Reproduce:
ok, can you attach the following info: to see our driver mappings I need to see output of command: "lspcidrake -v" to see what the kernel sees, and if it mis-detect something I need to see dmesg.txt from command: dmesg >dmesg.txt and to see how x11 server behaves, the log: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
CC: (none) => tmb
Also, as per bug 44, please try editing the kernel parameters at boot up, and adding the option divider=10

Created attachment 5024 [details] 3520x1200 Mageia 4/KDE 4.11.4 screenshot URL loaded in browsers in screenshot: http://fm.no-ip.com/Auth/dpi-screen-window.html I just spent over an hour configuring the Radeon X600 dual head setup running on 1066MHz FSB 3.06GHz E7600 Core2Duo with 4G DDR2 800 RAM, then setting up this screenshot of Konsole, 5 web browser windows, and several accessory windows. I noted no sloth of any kind, though I do have 'Option "Composite" "Disable"' set in Xorg, as I do in all Linux distro installations regardless of DE used or hardware.

The asked for information had been provided in comment #3. However this bug report is now quite old. Is it still valid in Mageia 4? In Mageia 5RC?
Mageia 4 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-09-19. It is is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we weren't able to fix it before Mageia 4's end of life. If you are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. If it's valid in several versions, select the highest and add MGAxTOO in whiteboard for each other valid release. Example: it's valid in cauldron and Mageia 5, set to cauldron and add MGA5TOO. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you most [2].

As announced over a month ago, Mageia 4 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-09-19. It is is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. This issue may have been fixed in a later Mageia release, so, if you still see it and didn't already do so: please upgrade to Mageia 5 (or, if you read this much later than this is written: make sure you run a currently maintained Mageia version) If you are able to reproduce it against a maintained version of Mageia, you are encouraged to 1. reopen this bug report, by changing the "Status" from "RESOLVED - OLD" to "REOPENED" 2. click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. If you know it's valid in several versions, select the highest and add MGAxTOO in whiteboard for each other valid release. Example: it's valid in cauldron and Mageia 5, set to cauldron and add MGA5TOO. 3. give as much relevant information as possible. If you're not an experienced bug reporter and have some time: please read this page: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_report_a_bug_properly If you see a similar issue, but are _not_sure_ it is the same, with the same cause, then please file a new bug report and mention this one in it (please include the bug number, too). If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you most [2].
