I don't know what happened to Intel driver :( I installed Fedora 10 to my friends desktop and it's really slow (no effects!) with red stripes all around the screen... I didn't have time to report it, next time I'll visit her I have to look at this issue. With DE on it's almost unusable. Same for my netbook - 3D is incredibly slow (with older Xandros, it was OK)... Seems like proprietary NVidia blob is still best driver for Linux even with gazzilions of issues :( If you want more than basic 2d acceleration... So now I'm not sure about defaulting DE on for F11 - or we should have first login dialog when user can choose - more effects, less effects as it was in 3.x.
