OK, I learn something every day. The radeonhd was auto chosen by xorg -configure. But there are couple of other reasons it turns out: * radeonhd-devel conflicts with the xf86-video-ati port, this was my first 'try to get it working step' * As I just discovered re-installing the ati port, xrandr and krandrtray don't get along in xf86-video-ati port. It resets my crtc 1 setting and won't allow the optioning of two displays. Since many Bothans died obtaining the magic xrandr --crtc 1 settings for this dual display to work, I'm sticking with the radeonhd driver. :) > What kernel are you running on?

'fire' and 'glxgears' both run rather speedily (but those are 3d). 2d is much faster with the head mesa (you can easily see by dragging big windows around), so I'm going to latch onto the hope that this is all a kwin problem. Thanks for your help!
