Just a note that my video problems with Intel video
are resolved after a couple of files were removed/modified
on my machine. See bug#606348



Thanx for keeping us posted.

 Would this be the problem or part of the problem in the slow video?

Probably. 

Mmm, wait... there was a recent thread about this same issue not so long 
ago:

Is DRI supposed to work in xserver-xorg-video-intel?

Maybe you can check if you are in the same situation :-?

I read something about old intel chips not being that well supported
anymore since the switch to KMS. Do you have KMS enabled (on a recent
kernel: not disabled)?

 I have reconfigured X and ran it with the new xorg.conf.

I would try moving the xorg.conf completely out of the way. You probably
don't need it. You might need the mouse section because of the
ZAxisMapping, if at all.

 The one thing that stands out is the line about it not being
 able to implement dri2.

Yes, that might be it.

   I did :)
   I have since discovered it is an Intel/XOrg problem. DRI is not
being enabled on my machine because the Shadow buffer is on in X.
The solution is to disable the shadow buffer, and so DRI will get
enabled. That however means the GPU is more susceptible to lockups,
which I have experienced in the past.
Strange that Ubuntu Maverick does not suffer from this problem
Maybe time to buy a good Linux-supported video card!!

Thanks to all who had suggestions
