Btw. I guess most of this problems should be fixed in Karmic. I have tested -intel 2.7.0 with Kernel 2.6.30, UXA and KMS and it is very fast on my i915. All Compiz animations seems smoth and doesn't lag. Even textured video seems to be fast. Glxgears shows still ~300 frames but as we all know

I can confirm: installing both 2.7.99 intel driver from xorg-edgers AND linux kernel 2.6.30-rc2 has solved performance issues (at least with compiz) and image corruptions with opengl. Now I'm checking for UXA desktop freeze, and will report after night or two of notebook working. PS: MSI Wind

Bryce, Thanks for the update, very informative. You mentioned in your post several reasons for not reverting to an older, more stable version of the -intel driver. And I agree that this would probably be counter- productive, in my experience the -intel driver has never really been stable on

Note to eee pc users. From what I've gathered, the intel driver now defaults to the EXA acceleration method which relies on the GEM memory manager. That should be fine and dandy however note that GEM is not part of the 2.6.27 kernel. So if by any chance you got your kernel from array.org and did
