Back to the original topic. I have 2.6.29 running but KMS always locks
up the laptop when X starts. And 3D is horribly slow. While glxgears has
sped up
2131 frames in 5.0 seconds = 426.172 FPS
2141 frames in 5.0 seconds = 428.160 FPS
2143 frames in 5.0 seconds = 428.454 FPS
2129 frames in 5.0 seconds = 425.781 FPS

my real "benchmark" chromium B.S.U dropped from high 50's to 8FPS. Wow
is back to unplayable and opengl still doesn't work.
