It's really difficult to tell. In 7.2 (w/ ati driver 6.6.3) I was able to use compiz and almost all GLX stuff properly, direct or accelerated indirect mode. After I portupgraded to x.org 7.3 (server 1.4), all of my problems came up. I did build/install x11/xorg-server v1.4 before x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati v6.7.192 (you can't do it any other way). I did try downgrading back to xf86-video-ati v6.6.3 to see if the old version would still work under the new server, and then my X session just dies any time DRI is accessed (old driver not compatible w/ new server?). I also played with it some more and have found that EXA is completely unusable for me. Under the new server/driver combination, if I am using EXA (and no AIGLX composting manager) then I get the problem where when a window is undrawn (moved, minimized, resized, or I switch workspaces), it leaves a shadow behind it that is slightly lighter than the surrounding area. I can drag a window around the screen to "paint" this effect around my desktop. This is all happening with metacity (which I "downgraded" to after compiz became completely unusable). I've got a Radeon Mobility M10 aka Radeon 9550, using the rv350 chip. I played with the GLX effects further and discovered that I can't produce the full-screen-flicker effect on a screen-shot... -- Coleman Kane Rest of my message preserved below: > Adam > > On Mon, 17 Sep 2007 10:29:32 -0400 > Coleman Kane wrote: > > >> Hi all, >> >> Ever since I updated to the latext X.org 7.3 ports, my DRI support for >> my ATI Radeon rv350 card no longer works well.
