For reference, here's the "really crappy graphics driver" on my
(cheap) laptop where XRender is smooth and nice and OpenGL is horribly
slow:
Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME,
943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
However, on my netbook -- where the performance of the two
acceleration methods is exactly reversed -- lspci gives EXACTLY the
same output for the display controller.
Whatever. I'm not complaining, I've found settings that work on each
machine. But it's very weird ... :)
