Yes - it is not just slow, its like watching treacle set.

> some solution?

Err no - I swapped the ATI Radeon 9600 out and put an Nvidia 6200 in.
That's worse. Nothing I did would make it work at all. Only in VESA mode
did I actually get to log in. The invidious drivers insist on pushing out
a video signal that is way beyond my monitors.

I tried clean installs for both the nvidia and the Radeon. Eventually I
went back to an older Radeon 9550. That works ... (ish).

It works as in I can log in and I can have my screen set at 1280x1064.
But I cant get my second monitor working. That just isnt seen at all in
Administrations -> Screens and Graphics.


I have wasted a weekend just trying to get back in to my system after
"upgrading to Gutsy. If I cant get anything working I will start again
with Mandriva 10 (oh, no, thats back to KDE).

Or maybe put a Sapphire 9880 and see if a more modern card will work.

Surprised a 9600 didn't work, I have more luck with them than X800s.

Is Envy still useful? I thought 7.10 took complete care of installation of
Restricted Drivers.

Problem:
I had problem with ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro:
After installation of drivers from ATI, 3D was not working, graphics was wery slow (e.g. showing of window content when moving), no desktop efect can be enabled.

Solution:
I installed and run Envy. It solved the problem. Now 3D works excelent.


Before Envy, atigetsysteminfo.sh said:

(II) fglrx(0): detected X.org 7.1.0.0
(EE) fglrx(0): atiddxDriScreenInit failed, GPS not been initialized.
(WW) fglrx(0): ***********************************************
(WW) fglrx(0): * DRI initialization failed! *
(WW) fglrx(0): * (maybe driver kernel module missing or bad) *
(WW) fglrx(0): * 2D acceleraton available (MMIO) *
(WW) fglrx(0): * no 3D acceleration available *
(WW) fglrx(0): ********************************************* *


After:

(II) fglrx(0): detected X.org 7.1.0.0
(II) Loading extension ATIFGLRXDRI
(II) fglrx(0): doing DRIScreenInit
