Hi,
The slow window drawing problem may be linked to fglrx. Your chipset is supported by the open source radeon driver (xf86-video-ati). Just pull in Xorg, mesa, and xf86-video-ati from experimental. Edit the xorg.conf to make it use "radeon" as the Driver, and enable EXA. The slow window drawing problem should go away. As for the power consumption issue, Im clueless.
Regards,
Karthik

Hi,
having installed KDE4 from experimental this weekend I noticed two major
problems:
- some components cause insane amounts of wakeups (about 100++/s) which
result in a power consumtion about 1.5 time the consumption if the latest
kde3 packages from unstable.
- regardless of eye candy options, maximizing windows takes about 3-5s,
during which th system is completely unresponsive.
(needlessly to say that I switched back to kde3 within an hour or so ;-)
The machine is a Lenovo Z61m with an ATI Radeon Mobility X1400. I use the
lastest fglrx driver.

Dietz
