| me i have a good framerate :)

| I'm using ATI Radeon 9000 Mobile i think - the default inside my R50.
| As i said i just installed xorg 6.8.0 and using radeon driver with
| following settings:

I have an R50p, an 1832-22U with the following:

ATI=AE Mobility FireGL T2 / AGP 4X / 128MB DDR-SDRAM / OpenGL support
External monitor support via analog DB-15 connector / up to 1600x1200 at
85Hz / DDC2B

Has anyone had luck with either the XFree radeon driver or the ATI
driver? As I understand it, many people have gotten accelerated graphics
to work, but then they loose the power management features.

kernel: 2.6.7-gentoo-r11
xfree: 4.3.0-r6
apmd: 3.0.2-r3

Overall I am extremely happy with this system. I purchased this for work
and connect it, through a USB KVM that also drives my desk-side system,
to IBM's port replicator driving a nice ThinkVision 21" LCD and USB
keyboard and mouse. Other than a few hang-ups, I have been able to sit
at work, use apm to put the machine to sleep and then wake it up at home:

Sep 13 08:11:26 ibis apmd[6233]: apmd=5Fcall=5Fproxy: executing:
'/etc/apm/apmd=5Fproxy' 'suspend'
Sep 13 08:11:27 ibis apmd[6233]: System Suspend
<...SNIP...>
Sep 13 08:40:35 ibis apmd[6233]: apmd=5Fcall=5Fproxy: executing:
'/etc/apm/apmd=5Fproxy' 'resume'
Sep 13 08:40:36 ibis apmd[6233]: Normal Resume after 00:29:09 (100%
unknown) AC power

The only issue I have with this system is the lack of accelerated X. If
any one can lend a hand, I would be greatly appreciative.
