Listmates, This is a conclusion drawn from working with the x1650 AGP card in a MSI KM2M motherboard for the past 3 weeks with no luck. See: ([opensuse] radeon 1650 agp - no compiz, blank glxgears, but good frame rates?) The problem is that the AGP x1650 card cannot handle any overlay or composite display. After trying all options with both the 8-8 and 8-9 driver, the card still would not draw the gears in glxgears, video in mplayer or anything in compiz. Solution: I replaced the x1650 512M card with an x800 XT 256M card, dropped it in the slot, rebooted (didn't even bother to alter the board name in xorg.conf) and everything worked perfectly. The frame rates with glxgears were everybit as good as with the x1650, and ... there were actually _gears_ in the glxgears box. Compiz worked perfectly. There is a definite bug in the driver as it relates to the AGP x1650. Christian, is Novell still closing all ATI driver issues as "Invalid" "Won't Fix"? If so, let me know and I won't waste my time again filing another bug report with Novell. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
