" I suppose all software should target 386 processors with ISA video cards with 256K of vram because hw that old could still be in use somewhere..."
you are missing my point.
For old hardware you had a driver that functioned well and would continue to function well ad nauseam since it was clearly working, now it's not.
there haven't been extreme graphical enhancements from ubuntu 8 to ubuntu 10 or open suse 11 to 12 that could explain the absolute nightmare lag.
I'm almost 100% sure this is ATI specific since in all the lots of forums I've red where people couldn't comprehend their drop in performance they all had -1 or +1 gen cards of mine
