Xorg ati driver on Thinkpad T43

[Chris Wilson]

Hi all,

it's seems that sometime between Sep. 8th and Sep 17th. the default
xorg driver fro my Thinkpad T43 changed from vesa to ati.

The performance of the ATI driver is really bad. when scrolling in
firefox or moving a window the vertical scan line is very noticable.
It takes a full second for the curtain rising/falling effect to get
from bottom to top.

I've now changed the driver to vesa and everything seems as before
(not great but usable).

Any reason for this?

Chris
