Bug Description
The performance of my video card is very bad with edgy. I've all updates installed.
My notebook: HP Compaq nc8230 with a 2.1 GHz Intel and 1 GB RAM.
Problems:
When I have to enter my password for administrator rights, the fade to the grey screen isn't smooth at all. Or scrolling on a website with firefox is very very slow. When I minimize or maximize a window, the rendering is also very slow.
With latest Dapper I hadn't these problems!
The CPU usage of xorg often goes up to 90 or even 100 %
I tried to use this device section in xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies, Inc. M24 1P [Radeon Mobility X600]"
Driver "radeon"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "NoAccel" "false"
Option "AGPMode" "8"
Option "AGPFastWrite" "on"
EndSection
But the performance didn't get better.
If you need addtional information, please tell me.

My X600 mobility is working better than ever using:
Acer Aspire 5021Wlmi
1GB Ram
32 bits Ubuntu distribution installed in 64bits AMD processor
Direct rendering is activated and glxgears show arroud 1900 fps, flurry and openGL screen savers go faster than in any other version of free drivers.
Just with the clean default installation of Edgy.
So maybe is a computer configuration problem more than a graphic card one.
