disturbedsaint,

Thanks, let me address your points:
1. That's right, nvidia-glx is installed on my system and so the nv driver can't initialize GLX.
2. Ditto, see above.
3. This may be a symptom of the above too, so I don't know.

In light of this, I'm running the benchmarks again, this time using the herd 5 livecd instead, and have copied xorg.conf from herd 4. I checked the resulting logs and libvm86.so is still being loaded; it's because of the new xorg build, I believe. I ran a quick test, "x11perf -umove" - here's the results (herd 4 livecd vs herd 5 livecd):

514000.0 186000.0 ( 0.36) Moved unmapped window (4 kids)
503000.0 185000.0 ( 0.37) Moved unmapped window (16 kids)
496000.0 184000.0 ( 0.37) Moved unmapped window (25 kids)
485000.0 184000.0 ( 0.38) Moved unmapped window (50 kids)
472000.0 182000.0 ( 0.39) Moved unmapped window (75 kids)
465000.0 181000.0 ( 0.39) Moved unmapped window (100 kids)
452000.0 175000.0 ( 0.39) Moved unmapped window (200 kids)

As you can see, these results reflect my initial benchmarks on my installed herd 5 system. I'm running the full set right now to be sure, and if anything significantly changes I'll post them here.
