1) I use slim, and I have no problems with Xorg-server-1.5.3-r5, have you tried recompiling slim, or enabling logging on it to see what's going on? 2) Some combinations of intel drivers + intel card + xorg-1.5 + kernel do not behave properly. My card used to go over 800 fps with glxgears, and now, with the new drivers and xorg, I'm stuck around 300, general performance is no better. Its a shame, had to drop compiz-fusion, for example. I hope for better support on new releases of intel driver. 3) Your touchpad is in absolute mode. You gotta change it to relative mode, its a configuration problem, check hal fdi configs for your touchpad. -- Daniel da Veiga
