that's pretty good. ATI has an enormous driver development team, many of
whom are dedicated to raw performance optimization. I can promise you that
the generic radeon linux drivers don't have that level of tuning, though ATI's
linux drivers should incorporate the major enhancements.</FONT></DIV>

Under Windows the performance of quake3 SVN is ok, but when I try it
under linux it´s almost unplayable. I´m using the open-source "radeon"
driver and SuSE 10.0. What can I do here?

Hard to say without seeing your X server log file at least, but with
that little video RAM, my first guess would be that texture memory is
tight. You can try increasing the amount of AGP memory used with Option
"GARTSize", or if you're running in depth 24, try 16 instead.
