 |
|
I'm having a quite unusual problem. The 3D hardware acceleration works, I've tried playing tuxracer and it ran smoothly without any delay.
glxinfo | grep direct
| Code: | | Direct Rendering: Yes |
However, the 2D-drawings are as slow as syrup! When I open a window, for example, I can see how it is painted from the top to the bottom. Actually, the rendering process take about 1 second. Same for the desktop background. Every time fluxbox redraws it, it takes about 1 second. The worst part is, that I can barely play The Battle For Wesnoth at all! 
Every time I try to scroll it have to repaint, and every repaint take 0.5 - 1.0 seconds.
Of course, I've set up the kernel according to the Gentoo Radeon Guide maintained by Wedge.
I have agpgart and via_agp loaded automatically.
I've had this problem for a while, and I also tried installing Suse Linux, and got the same result. 
The version of the ATI-Driver is 8.22.5, but I've tried older ones as well.
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon 9600XT
lspci | grep AGP
