On the whole, my computer seems stable enough. It did freeze once using BZFlag, an arcade tank game. Ctrl-Alt-F1, Ctrl-Alt-F7, Ctrl-Alt-Del all did nothing. But I'm not sure that this has never happened using 9.04. Aside from this, 10.04 with the Xorg-edgers ppa works just fine -- [RC410] Radeon

I decided to give the xorg-edgers package a test under 10.04. First I installed all updates, including linux 2.6.32-23-generic. This had no noticable effect on GLBlur, still around 17 fps. Then I followed the instructions on https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa sudo add-apt-repositor

This problem still occurs in 10.10 alpha 1. I only tested GLBlur: FPS 15.1, load 84.9, polys 28. This is booting from a live-cd, perhaps that might affect performance. 10.10 alpha 1 runs fine other than this, and the long standing hibernate/suspend issue. I did have a problem running the video tes
