So... fglrx is running... but... we have horrible frame rates. If we run anything GL itäs too slow to use. Something like glxgears gives very low frame rates for this card.. eg:
Let me ask you if you setup the screen with the files from their CD?
Ummm... no. But there's a valid reason for that. This monitor has no "monitor drivers". The CD that comes with themonitor only has a PDF on the disk... nothing else. Besides, all that does is supply the Horizontal and Vertial sync frequencies... which I already know, and have manually changed in the xorg.conf. The freqs shoudl have no effect at all on the video card performance anyway... they have to do with how the monitor displays the info.... or am I totally out to lunch here? We rolled back one ATI driver version (removed the first rpm, unloaded the fglrx kernel module... installed the older driver rpm, and rebuilt the kernel module) Redid the xrog.conf using sax2 -r -l -m 0=fglrx and restarted X. It's marginally better...as in glxgears shows 450fps instead of 250fps.... still not the expected 8000fps. Anythign GL based...like the GL screensavers in KDE for example still run at 1 frame every 2 to 5 seconds... so it's definitely not right. Still lost on this one. I'm at the point where I'm ready to go buy this guy an nVidia card :-( C.
