I had above 1100 FPS in 8.10. I deleted the old xorg.conf - did not help. Then did dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg - no improvements.
I do not see errors in Xorg.log. Everything is working (compiz, some games) but very slow.
I believe that something is wrong with the card detection:

Code:Option "EnablePageFlip" "on" Option "ColorTiling" "on" Option "MigrationHeuristic" "smart" Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" Option "DynamicClocks" "on"
Page flip and color tiling should give maximum 3D performace. They should be enabled by default but were not in earlier version so I have them still in my configuration.

Feel free to add your experience and mark here, what do you need to turn off, etc.

It certainly is off by default, and it's the only option in OA that can make it unplayable on the open drivers. It drops fps to 1-2, because it hits a sw path, this is a known bug, and a fix is said to need a proper memory manager.
Ie, more time before we can see some cool lighting effects..
Yes, it is the bloom effect (don't know if PTS has it on, but turning it off in a normal OA game makes it playable). Most games I have tried are playable at medium to low settings even at 1680x1050 as long as you don't use any fancy post processing effects (AA, AF, etc.) or lighting effects.
