Martin, wrong bug? This one is about r6xx and r7xx cards, which do not

Hmm :-) Until 3 days ago I used intrepid on my Vaio FW21E, with the

Although I could not enable KDE's desktop effects, overall drawing

In jaunty, X uses more CPU and painting is much slower, in comparison. I

I also find much improvement. Page-down in firefox is faster - almost instant,

I'm guessing that by the driver you mean an ati driver which was
probably the closed source fglrx.
The answer is; It still works just as well, except that Jaunty is using
a later release of Xorg, and ATI haven't released a build of their
driver that matches; and so it doesn't work on the current

I should point out that the -ati/-radeon drivers in my PPA do not have
the EXA-by-default patch that Bryce's and the drivers in main have, so
they will need the AccelMethod EXA option. This might explain some of
the differences Luke experienced in comment 7, unless he used this
