I get similar problems with my Toshiba Tecra S1 with a Mobility 9000 R250 i.e. desktop is unbearably slow both with and without compiz going. Feisty was fine with compiz running. Xorg.0.log reports that DRI is enabled, however glxinfo says that indirect rendering is being used and nothing shows

Jem, your xorg.conf is not good for the new ati driver. Try without one, and see http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 for more information. -- [gutsy] horrible performance with ati open source drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150863 You received this bug notification because

Seems like some of the CPU thrashing has gone away with the addition of (with DRI enabled): Option MigrationHeuristicgreedy EXA doesn't seem to run as well as XAA. Glxgears still reports 77fps though. -- [gutsy] horrible performance with ati open source drivers

Jem Fry: did you try disabling DRI to see if that helps things out? I'm not sure how that would impact your performance though, as you're running Compiz. 3d acceleration for me with DRI disabled is horrible, but at least the 2D speeds along fine. -- [gutsy] horrible performance with ati open

Just a note to say I've got the same problem as waxhell since upgrading to Gutsy release candidate today. Under Feisty my 1.5GHz 1.5GB Dell D600 (ATI Mobility Radeon 9000) laptop ran perfect well with open source ATI driver and Compiz Fusion (with all the bells and whistles: wobbly windows,

I was able to duplicate (actually make worse) the slow draw rate with DRI enabled under XAA by using the: Option XAANoOffscreenPixmaps Enable With that option enabled, it sounds like most of my CPU is being used to draw the screen. The splash for KDE is unbearably slow to watch. I had tried

Still looks like DRI is slowing down my computer massively, even when virtual is reduced down to my screen size. No change in fps with glxgears and also Xorg is still thrashing at 80-100% cpu when I'm scrolling around or loading large graphical areas in a browser. Took a look at 134817, and it

One slight discrepancy. the xorg.conf that I linked was wrong. The only difference was that option GARTSize 128 was uncommented. This is somewhat weird, as commenting out DRI did not stop DRI form loading. The only way I can disable DRI is to use the GARTSize option and pass a size that's

On EXA versus XAA for my configuration: In Gutsy: It seems that on my system EXA tends to refresh the screen in large lag blocks. XAA seems much more smooth and the OS seems more usable. In Feisty: EXA seemed significantly faster than XAA and tended to tax the CPU less. -- [gutsy] horrible
