This option is not selected in my configuration but is is slow since
the upgrade to X.org 7.2 with firefox. I have alse rebuild firefox after
all was rebuild. It is only with Firefox.
I have the following modules loaded.
Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension
Load "extmod"
Load "glx"
The card is a Radeon 9250 AGP.
What can I try?
