This is strange, with "FBTexPercent" at 20 performance both with and
without Compiz is markedly *worse*, which indicates to me that I have
not applied your patches correctly or built the packages correctly. I am
now starting afresh with new copies of xorg-server, mesa, and
xf86-video-ati from the Debian source repositories.

There are a number of rejects in the patches when applied to the latest
releases of these packages, should this affect anything or should I be
building from git?
