Had the same problem with my old ATI M6 LY (as the original poster), see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1108844 . Today I upgraded my PC at work, and got the same poor performance with a Radeon 9200 Pro. Switching to XAA also brought back the performance I was used to in Intrepid.

Is there any way to detect whether an ATI card works better with EXA or XAA (besides trying)?
