gaming performance poor on Hoary

[PaulX]

Hi guys. I installed ubuntu and the latest ati drivers from synaptic. I added in xorg.conf fglrx as driver. glxgears gets me around 1200FPS. I start UT2004 after killing esd. I play at high details and withLOD as low no fog. at 1280x800. I have a laptop made by gateway, m505X pentium m 1,4ghz banias 512 mb ram radeon 9600 mobile with 64mb ram. On windows ut runs fine but here it is hitching although it is now swapping. I had the idea of recompiling kernel 2.6.10 with a Ck7 patch and with a proper configuration for my system. And everything went fine except now Ut doesn't start any more and glxgears gives me 200FPS although in xorg.conf says fglrx and i reinstalled the drivers. I tried an ubuntu kernel source with no patches only with compile options from pentium-m didn't work too. What should i do to increase performance in games?
Thanks
P.S. I'm trying to get away of windows so i need your help with gaming

follow the ati guides posted here, it should help. i also had teh same problem and glxgears kept showing 500fps, but now it's always well above 2000. good luck
