I won't be any help with the Radeon. I no longer have one (thank goodness). Lost count of how many times I purged and reinstalled various flavors of fglrx and played with various xorg.conf files.

I have another ati card, but the problem seems the same. Except if I run jockey it just says: no proprietary drivers are in use in this system...Comment

I unistalled fglrx completely, and now it seems quite better. kinfocenter says opengl is working and glxgears gives 60.000 fps. I suppose this is as good as I will get. I suppose there's a new driver in this distribution which substitutes fglrx, and probably fglrx interferred with that. Which one is this driver I'd like to know though...
Thanks and bye (yes, I won't get another ati either)Comment

Sounds like vsync is enabled... and glxgears is not a benchmark utilOriginally posted by parillo View Post
There are opensource drivers for ati and nvidia cards, but they don't currently work as well for high end 3d as the closed drivers do. If the open drivers are working fine then I would stick with them for now.I suppose this is as good as I will get.

I don't have any benchmark utility, but I tried playing diabloIII with wine and it is not possible anymore, it's just too slow. I'll take that as an indication that the os drivers are not working that good. Anyway, apparently fglrx just doesn't work so think I'll have to be patient till the fix the problem (will that ever happen?).
Thx to all, I'll mark this as solved anyhow.Comment
