As I mentioned in my quick reply to your last thread. I suspect the issue is due to the fglrx driver no longer being available for your card. It was in the 11.1 timeframe IIRC in the move from Xorg 7.2 to 7.3 where ATI dropped support for all 1600 (1800?) and earlier graphics cards. If you check on your 11.1 install (if you still have it available) I suspect your will find that your were using the proprietary ATI driver: The stock radeon driver gives decent performance, it is just a hell of a lot slower than with fglrx.
Well, it seems that my 11.1 install is using the radeon driver. It has KDE 3.5.9 installed. The 12.3 install has TDE 3.5.12 installed. The only difference between the 2 installs is that on the 12.3 install the /home directory is encrypted. The 11.1 install won't decrypt the 12.3's /home directory so I can't check to see if that is part of the problem. After playing with the 11.1 install I can tell that it is somewhat faster, and scrolling in Firefox is smoother but still not fluid. I've tried disabling kms but that didn't help either. Oh well. Other than installing XP to see if its any better I guess I'm stuck with it.
