Description Matthew East 2004-04-27 20:37:49 UTC 
I have a Compaq Presario 2100 laptop, with the ATI IGP 340M display card. I am
experiencing poor performance from the radeon driver, such as errors in
redrawing and slow and distorted performance when playing shockwave videos. Here
is an extract from my XF86Config:

Section "Monitor"
 
 ### Uncomment if you don't want to default to DDC:
#       HorizSync    31.5 - 48.5

I hope that you will be able to help me with this problem. Many thanks, Matthew East

I have tried practically everything to improve this problem, and have enabled
DRI and have not succeeded in eliminating the problem. I attach my full
xorg.conf, my Xorg.0.log, and two screenshots of the problem.

I hope that you will be able to help. Thanks. Matt

does disabling XAA fix the problem?  if so could you try the individual XaaNo...
options to see which one is to blame?
Comment 6 Matthew East 2004-07-26 01:27:15 UTC 
I remember that I tried to disable XAA, and it didn't fix the problem. I also
tried the individual ones and didn't solve the problem. I'm afraid that I have
changed setup now and have not noticed the problem so I can't test: I now use
icewm instead of gnome and i haven't had any graphics problems with
OpenOffice.org. Perhaps gnome was a bit heavy on the graphics card.

Thanks for your efforts.

This is fine in the current release of xorg. No such problems encountered.
