eMachines m6809 laptop with ATI Radeon Mobility 9600
Has very poor video performance under Intrepid / Jaunty, very poor (stuttering/choppy) flash playback in full screen - nearly un-usable.

Adding the folling option greatly increase performance under Jaunty:

Option "AccelDFS" "on"
Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
Option "MigrationHeuristic" "smart" # "greedy" works well also
Option "EnablePageFlip" "on"
Option "EnableDepthMoves" "on"
Option "ColorTiling" "on"
Option "FBTexPercent" "0"
Option "RenderAccel" "on"

Performance is still not quite as good Hardy with ATI's closed drivers, but much better than Jaunty or Intrepid defaults.
