by picking linux x86_64 -> integrated/motherboard -> xpress 200. since that file appears to work, i'm assuming there's no better choice for my scenario.
Ok, The xpress 200M is a legacy card. You are using the 9-3 (2009-March) driver which is fglrx version 8.593. Glad it is working for you. If you are running a laptop. Let me know what type of FPS you get from glxgears executed from a console. (don't do anything else while it is running or it will effect the output.) Let it run for about 45 seconds or so and you should get 5-10 lines of output like this (my xpress 1200): 02:26 alchemy:~> glxgears 5008 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1001.453 FPS 5103 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1020.519 FPS 5103 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1020.580 FPS 5105 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1020.997 FPS 5103 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1020.493 FPS With the 9-3 driver, I dropped to: 23:59 alchemy:~> glxgears 3021 frames in 5.0 seconds = 604.191 FPS 2613 frames in 5.0 seconds = 522.544 FPS 2614 frames in 5.0 seconds = 522.795 FPS But even at that level it is 300% better than the radeonhd driver which gives ~165 FPS. (Sad part is my 2004 laptop with the Radeon 9600 chipset gives 2800 FPS :-( -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
