With xf86-video-intel (latest) all context menus (RMB) do not show up, I have to move the mouse over the area they should be to make them appear. I had to switch back to native. (With OpenGL not even kdm starts but crashes immediately. But that might be, because I am using EGL/GLES instead of OpenGL) I second that.

I'm running latest ~amd64 (qt 4.6.2, xf86-video-intel) and I'm experiencing some issues: some fonts "jump" up and down in konsole when the cursor highlights them, konsole tab switching is noticeably slower and sometimes (once/twice a day) widgets seem to miss repaint events.

No problems so far. Well, I am amazed it is already enabled on my box. No problems so far.

Depending on hardware, drivers, settings and app (not to mention direction of wind) it can outperform Windows, be utterly slow or just blow up spectacularly. At least state your GPU and driver used.

I see up to 3x performance in drawing for instance in krusader. The kind lord knows you shouldnt be able to see it with the plain eye but this is the state of linux graphics. (ok holding enter on a directory you can see how fast it redraws... raster is clearly faster) Going from 40%+ X cpu usage to max 5% AND FASTER DRAWING is something worth looking at and shows where the problem is. Opengl just doesnt seem as fast and works for only 70% of the apps but im hoping it will be finished soon:) Im just sorry that GTK doesnt have this (chromium:'( ). THANK YOU GENTOO DEVS FOR THIS FINE FLAG:) Dear sirs,
