But the Radeon 9250 is a RV280 chip and not a RV370 one, I think that's
why yours works and mine doesn't.
I'm running the radeon driver on a Radeon 9500pro (R300) and I don't see
any crashes but the performance went downhill quite dramatically about a
week or two after the modular release in rawhide. I'm not sure what the
cause of this is but profiling shows that the system spends a lot of time
in the function "fbCopyAreammx" which looks a bit odd to me. Right after
the modular release in rawhide things worked extremely well though and
modular-x + Composite (without shadows and/or translucency though) worked
just as smooth as any WindowsXP desktop out there. That's no longer the
case right now.
