Thanks.
I use i915GM video chipset, and only can have something
like ~58FPS when I start to play video or start to move
mouse around (quickly enough). In other cases I have 25.
This also happens in game (quake) normally I have 20-25,
but if things starts to move around the FPS goes up as
well.
Is it a bug, and do I have to fill it up on bugzilla?
Thanks.
