I believe the pain is self-inflicted in Ubuntu. The responsible patch
is 104_use_exa.patch. I hope that upstream will help us out of this with
a proper patch that selects EXA by default but drops back to XAA in low-
memory situations.
Stay tuned.

Ups, my laptop is a T41, not a T42. Sorry. I bought it quite a while ago

@Timo Jyrinki:
On my Mobility M6 LY (16MB), EXA with both of your optimizations is still
slower than XAA. Using EXA, showing the selection list of "Gnome Do" (down
arrow) is presented in 3 hard steps whereas using XAA it is smoothly animated.
Same goes for expanding the playlist in VLC player.
@Timo Jyrinki:
Thank you! Your solutions seems to work fine at my setup.
Added Option "FBTexPercent" "0" to my xorg.conf.
Maybe it is slightly faster than XAA!? Not sure yet!

Everyone with 32MB memory, please continue to use EXA but add this to

At least for my Mobility 9000 EXA is completely fine with that. It
pushes the texture memory to system and frees as much memory as possible
for EXA.

How can I try the upstream solution? (Without compiling anything, that

Currently my Mobile 9000 (RV250) causes a CPU load of about 25% and very

@Rolf, note that loading the glx module explicitly doesn't do anything
for recent X.org versions (it's autoloaded and so is "dri" module).
Further, the permissions on the dri device node are also no longer in
use because that device now has an ACL on it (so the "Mode 0666" stuff
is obsolete). If yo
With the Load glx, Load dri and Mode 0666 lines in xorg.conf I still get

more), so it doesn't solve the problem for me.

Rolf Leggewie, I just tried your suggestion by adding the following to
xorg.conf:
Section "Module"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
EndSection
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
It doesn't help. Xorg log (see attachment) shows that glx and dri are
