ive just been trying ati kms for the 1st time using kernel 2.6.31 and the git driver and libraries dated october 12th. (the available drivers and libs don't seem to work the the kernel provided by my distro).
anyway, kms does seem to work and all, no errors can be seen, but the performance is just *awful*. scrolling in ff is real bad; compiz and kwin compositing often halt the whole computer when trying to move or resize windows ... glxgears reports about a third of my usual frames per second and playing video is choppy if i try to do anything else at the same time.
i know these things probably need some optimization work but this is just ridiculous. that is, unless there's something im not doing or configuring right. or maybe i just caught a bad revision of the git driver. who knows...
anyone?
