17 No, my card is an PCI-Express one, not integrated. And altougth the GS
18 is less powerful than the GT, it's only for a little (it's basically a
19 6800 overclocked to almost the clock speed of the GT). And it has 256
20 mb of memory.

22 I don't buy the texture-from-pixmap explanation; I remember that with
23 Beryl it was *orders* of magnitude more smooth than my i915. The
24 problem is Compiz Fusion and/or the version of X.org. It *could* be
25 the Nvidia drivers, but I doubt it.

27 Thanks for the comment, anyway.
