Hey,
i kept on searching tweaks for my ATI driver on ubuntu to be able to use Pd
in a efficient way ('cause the downgrade didn't sound so cool since i just
installed 9.04).
I finally found this links, and the tweaks explained in there are really
helping. Motionblur works nicely and i can use [gemframebuffer] and
glsl-related. CPU is still high&higher but i will look into it.
So this stuff could help someone else too in the future:
also tons of other options are available via terminal --> man radeon
(but this is not a big discovery)
mmm.. i found out the truth.
i write this just for information (probably most of you already know it but
it can be useful to post it anyway).
catalyst 9.3 and earlier drivers don't support x 1.6 and catalyst 9.4
doesn't support a bunch of older radeon cards (as mine).
This means the only option one has is to downgrade to ubuntu 8.10.

Thanks Jack,
as IOhannes confirmed it is probably a driver problem (anyway i don't
think i can make faster my pacth with [pix_snap] and family since they will
eat my cpu.., i prefer to manage this driver issue).
@IOhannes
gfx card:
VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M56P [Radeon Mobility
X1600]
driver:
xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.12.1-0ubuntu2
xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:6.12.1-0ubuntu2
i suggest using the latest (urgh) proprietary drivers to get decent openGL
performance...
yes, keep on looking i found out the same suggestion in other forums.
ok, i'll try to install that right away .. (i was afraid to hear it) :P
