Hi, Visio 2003 (wine) works like a charm on ubuntu karmic and fglrx drivers. But today i tried on ubuntu lucid + xorg edgers (radeon OSS drivers), and it works 100 times slower, zooming in and out is a pain, objects are drawn 1 by 1... Is really really slow. Regards Jaime

I don't have Visio so I can't test that, but how is graphics otherwise? I have almost the same setup but with a 4770 and I've never seen such fast graphics. gtkperf? :-) Running compiz?
Hi Ernst, I am not a 3d user, no compiz, i use basically video ,browser and office aplications. So for me all is working fine, but wine + visio. What really hesitates me, is that radeon OSS has a very good 2D performance, and a reputation on that. And i dont understand why wine + fglrx is much faster than wine + radeon oss on visio application. Is wine using xrender for 2d applications such visio? has radeon oss a bad xrender implementation (i doubt)? a vsync problem? what is happening? Regards Jaime

You'll probably want to ask the wine folks or profile it to see what slow path is being hit.
if you've some spare time left, sysprof is a really handy tool to find out where all the time is spent system-wide. Fglrx is almost pure software (cpu) rendering, so applications behaving "bad" don't cause much troubles. I doubt this is a RENDER fallback.
With current xf86-video-ati Git master, does enabling the following options in /etc/X11/xorg.conf help? Option "AccelMethod" "glamor" Option "ShadowPrimary" Option "TearFree"
