Hey Mick, I updated the the git version of the xf86-video-ati driver this morning, but am still using all the stable versions of everything else. I tried gtkperf. Not satifying at all in terms of demonstrating anything with 3d performance. We need a better benchmark! I'm going to go look around a bit for something more fun... Cheers, Mark
