Comment 8 for bug 350933

HI juhuu,
you have the same graphics card like me. You have my commiseration.

No, I have no problems with the 3d desktop effects (gnome). The problem appears only when using 3D apps (about 10-30 minutes after the start of the app).

I recognize heavy cpu load on one of my processors during the use of the 3d apps (but everything runs fluently), therefore I assume that some graphic computation is done by the cpu (I can't remember that was the case with fglrx). There could also be errors in the cpu-specific part of the driver (or the cpu itself, who knows)

Anyway: I don't know if my bug is a duplivate of yours. I'm not deep enough into kwin, compiz, opengl and such. BUT: I remember having similar problems like yours when trying out kde on jaunty a while ago. I don't know if they still appear, but I could test it if it really helps.
