Thanks bjaglin, I followed your steps and performance seems to have improved a bit. Compiz benchmark now reports 130+fps (which is what I had under Jaunty) but Tux Racer is still down at 2fps (I can't recall what is was under Jaunty) so I think there are still underlying problems. -- (Needs

I have an ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 (rv250) and have noted a serious drop in performance with Compiz in Karmic. The whole setup seems sluggish and the Benchmark utility (not a rigorous test, I know) reports 11fps when it used to be 100+fps under Jaunty (an basic Intel chipset system I have

(Coming from bug 421334) I can confirm the same problem on an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 at 1400x1050. This system was fine on Jaunty, just done a full install of Karmic and I now see this. When Compiz is running, the Benchmark app reports very poor performance (circa 11fps when it used to be

2009-10-06 Thread roadSurfer
Of course, there are also certain driver level issues that can have a serious impact on functionality. For example, I believe it is impossible to control the primary display if the Intel drivers are being used; on a laptop (the most common place to use multi-head I think) these will almost always

Can I second (third?) this? Not being able to explicitly define the primary display is a serious limitation to me as an average end-user. With a laptop the on-board display is (generally speaking) primary, regardless of what external display device is attached as that external device could be
