Graphics
On a Thinkpad T41:
I just installed the new ATI drivers v8.14.13 Running "glxgears" with "radeon" or "ati" drivers I would get 300 FPS After installing "fglrx" drivers from ATI, glxgears shows 1200 FPS!
For me I had to run fglrxconfig utility which added a ton of stuff into xorg.conf. Without those settings in xorg.conf, you will not get the full speed and 3D support.
