[SOLVED] Poor 2D performance of Radeon 7200 with newest xf86-video-ati

Today arrived new version (6.12.99) of ATI OSS driver (also new version of ati-dri 7.6, mesa 7.6 and xorg-server 1.7.1) Since that moment I'm experiencing poor 2D performance, especially in GIMP (scrooling of zoomed canvas). Also switching of virt. desktop where is bloated Java app. or fat Firefox instance result in poor render of screen (program renders by parts/semiwindows).

Here is some relevant infoozzzz:

BTW I'm not using Compiz. Has anyone an idea what could happen? In Glxgears I'm achieving 1200fps, but working with GIMP is laggy-horror.

Did you try to use "ati" driver instead of "radeon"?

Re: [SOLVED] Poor 2D performance of Radeon 7200 with newest xf86-video-ati

Solved - must set accelaration method to XAA. This si achieved by setting 

Option  "AccelMethod" "XAA"

in "Device" section in xorg.conf.
Enjoy.
