Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

In Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS I have acceptable 3d acceleration with my video
card (ATI RS690M Radeon X1200 Series): compiz works (I can see the 3d
cube, glxgears works well, etc.), but some 3d applications are really
slow (Google Earth). I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a separate partition
(And reinstalled 2 times more with the same result). On Maverick, I have
serious problems: as you can see in glxinfo (I hope that ubuntu-bug
attached it), the 3d acceleration is marked as working well (direct
rendering: Yes). But if I execute glxgears, the gears are not shown
(just a black window, but sometimes just after a boot I can see the
gears moving for < 1 second and then they don't move any more). Compiz
is so slow that if I enable it and try to change my workspace
(CTRL+ALT+[left/right arrow], with the "wall" default effect), the
computer doesn't respond any more and I have to restart gdm
(CTRL+ALT+F1, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart). In can't use any other
application that needs 3d acceleration (Stellarium for example). I tried
to use the development drivers (https://launchpad.net/~xorg-
edgers/+archive/ppa ,
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates) but I obtained
almost the same result with them (so I returned to the default drivers).
I can not understand why in Lucid the drivers simply worked well and in
Maverick, a newer release, they don't. Thank you in advance.

P. S.: Is this the right place to report this bug? Or I have to report
to X.org? Kernel.org? Thank you.
