Hi. Finally fixed about everything on my machine, but 2 little problems remain.

 

1- no USB hotplug for my bluetooth dongle (not too bad)

 

But my biggest concern is graphics performance for my videocard. According to Xbench, it's really slower than a Geforce 6800GT (shouldn't as it's more powerful)

 

So far, I've got ATI_NEW and AGPgart installed. In Halo, it feels sluggish, but on the Windows side, it's really smooth.

 

It's about 25% slower according to Cinebench (compared to Windows). If it's something that can be fixed, I'd like to fix it, If not then guess I'll live with it.

 

Those are the scores according to the graphics tests part

 

Quartz Graphics Test 42.63

Line 54.91 3.66 Klines/sec [50% alpha]

Rectangle 24.05 7.18 Krects/sec [50% alpha]

Circle 73.65 6.00 Kcircles/sec [50% alpha]

Bezier 27.62 696.66 beziers/sec [50% alpha]

Text 129.79 8.12 Kchars/sec

OpenGL Graphics Test 73.24

Spinning Squares 73.24 92.91 frames/sec

User Interface Test 153.87

Elements 153.87 706.20 refresh/sec

 

That's compared to a 6800GT on a 2.0 Dual G5

 

As I said, if it can be fixed, it would be nice, if not, I'll live with it...

 

Machine is a dual-core AMD 4200+ with a Sapphire AGP HD3850 card
