    ATI Radeon Xpress 200M with 8.33.6 drivers PLEASE HELP

    greetings,

    I'm running the latest ATI drivers on Suse 10.2
    I have the ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M]
    everything seems to be working fine except very slow performance I'm running beryl as my window manager and it's running but when doing multi tasking everything is very slow.... is there anyway I could speed things up?

    also I have the following errors:
    when executing fgl_glxgears I get the following:

    Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
    Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
    Error: couldn't get fbconfig

    and glxinfo | grep direct
    Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
    direct rendering: No

    but when I cat Xorg.0.log | grep DRI
    (II) Loading extension XFree86-DRI
    (**) fglrx(0): Option "NoDRI" "no"
    (**) fglrx(0): NoDRI = NO
    (II) Loading extension ATIFGLRXDRI
    (II) fglrx(0): doing DRIScreenInit
    (II) fglrx(0): DRIScreenInit done
    (II) fglrx(0): DRI initialization successfull!
    (II) fglrx(0): [DRI] installation complete

    so I'm a bit confused can anyone help me to resolve these errors please....

    also when I cat Xorg.0.log | grep "(EE)"
    (EE) AIGLX error: dlsym for __driCreateNewScreen_20050727 failed (/usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so: undefined symbol: __driCreateNewScreen_20050727)
    (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

    but this error is because the drivers don't support AIGLX yet... so it's not relevant to my problem ... I could fix this error by disabling AIGLX in xorg.conf... but when I do that my system sometimes hangs for some reason so I rather keep it there....

    when I installed the driver I got the following errors:

    Ok.... I figured it out... I get this errors because XGL is enabled .... so to get rid of this errors
    I have to disable XGL but then all the fun is gone... and from what I understand I can't get 3d accelration
    with the open source drivers because it's broken for the Radeon Xpress 200M

    So I'm stuck with slow performance
