    Massive 2D delay with ATI drivers (solved)

    I am running Hardy Heron, 64bit with a ATI Radeon X1600. I installed the lastest binary drivers from ATI. I am noticing a delay with the mouse in 2d applications such as Krita, Inkscape, and Gimp. As a note I do not experience any delay in regular use otherwise (desktop, firefox, konsole, etc.).

    Below are the relevant sections of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf

    Section "Module"
    Load "Glcore"
    Load "i2c"
    Load "bitmap"
    Load "ddc"
    Load "dri"
    Load "extmod"
    Load "freetype"
    Load "glx"
    Load "int10"
    Load "type1"
    Load "vbe"
    EndSection

    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Configured Video Device"
    Driver "fglrx"
    Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
    Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
    Option "AGPMode" "4"
    Option "AGPFastWrite" "yes"
    Option "EnablePageFlip" "on"
    Option "RenderAccel" "on"
    Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" # or XXA
    # Option "BackingStore" "true"
    # Option "ExaNoOffscreenPixmaps"
    EndSection

    Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "AIGLX" "off"
    EndSection

    Section "Extensions"
    Option "Composite" "Disable"
    EndSection

    Section "DRI"
    Mode 0666
    EndSection

    Re: Massive 2D delay with ATI drivers

    I made a change to my xorg.conf (shown below in red) and noticed an improvement in my 2D performance with all my programs minus Krita. I still have a slow response, especially when using my wacom tablet. Gimp and Inkscape work perfectly.

    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Configured Video Device"
    Driver "fglrx"
    Option "VideoOverlay" "off"
    Option "OpenGLOverlay" "on"
    Option "AGPMode" "4"
    Option "AGPFastWrite" "yes"
    Option "EnablePageFlip" "on"
    Option "RenderAccel" "on"
    Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" # or XXA
    # Option "BackingStore" "true"
    # Option "ExaNoOffscreenPixmaps"
    EndSection
