In light of this just for testament, it has improved the performance of my
Radeon 9700 Pro (R300).

Just one card here in the AGP slot of this old mother board. Some tweaking
that I had to do in order to get it to behave was switch it to PCI mode,
and a few other things listed here:
Option "DMAForXv" "off"
Option "BusType" "PCI"
Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
Option "DynamicPM" "on"
Option "Int10" "on"
Option "DRI" "off"
Option "RenderAccel" "on"
Keep in mind though that this is a hacked up machine with a new video card
in even older hardware so settings mentioned here will rarely match new
machines with equally new hardware.

No panics here because of the driver or new X.org but until the settings
above were put into place and after a few thousand redraws of a browser on
this system I was left to hit the power button and wait for watchdog to
kick in and shut the system down because a frozen non responsive screen.
All is well now. Thanks for the upgrades! nice job to all!
