Yes, John.  I even tried that a couple of kernel versions back, but 
couldn't see that it had any effect one way or the other.

But, a 70% fix just came by from the kernel janitors in the form of a 
patch posted to lkml about 45 mins ago replaceing the MS_TO_HZ call 
in the radeon driver with a different macro, and now my glxgears are 
running at a fairly steady 250 fps rather than a nice steady 10 fps.  
That won't run tuxracer yet, but its a step in the right direction 
until the radeon driver gets all the ATI tricks bred into it, and AG 
8x support gets into X.  Its currently running my 8x stuff at 4x 
according to /var/log/messages:

device at 0000:00:00.0.

Thanks for keeping me in mind John, I appreciate it.
