Thanks for the insight. Rereading the Xorg log carefully, I pay attention now to this: [ 154.482] (II) Loading sub module "xaa" [ 154.482] (II) LoadModule: "xaa" [ 154.485] (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libxaa.so [ 154.500] (II) Module xaa: vendor="X.Org Foundation" [ 154.500] compiled for 1.12.3, module version = 1.2.1 [ 154.500] ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 12.0 [ 154.501] (EE) module ABI major version (12) doesn't match the server's versi on (14) [ 154.501] (II) UnloadModule: "xaa" [ 154.501] (II) Unloading xaa [ 154.501] (EE) NV: Failed to load module "xaa" (module requirement mismatch, 0) Could someone who knows please shed some light on when exactly this acceleration was dropped? It wasn't _this_ slow a few weeks ago. > The reasons for *not* buying NVIDIA > have gotten even stronger. This laptop was a gift, I swear :-)
