Summary: Poor preformance

Initial Comment:
I've compiled the TCL branch of X for my radeon, 

(:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/dri
co -rtcl-0-0-branch xc). 

Dri seems to work, but is behaving rather strangly. 
I'm using it with RTCW (return to castle wolfentisien) 
The best word I can use to describe it is jerky..

The FPS is smooth for a 1 a sec then it drops (i.e. the
game freezes for a tiny amount of time).. like it's
waiting for something and then it's smooth again.. 
It's pretty darn difficult to play like that :).  I get
these in kernel ring buffer (fetch 'em out with dmesg):


[drm:radeon_freelist_get] *ERROR* returning NULL!
[drm:radeon_freelist_get] *ERROR* returning NULL!
[drm:radeon_freelist_get] *ERROR* returning NULL!
[drm:radeon_freelist_get] *ERROR* returning NULL!
[drm:radeon_freelist_get] *ERROR* returning NULL!

The chipset is Intel i815B running linux 2.4.18. 

I will gladly supply any information asked for.
