| 4 | You need to enable EXA as acceleration type. And for that, you *need* |
| 5 | an xorg.conf. |

| 7 | Section "Device" |
| 8 | Driver "radeon" |
| 9 | Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" |
| 10 | EndSection |

| 12 | I believe the default is "XAA" which is slow. Also, with that driver, |
| 13 | it makes more sense to get the latest (~arch) along with ~arch DRI |
| 14 | kernel modules. The "unstable" ones (according to portage) are actually |
| 15 | way more stable and faster than the "stable" ones. |
