[Bug 95078] Re: Firefox eats 100% of CPU when opens a spreadsheet in google's documents and spreadsheets

Hi, I have a huge problem with [b]ATI Radeon 7000[/b] and VectorLinux5.

The thing is, the Google Documents are running too slow in Firefox
browser.

According to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/95078/comments/19 ...the problem can be solved by enabling [b]XV overlay[/b]. To do that my video card must run fully accelerated. ATI proprietary driver FGLRX driver won't work with this card, it's too old.
 
So I tryed installing [b]DRI[/b]. I followed the guidelines from DRI project website (see http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Building). Everything seemed to bee alright, I was able to run [b]driconf[/b] tool.

I tryed running [b]glxgears[/b], just to see the increase in video card
perforemance but there  wasn't any increase at all. I got 390fps, before
instaling DRI I had the same value. Google Documents were still very
very slow in Firefox.

I turned of the 3D acceleration in driconf and the perforemance in
glxgears was not 380 - 390fps, but only 50fps + the picture was all
messed up. So I think, that DRI worked correctly and it worked even
without installing it, it was in the system all the time, without
knowing it.

Any of you had the same or similar problem? I found a partial solution.
Google Documents are running a little better under Swiftfox.

PS: The card is PCI, PC has two P3-800.
