extremely slow graphics when screen is rotated

I have two monitors. If I rotate the one of  the two screens with xrandr command, the graphic becomes very slow, but does not crash. envn if I close one of monitors. my display card is ATI9200SE and the driver is xf86-video-ati and the window manager is awesome.

xorg.conf is below:

Re: extremely slow graphics when screen is rotated

Hello Tocer!

Is there any related in other log files like xorg, syslog, errorlog? Did you try with other driver/wm-s?

How did you get the xorg.conf? hwd, manually, X -configure ?

Re: extremely slow graphics when screen is rotated

It seems that there is no any related errror in other log files.  The xorg.conf file is generated by "X -configure" command. I have try to remove the xorg.conf, the result is same.

I'll try another window manager. but I don't think it causes the problem.

Re: extremely slow graphics when screen is rotated

Try xf86-video-ati-git as well, it has had a lot of bugfixes these months.
