Well, in Debian I had to use a snapshot driver from <a href="http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots</a>.
In Ubuntu, I haven't tried that yet, but I do know based on
/var/log/Xorg.0.log, everything seems fine. Ubuntu takes pride in
supporting the newest of hardware. I suppose I should try the snapshots
again.

<div></div>I have a Dell Inspiron E1705 - 1920x1200 Resolution with an Intel
945GM / 950 GMA card. In Xorg 6.9, full screen scrolling worked perfectly.
Super smooth. It worked smoothly in any terminal including gnome-terminal.
When running a timed cat, I could output /usr/share/dict/words in seconds.
Both Debian and Ubuntu recently switched to Xorg 7.0. Now, it takes 24 seconds
to scroll the words file... Here is the weird thing. DVD playback, mpeg
playback, window movement, even scrolling in Firefox are perfectly fast. Even
3D is fully supported. It's just Scrolling in terminals or word processors
that are DOG SLOW. When doing so, the X process takes 99% of my cpu... I have
posted to debian and ubuntu bug lists with no help. Sure, if I run my laptop
in 1024x768 resolution, scrolling is fine. But I don't want to run my system
that way... <br><br></span></div><div><span class="q">Something seems to be wrong with the i810 module in Xorg
7.0. Can anyone please help me? I am at witts end. I run gnome-terminal and
ssh daily, 8 hours a day. It is S L O W.<br><br></span></div><div>Please
