So  Option "NoAccel" "true"

makes GIMP behave. 

However it breaks the desktop in strange ways. The file browser no longer
launches at all from Ubuntu Gnome panel menu. The red desktop which renders
icon pictures and files from my desktop folders, no longer appears. I get the
vanilla orange desktop with no icons. The quit option no longer works when
clicked from the gnome panel menu or when clicked in the upper right location
of the upper gnome panel. Alarmingly typing gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf at
the terminal did not show the request for a password, but let me edit and save
the file as if I had authorized access. Not that the graphics driver is
responsible for any of the bad behavior in this paragraph- I just felt I should
note it.

My xorg.conf file uses no options in the Devices section, I have uploaded it.
Is there documentation on what they are and what they do? I spent quite a bit
of time in the Ubuntu forms adding and removing things from xorg.conf only to
find out that enabling 3d acceleration required the above changes to
/etc/modules, rather than anything in xorg.conf.
