Do another update/upgrade today. Some of the Xorg packages were broke
yesterday, and seem to be fixed today.

I did the Jaunty upgrade. GoogleEarth worked OK, but still slow.
Lattice Screensaver - there is about a two second delay between, lets
say, donuts, refreshing their new positions. Like the old flip-books,
except you are not flipping fast enough. Metacity broke.

I got a notice of 122 or so updates this morning and downloaded them
all. Now, I get the GoogleEarth splash screen, the globe spins up a
little, then the program quits (disappears).

Maybe I've just screwed this up too badly. I've bounced back and forth
between mesa-glx and mesa-swx11. I've dug up old xorg.conf files and
started with fresh reconfigurations. I've screwed with DRM, FB, INTEL
and i810, i915 settings in config-2.6.28-2-generic.

Like I've said, maybe I've just dug myself too deep a hole.
