So the driver that was in use before I configured the ATI / AMD repository (which did 3D) is the "radeon" driver you refer to? The reason I installed the ATI / AMD driver was the poor text drawing that got this whole thread started.
No, my bet is you had the frame buffer device installed by default. (fbdev) You should have got the radeon driver, but the complete fix may not have been put in place.

3D isn't a big deal for me. I have a faster machine with a much better 3D card (an nVidia) that I use for 3D apps. The slow text drawing in Konsole is pretty annoying though—that's what I'd like to rectify.
The radeon driver should be flawless there. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
