Hi, Following Gordon Jin's announcement a couple of weeks ago I decided to try and get my Intel DH55HC/Core i5-661 machine updated. I attempted to meet the requirements shown here:

I do use an xorg.conf file because I'm dual screen and I haven't determined how to get KDE to show me things correctly without it. It's shown below. Now, two things I'd like to address: 1) When I ran glxgears a year ago it gave me about 1000FPS. Today it seems locked to the refresh rate: firefly ~ # glxgears -info Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
