I'll spare you all a long description of my frustrations trying to get
decent 2D and (hopefully, eventually) 3D performance out of the Radeon
Mobility in my Powerbook. Instead, I'll just ask what I am supposed to
expect out of the radeon/r300 drivers at this time (xf86-video-ati
6.6.191; mesa 6.5.2; xorg-server 1.2.99.903) and what options are
recommended in xorg.conf for this configuration.

I'd love to be able to run a compositing window manager but when I try
that the scrolling speed in Firefox makes me want to throw things.

As a final question I'd like to know what is in store for the r3xx open
driver in the future, to the extent that is known.

Thanks,
Andrew (who has not thrown anything...yet.)
