Yes, quite thorough.

Thanks. I'll check what it's set to when I get to that machine.

Built from XFree86 CVS. The kernel ones don't work with 4.3, do they? (Also, they really shouldn't work with an RV250, shoud they? My card isn't supported under 4.2.) With the CVS modules DRM works, glxinfo reports direct rendering working, 1400+ frames in glxgears, Tuxracer is playable, 3D screensavers look nice, etc. > Also, AGP settings could have an impact, as well as Mike's suggestion > about other hardware. Going down to AGP 2X doesn't help anyways, I tried that after seeing some suggestions about that in the mailing list archives (if not here, possibly on DRI-devel). If 1X is worth trying I'll check that too . I'll try to look into other hardware too. Thanks for your suggestions, I'll try to troubleshoot this when I have the time.
