I was not impressed, at all. Though I was obviously getting hardware acceleration (I was getting framerates over what's possible with software rendering on my machine), nearly every app I tried performed pretty lousy compared to the DRI drivers, despite the fact that the Xig server supports the TCL unit on the Radeon. In addition, most games I tried had significant rendering issues, and none would play full screen due to the fact the Xig uses their own fullscreen extension.
