the XAA acceleration workaround just partially fixes that issue on dell inspirion 1525.

With XAA:

+ no rendering glitches when starting new program (firefox, thunderbird, etc)
* OpenGL rendering still has problems (when moving glxgears window), but they were on Hardy as well
- rendering issues still remains in Google Earth
- Google Earth works for 10-20 seconds and than system is completely freezes (have to reboot)
- no video output in mplayer (if X11/Xv video driver chosen)
- web cam not working (have no idea how this could be related)

With EXA:

- rendering glitches when starting new program (firefox, thunderbird, etc)
+ Google Earth do not freezes, but have rendering issues (blinking)
+ video output in mplayer (if X11/Xv video driver chosen) allows to see correct output when rotating compiz's cube (in Hardy it was not working)

Performance is the same in both accel modes ~ 500fps in glxgears. On Hardy was ~ 1100fps.
