Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Version: 1:6.5.8.0-1
Severity: normal
Rendering RGBA images is awfully slow with ATI cards. Several testing
and unstable users have been confirmed the issue, most of them mentioning
that for them it has been regression after upgrade from 6.8.
Good demonstration is http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=10187
with Konqueror browser. First two screenshots are RGBA, third one is
RGB. Rendering of first two images is really slow, scrolling is sluggish
etc, third one appears instantly and no any problem with scrolling.
