Dear Brice, Good news about compiz, thank you. Reading around the web led me to go looking at whether AIGLX had loaded properly. This is what I got:
(**) Option "AIGLX" "true" (**) AIGLX enabled (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/r200_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/r200_dri.so: undefined symbol: _glapi_tls_Context) (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering This would hopefully point to the problem? Thanks for the tip re: glxgears. On a more 'real' note, openarena performs somewhat better on levels where a lot of rendering to inifinty (such as 'space' based levels) is involved. The xersver-xorg-core is version 1.4, so I'll try the one you suggest and see if that doesn't clear up the problem.
