Re: [SLE] ATI Radion driver in SuSE 10.1

Hi everybody.

I've noticed that the Radion driver used in SuSE 10.1 is not nearly as
effective on my Thinkpad T41 as the one which was included in SuSE 10.0.

GoogleEarth is slow in 10.1 compared to 10.0

I enabled 3D in Sax2, but without discernable effect.

I wonder if I'm being forced to use Mesa emulation.

Does anyone have any idea how I might improve performance.

If it matters, the video is an ATI Radion RV250 Lf

Several cards are tossed in under the RV250 name. Which actual card or
notebook chipset is it? Some of the Mobility Radeon X1300 cards or higher
seem to have driver issues. Did you do the auto install or compile for the
kernel option? I assume that you are using the proprietary driver that does
not ship with 10.1. The proprietary driver did ship with 10.0. If you are not
using the proprietary driver from ATI that is most likely the problem.
