radeon 9250 256 mb .athlon xp 2400+ gentoo linux xorg server 1.2 x11-drm : 20060608 1024 768 at 87 hz ( real fast for this old screen ) well .. here we are .. the 9250 is out the proprietary drivers updates , the 8.28.8 wont work with xorg-server 1.2 .. leaves the open source driver .. there i went .. installed the drivers and dri and lo and behold direct rendering = yes .. i got 1180 fps in glx gears after a few tweaks. only thing .. impossible to get lower than 87 hz .. which does seem too high for the display .. again .. i tried but dont know how to fix this .. thing is .. the driver seem to have several issues that im not sure are known/unknown .. in ppracer ( ex tuxracer ) all the fonts are gone but for a pixel or so .. impossible to read anything .. also in pp racer the video is choppy .. smooth , chops then goes smooth again and chops .. in any application scrolling / moving a window there is a " shimmer " it's like at each line of display the text jumps creating a weird shimmering effect all things that i didnt use to have with the ati cs driver. im missing somethign ? ( say yes here ; ) thanks for any input you may have.
