    Well, thats what I call great support.

    Please tel me how to
    Uninstall and blacklist the Gallium driver. Purge the fglrx driver if you haven't done so already.

    Code:
    sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx*
    Code:
    sudo apt-get remove --purge glxinfo && sudo apt-get install glxinfo
    Check here for how to blacklist the Gallium driver.

    Edit: Just happened to realize that if you installed via AMD's website, you'll probably need to uninstall the driver following their instructions.

    You probably don't have it installed, so it quit on the first command.

    Install glxinfo. It is not required, but it reports some information that might be useful.

    Good.

    Is your performance good now? Or are you still experimenting with that?

    So far, not so good!

    Now I'm facing great performance issues in Firefox (12.0) in plain html pages (like this one), nothing about flash or animations or videos.

    When scrolling the page up and down the scrolling gets pretty slow!
