I'll have to ask someone else to do help me out with this, as this machine has no more disk space to store repos, not enough power to compile quickly, and not enough time off-production to do both.
I'll get back here as soon as I can. -- 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/1610591 Title: Video acceleration regression for Radeon Xpress 200M (r300) in xorg- lts-xenial & xorg-lts-wily Status in xserver-xorg-driver-ati: Unknown Status in xserver-xorg-video-ati package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After updating the Ubuntu HWE stack in 14.04 to Xenial (kernel 4.4 and xserver-xorg-video-radeon-lts-xenial), system boots up fine and responsively, but screen is laggy; there is a tremendous performance regression in comparison to xorg-lts-vivid. Lots of video tearing that did not occur when using xserver-xorg-video-radeon-lts-vivid. System is an older Pentium laptop (Packard Bell EasyNote) with a Radeon Xpress 200M chip (r300 driver). Video acceleration was working with DRI2 under the Vivid stack (kernel 3.19-64-lowlatency + xserver-xorg-video-radeon-lts-vivid). I also tried upgrading to the Wily kernel (4.2.0-lowlatency), and video acceleration works fine with the Vivid xorg. I reported this in launchpad previously, and it was dismissed as "invalid" since Wily is EOL. The problem, however, persists in the Xenial stack, so I'm reporting it here. Attached are the respective Xorg.0 logs.
