0709 had some problems for me (tuxracer segfaulting occasionally), but
0712 works well so far.

here it goes to about 2500 fps default, 300 fps full-size. But this
happens with other 3d accelerated cards as well - the full size window is
at least 10 times larger, so a 1:10 performance drop does not look
abnormal.

this happens to me as well, but only if i restart the system after
installing the beta r200 driver. Re-running the install.sh script solves
the problem and the tuxracer menusystem is as fast as expected. I suspect
this is a problem of default dri kernel modules not being overwritten (?),
but the install reloads them properly. It's not a big issue though.

havent seen any 2d artifacts so far.
