Hopefully not.. :)

Interesting. I will try this, with XAA things are still not that crash
hot. Things "seem" slower than in Intrepid but it is hard to gauge.
oocalc for one still seems slow.

Seems we are identical (Mine is a T42 Thinkpad running the internal
15" LCD + 27" LCD via DVI on a docking station).

I see this also:

 636 (II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering enabled
 637 (II) RADEON(0): XAA Render acceleration unsupported on Radeon
9500/9700 and newer. Please use EXA instead.
 638 (II) RADEON(0): Render acceleration disabled

But didn't think much of it. Perhaps there is more to this than
originally thought. I will go back to EXA and wait a few hours
instead of getting impatient. I am very interested in your exact
config so that I can try to replicate what you are getting.
