Hi everyone,

Has anyone been able to get good 3D graphics performance under Ubuntu with a ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 graphics chip (on a Compaq Evo n800v laptop)?

3D _works_, but I get unbearably slow 3D - e.g. 40 fps in GLXgears (strangely it's only using about 5% CPU load so probably not a SW renderer).

The radeon module is loaded and X is using it (according to lsmod and X config file respectively).

glxinfo returns:
...
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Radeon 20020611 AGP 1x x86/MMX/SSE TCL
OpenGL version string: 1.2 Mesa 4.0.4
...

I need decent GL performance for an app I am working on. It gets about 50 fps on my PowerBook, and about 0.8 fps on the Ubuntu laptop....

Any help or pointers to help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Hugo.
