The last three are your problem. The intel video driver is unable to properly access the DRM subsystem, which will definitely cause X to slow to a crawl. The most likely cause of your errors is that the intel AGP driver (i810 or i915, depending on your hardware) isn't getting loaded. If that's the case, you should see an error such as: [drm] failed to load kernel module i915 in Xorg.0.log just before the ones from intel. If the modules are being loaded, you'll likely see some other errors around that same area.

Re: [gentoo-user] OT:Choosing a filesystem
Its kind of tricky question :) and if You look closely You could find som flames about it :P Iam using ReiserFS for my root and xfs for the rest and testing btrfs. I never gets any problem with broken partition table etc. (and i experienced several quick power downs). But reiserfs have some problems with bkl etc and i am not sure if its still main line active because of developing raiser4. In some reviews You can find that its eats more cpu time too. btrfs could be very nice but its not stable yet (or maybe not for real use :P) Maybe someone could share experience about ext4 - iam using it on my g1 but its hard to say anything ... -- Pozdrawiam, Bartosz Szatkowski You must exorcise any evil proprietary operating systems that possess any of the computers under your control, and then install a wholly/holy free operating system, and then only install Free Software on top of that.
