Ah! That bug! That's the reason I left Debian. When the XFree86
switch to Xorg, Debian switched something and my G450 went from the
fasted screaming video card to one of the worse pigs.

You shouldn't use glxgears as a benchmark, it really isn't one

The difference was that earlier I had run glxgears as

Brice,
In XFree86 glxgears was a fairly reliable indicator
of whether things were horribly broken or moving
along well. Running flightgear flightsim would always
parallel the performance, albiet much slower.
In Xorg, that doesn't seem to be the case. However,
if the wheels in glxgears are

Did you try xserver-xorg-core 1.3 and xserver-xorg-video-mga 1.4.6.1 as
explained earlier? They've been in Debian testing for a while now, it's
very easy to upgrade...
In the mean time, how
can I go back to the old X11R6 stuff?
You
Brice,
Thanks. It looks like I'm at
xserver-xorg-core 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12
There's a 1.3 in there. And have
xserver-xorg-video-mga 1:1.4.6.dfsg.1-3
Which I've taken to mean yes. Is this correct?
I've done so much install and re-test that
I've lost track of what else I've tried to
Brice,
I'll send a second e-mail on the results after reboot...
Okay, now I'm getting the stripes of red, green and blue
across my LCD where glxgears is running (they always match
the running program in the y-axis (vertical) and spread
all the way across the x-axis.
The frame rate is now:

What would be the easiest/safest way to upgrade to experimental?
No need anymore. xserver-xorg-core 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-2 and
xserver-xorg-video-mga 1:1.4.6.1.dfsg.1-2 are both in unstable now. But,
you'll have to upgrade your libc to 2.5.

Brice,
Sorry about causing a bit of confusion about my xorg.conf.
The unedited original that worked (but was simple/single-head)
was xorg.conf.good. The installation did *not* come up as dual-head.
To enable dual-head, I manually edited xorg.conf. The script you had
me run displayed the
reassign 417601 xserver-xorg-video-mga
thank you

Here it is. I got some function to DRI now, but
nothing near the performance I had with Stable.
Which xserver-xorg-core and xserver-xorg-video-mga packages do you have?
Could you try upgrading them to experimental ?
Please send us the output of
/usr/share/bug/xserver-xorg/script 31

Package: x11r6
Version: X11R6
Severity: important
When using the old XFree86 X11R6 my G450 was working
in Direct Rendering (~620 fps running glxgears).
Now, glxgears runs smoothly for about 2 seconds, then
starts ``stepping'' at about one cog per second.
glxgears no longer displays frame rate.
