2D can also be pretty sluggish at times. The following shows the nv
driver in its fully glory as I was leafing through a page of photos:

Moreover, the nv driver does

Moreover, the nv driver does not provide a way to properly control
brightness and contrast. I would say it is strictly necessary for
anyone who is into photography to use the nvidia-driver, even if they
are not remotely interested in 3D.

After running a 90 hour portupgrade job on my current Duron 1600 based system
I've persuaded myself that a hardware upgrade is due.
simply use precompiled ones if it's a problem.
anyway - i don't what bloatware you have compiled but on my 1200Mhz

It was an Athlon X2 4600+ and the onboard graphics was GeForce 7100.
Usually the integrated graphics come from the lower-spec graphic chipsets and
are well supported by the open source nv driver. As long as you don't need
good to know at least partially things changed to better.

not a very helpful comment at all. Durons were pretty crap.

by general there are lots of problems with nvidia as it's closed source.
i always avoid closed source.

I'd really stay away from ATI, for your purposes, either go with nvidia or
Intel onboard.
nothing wrong with xorg-driver-radeonhd or xorg-driver-ati for
ATi/AMDs graphics cards, providing you don't need 3D now on newer
hardwares.
