Lucky you. Mine doesn't. Using 3D on it makes the machine unstable,

Backtraces? X version? X config?


6.8.2 from debian testing

(FWIW, my AGP Radeon 9250 works flawlessly as of X.org 6.8.99.901.
6.8.2 and earlier were wobbly.)


Time to try again then, I guess.  Nice to know that something
is happening with the newer servers.

Whether performance is appalling I don't know because I don't have any
standards to measure it by, but I get 2000fps or thereabouts out of
glxgears. That's a hell of a lot better than the 64fps I got out of
my earlier mach64 :)


I have never seen glxgears go into the thousands.  The card is
obviously not supposed to be like this - either card or driver is
faulty.  Most people don't seem to have performance problems,
with their radeons, so perhaps my card is a bit different and
don't fit the driver.
