Most of the systems I'm using UMS as otherwise 3D doesn't work or there
are some other problems. I think one of them is running KMS as that works
a bit better on that system with what I or the other users do. It's all a
bit hit and miss as to what applications works best with what settings.

On the ATI X300 system sometimes text is written in blue rather than
black. Some square areas when repainted seem to have a horizontal
tearing as if a bit-blt had the wrong xstep value. One of the others
seems to not repaint square areas occasionally. 3D rendering is variable
especially on the performance side.

In general, as far as I am concerned, although ATI graphics works to a
degree its all a bit shaky and quite dependent of the specific chipset,
card and applications you use.
