Hello Mick,

I have an ATI video card that says the same thing about the ROM:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R250 [Mobility
FireGL 9000] (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
        Subsystem: CLEVO/KAPOK Computer Unknown device 0402
        Flags: bus master, stepping, fast Back2Back, 66MHz, medium devsel,
latency 66, IRQ 11
        Memory at f0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
        I/O ports at 9000 [size=256]
        Memory at ec100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
        [virtual] Expansion ROM at ec120000 [disabled] [size=128K]
        Capabilities: [58] AGP version 2.0
        Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2


This is under a 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 kernel....

I'm going to look at what you are saying under two different
kernels (2.6.17-gentoo-r8 and  2.6.18-gentoo-r8) to see
what I get.  I'd be curious as to how your problem is
resolved too, as it may help me get more 3D performance too.
