havent noticed any speed improvements.
window resizing is still really slow and unminimizing windows still takes a second.
where can i check if direct2d is activated?

where can i check if direct2d is activated?

Run the following in a terminal:

grep "ATI 2D" /var/log/Xorg.0.log

It should say

(==) fglrx(0): ATI 2D Acceleration Architecture enabled

Run the following in a terminal:

grep "ATI 2D" /var/log/Xorg.0.log

It should say

(==) fglrx(0): ATI 2D Acceleration Architecture enabled

Does it work with xorg server 1.8?

Does it work with xorg server 1.8?

If you patch the xorg server version to report 1.7, yes. They still only support up to xorg 7.5 it seems.

Besides that they still haven't fixed the huge performance drop in HoN that came with 10.5... I wonder if 5xxx owners still crash...
