Subject: [gentoo-user] Radeon KMS driver - what benefits?

1 I have just gone through the steps to use the Radeon KMS driver on my old
2 laptop which has an RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]. Everything seems to work
3 all right and I get the right "render string" from glxinfo. However, I thought
4 it might enable compositing to work on the KDE4 desktop but there is no
5 change. What's more, glxgears used to give about 2200 FPS but now it's 50! So
6 have I been wasting my time?
