Thank you All, For your valuable feedbacks, I will test GNOME-3 again w/o animations as suggested, while I am on MATE for the time being. Using X with EXA acceleration for TRIDENT video chip has problems updating display occasionally, trailing some garbage on the screen, it looks as if it could

Dear Stefan, Yes "Wheezy" under GNOME-2, and "Jessie" under GNOME-3 I see, it has to do with graphics after all. X.Org's XAA and EXA are 2D accelerators, right? My PC mainboard manual states it has got on-chip AGP 2D/3D. "Wheezy" performs well with XAA, that is not maintained upstream any
