21 Okay I got direct rendering to work, I think by removing the intel
22 framebuffer from my kernel modules. Now my graphics are definitely
23 faster, but not as fast as they once were before I upgraded to the 2.8
24 intel driver series. For instance, Facebook.com on Firefox is much
25 slower and laggy. And I've noticed it even in apps like mutt and less in
26 gnome-terminal. I haven't experienced any freezes though, and the way it
27 was before, it *definitely* would have frozen by now. So any thoughts on
28 why it is slower? Do you think it will be faster in subsequent releases?
29 I thought uxa was supposed to be better than whatever I had before.
