When I enable EXA in xorg.conf, certain things gets extremely slow - a simple thing like resizing gnome-terminal sized at about 80x25 takes over a second per window update! Let's not talk about rendering a 1000x1000 Firefox window...
At the same time, I can start compiz fine (although it takes quite some time to start), and things like wobbly windows are extremely smooth. Moving a window around in either compiz or Metacity is fast - but resizing, adding lines to the bottom of a gnome-terminal window, opening a window menu item etc. are all very, very slow, with 100 % cpu usage, in both Metacity and compiz.
I've read xorg.conf and radeon manual pages and tried every setting and combination of settings I can think of.
Is it only me that has this problem? What can be wrong?
I'm using the latest xf86-video-ati (checked out a few hours ago), "X Window System Version 1.3.0" (from Xorg.0.log), mesa-6.5.2-r1, xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r1, xorg-x11-7.2, libdrm-2.3.0 (from Gentoo equery).
