sadly the xorg.conf I posted yesterday leaded to compiz instability.
tried adding first BusType and then MigrationHeuristic with no luck.
downgrading libgl1-mesa-dri to version 7.5.1-1 seem to be the only

Putting simply:

It is useful if everybody posting results also includes the output from

Your solution is... complex, especially regarding the obtaining of the
mesa packages and locking them. The libgl1-mesa-dri/libgl1-mesa-glx

improved a bit. Compiz benchmark now reports 130+fps (which is what I

I would be interested to know if upping the AGPSize helps for everybody
here, that is, use an xorg.conf with only this (on otherwise default
packages of course):

The default size is 8 for R100/R200 and 32 for R300 and
If I can add my 2 cents, with my Radeon 9200SE setting the color depth
to 16 solves it. Animation performance are terrible, anyway, much worse
than on Jaunty.

Could someone change the title? It does not seem to be specific to

I think if it's not going to be fixed on time for 9.10 release (and it
looks that way) then probably a series of ATI r200 cards should get
blacklisted for 3d effects. Ideally they should be blacklisted only for
resolutions about 1024x768 if possible, since it seems that 1024x768 is
the maximum
