60 1) I use slim, and I have no problems with Xorg-server-1.5.3-r5, have
61 you tried recompiling slim, or enabling logging on it to see what's
62 going on?
63 2) Some combinations of intel drivers + intel card + xorg-1.5 + kernel
64 do not behave properly. My card used to go over 800 fps with glxgears,
65 and now, with the new drivers and xorg, I'm stuck around 300, general
66 performance is no better. Its a shame, had to drop compiz-fusion, for
67 example. I hope for better support on new releases of intel driver.
68 3) Your touchpad is in absolute mode. You gotta change it to relative
69 mode, its a configuration problem, check hal fdi configs for your
70 touchpad.
