Its about 50fps slower running this kernel (2.6.10-rc2-mm3-VO-31.9) using the cfq scheduler than it would be running a normal kernel and the anticipatory scheduler. But for desktop use, I like the cfq scheduler because it throttles the cpu hogs and keeps the system feeling good even when its up to its butt in alligators busy. There is an option in the kernel config to turn on the DRM stuff, which may not be on by default so you may have to check that and rebuild. My card is a 9200SE with 128 megs of ram.
