sorry for being a pain in the ass, but I found an interesting article

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Rei...

As Described in X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance, some laptops with intel graphics hardware experience a serious performance degration after upgrading from intrepid to jaunty. The reasons for that are already explained on that page. This page explains how to revert the driver to the version in intrepid.

I will do some tests this week and update you on the result (which one is faster).

Todd,
One, final tip

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/U...

It might work - comment of (sort of) a happy user:

Aspire One 110L. Better overall performance, almost on intrepid EXA level, but still way slower than hardy. kwin disables composite almost every time I connect to the wlan and the notifier plasmoid is shown, but I can enable it again and the system is still responsive; this also happened under similar conditions in intrepid. No suspend issues. Had corruption once trying to play a ogv video, but never again, so it could have been a kwin problem.

Hey man
Just one more very good tip for you - IF you have enough memory, you can put firefox cache in ramdisk (using tmpfs). This is a great boost for performance, as no write to S-L-O-W SSD is needed. only disadvantage is the fact this temporary cache will be "erased" every time you restart your machine. which IMHO is actually an advantage and not a disadvantage.

Hi there
For the display - if you want it to run in an accelerated mode, you need to add to /etc/X11/xorg.conf in Section the following:

Section "Device"
(...)
Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS,VGA"
Option "Clone" "true"
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
VideoRam 229376
Option "CacheLines" "1980"
Option "NoDDC"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
(...)
DisplaySize 195 113
EndSection

Last but not least, edit /etc/profile and add after the last line (umask 022):

...
umask 022

export INTEL_BATCH=1

That's it, restart and enjoy your truly amazing netbook.
