27 Using the link you posted I was able to get similar numbers on my
28 card, if you scroll down to the bottom of the page there where it
29 talks about driconf, and set up your drirc file you should be able to
30 apply these settings system wide. I am still have some issues with
31 compiz-fusion running smoothly I currently dont have the cube working
32 it lags very bad with that. I will do some more research into the
33 kernel bug and see if upgrading and re-enabling tiling fixes this
34 issue. Thanks for the link and pointing me in the right direction.
