What OS are you using? In redHat 8.0 the general drivers for the Radeon
work great, except for VIVO which I believe is still unsupported. After an
install with even RedHat 7.3 on default settings I typically get arouns 2300fps
on glxgears from what I remember. Configuring the ATI radeon in 7.2 or earlier
is definatly not something that is easy to figure out. I do have documents on
how to get this pretty much working though with the older drivers and OS. May
require a kernel rebuild though. Let me know what OS your using, and if you
would like the "basic" instructions on how to set up DRI, with the radeon.
