I've been wondering about ATI acceleration lately. A Compaq/HP mini
Tower I just got has an ATI Radeon 3100 (or a HD 3100, if you prefer
the spec sheet over lspci). I wasn't having much luck with the open
source driver to see video on the screen at all. Finally got the
proprietary one installed and configured properly ( i think). I don't
really know how to "evaluate" how well the acceleration is working.
flgrx_gears silliness gives ~300 fps over a few minutes. I've got no
idea what it is actually supposed to be. But some other yoker at
least has similar:

Doesn't seem much better (or worse) than intell integrated graphics,
other than setup and actually getting a driver to work.
