Re: ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 IGP - Horrible performance !
I am having the exact same issues with my ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 video card. I have been researching this problem for a while now and I cannot find any real solution. I've tried messing around with interlacing settings, something to do thing "-Xv" or video output settings, disabling desktop effects does not change anything, various alterations to my xorg.conf file don't help either. Essentially there are two options:
1. Use the open source driver. You probably won't be able to enjoy any useful desktop effects (even as basic as transparency) and you probably won't be able to enjoy anything which is three dimensional, but your DVDs will look great.
2. Use the non-free fglrx driver. Enjoy desktop effects, and 3d capabilities, and get headaches, maybe even seizures due to the horrendous quality of any video you try to watch.
On the positive side, it would seem that a lot of people are experiencing this exact same problem, so there is a slim possibility that ATI may consider doing something about it.
