There are 2 problems here: With the current radeon driver the mouse is extremely jumpy, or does not register movement at all when in the left hand side of the screen. I've found that setting Option sw_cursor, causes things to run smoothly again.
With the current Radeon driver, I'm getting a substantial performance hit in Linux vs. Windows w/ my Radeon 7200, right now, I've tweaked the Linux driver, to get roughly 30-35 fps in Quake3 lows < 10, while the Windows 2000 driver gets about 90-100 fps, lows in the 40's. UT is the same story, about 40fps in linux, 100+ in windows. Tests were in 1024x768x32... I can not figure out where this performance hit is coming from. I got slightly better performance when I enable AGP4x, but it is still slow. (Attached are portions of my XFree and kernel logs). I tried disabling TCL/HyperZ in Windows to see if that would make up the difference, but the performance was still substantially better than in Linux. :( ===== ---- This sentence contains exactly threee erors.
