Hi,
after setting up my ATI Radeon everything 3d was just fine. Tuxracer and others were running fast and with nice graphics.
Well, now I must have broken something, dunno when or how.. I still have direct rendering (direct rendering: Yes), glxgears and others run fast (glxgears@2000fps, fgl_glxgears@350fps), but OpenGL apps like zsnes or Tuxracer seem to have no hardware acceleration, they are terribly slow..
I'll post some stuff right now, please ask more specific info if you think you could help me :cry:

..any ideas?

I have similar problems with ATI and games, though I can't say I've ever gotten it to run nicely before. I always thought it was because the drivers were bunk.

yep, ATI sucks balls when running linux. I'd immediately use an NVidia card if this wouldn't mean buying a new notebook to me.
But well, it did work until today: I followed the new HowTo Wiki, pacman'ed the vmlinuz26archck kernel and ati-drivers from [community], and Tux thereafter was happily sliding down frozen hills full of fish.
If only I knew what just went wrong..

Got it working again
I installed mesa yesterday for some reason. Removed it, tuxracer and others are working fine again. Well, only zsnes is still very (far too) slow in OpenGL mode, but as far as I recall, I never got that one to coop with OpenGL yet.

WOW. That's scary.. I decided to try that, and so I uninstalled mesa here too (don't know how it got installed, maybe implicitly with x?) but as soon as I did, my test program (neverball) went from chunk city to smooth as silk.
Amazing, thanks rbl!

Edited ATI Wiki Page to note that simply having mesa installed could severely impact performance.
