Poor performance

[Renê Barbosa]

Hello,

I've installed fglrx-pxpress on Ubuntu 13.10 and 12.04.3 and it's with a really poor performance on both operating systems. I am using GNOME shell and it's really lagged. Using radeon/vgaswitcheroo the performance is better but it's freezing the entire Xorg after some usage time.

Hey. I am performing some tests, the issue seems to be happening only in GNOME shell environment, on Unity or XFCE it's working fine. How i can take more informations to help you to reproduce and fix this issue?

This sounds like a performance issue in fglrx with the GNOME shell. I'm reassigning this to the fglrx-installer package, as fglrx-pxpress is just a helper.
