Description NOT ACTIVE SINCE DECADES, PLEASE DELETE ME 2007-03-31 18:20:50 UTC

I also filed a more lengthy bug message to the xorg people because I'm unshure about the reasons behind this. See:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10321

Though glxinfo shows that direct rendering is enabled, most expensive tasks nearly freeze the screen because CPU-load is at 100%. This is true for things like text rendering in the terminal but also for the compositing extension to xfwm. OpenGl apps don't show up anything in their windows. Below is the glxinfo result. For the  X-log please see the link above.

I installed the new Mesa-6.3. Couldn't install xorg-server-1.3.0.0 with it. However, games work again. Compositing is still unusable and the glxinfo output is the same.

Comment 2 NOT ACTIVE SINCE DECADES, PLEASE DELETE ME 2008-01-07 18:00:13 UTC

With xorg-server 1.4 and Mesa-7.0.2 things work so far. In EXA mode, OpenGL output flickers when moving the window and always stays on top.

Comment 3 NOT ACTIVE SINCE DECADES, PLEASE DELETE ME 2008-01-07 20:16:16 UTC

I tried xorg-server 1.4.0.90 and the 6.7.x ati driver. Things didn't change but
the resolution was set to 800x600. I think that the problem is in the ati
driver and will post a new bug message. You may close this one.

You can do this yourself btw...
