug
I'm not sure where to look for the video ram size. I didn't find anything in
the Xorg log file.

Steve, yes, using EXA instead of disabling RenderAccel should generally
be better for performance. However, EXA has proven to perform poorly on
cards with little memory, which is why XAA is chosen by default for
these cards.

We should probably disable RenderAccel when using XAA. This might only
