You can figure out what card you have using the command below. Is this
hardy, intrepid or jaunty?

lspci | grep Display

The tests use XRender directly, so they won't be affected by installing
those packages.

There'll be a noticable performance degradation if you only install the
xulrunner package. If you also install the cairo package, you should be
fine. You'll probably have to pull in a few dependencies from jaunty to
be able to use the package on intrepid (I can't put intrepid packages in
my PPA, unfortunately).
