I've disabled them one by one but the > situation does not improve. This is KDE 4.5.1 on Kubuntu. > I had the same problem (00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)) on a macbook 2,1 and solved it removing the blur effect: System-settings --> Desktop Effects --> All effects This solved my problem. If it doesn't work I'd try to disable all desktop effect, see if the problem still there, if it doesn't then try to re enable those that you need one by one, to identify the buggy one.
