Testing jaunty, I'm experiencing a quite similar problem which might be related:
When EXA was enabled by default, everything was fine (and even faster than intrepid). At some point of time (unfortunately I don't know which update caused it), flash performance and general responsivity got much worse. Since then, I'm also experiencing "blackouts", where xorg just seem to put my monitor to standby. I'm able to switch back by changing to a terminal console. I tried AccelDFS with minimal (maybe none) effect. I know this is not a very constructive comment, I'm just out of ideas on how to debug this problem. Using Jaunty and 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R350 [Radeon 9800 Pro] -- [RV350 9600] Xorg 7.4 with EXA acceleration. firefox lags unless AccelDFS is used https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300346 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
