Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
Just installed Jaunty RC on my ThinkPad X32. I am experiencing very poor Xorg performance. The Xorg process consumes about 25% CPU even when there is no user activity. If there is any screen activity, say moving the Gnome-terminal window, its CPU usage instantly climbs to 80% or more.
Affected cards:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY [1002:4c59]
Subsystem: IBM Device [1014:052f]
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]
Subsystem: IBM Device 0530
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000] (rev 01)
Subsystem: Dell Device 011d

Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500] has same slowdown.
Scrolling in OpenOffice.org and LyX is almost impossible, and let's xorg use 99% cpu.
Also playing flash-videos is sluggish.
Changing to XAA acceleration solves this. (Approx. same performance as Intrepid)
Radeon r100-rv200 should use XAA accelration. EXA is a big regression!
