Sorry, I admit I was a bit frustrated earlier and was a tad unwilling to spend much more time with this bug, but today I'm more geared up.

I've attachment my Xorg.0.log. This is basically a result what ubuntu sets up EXCEPT for when I specify the 'i810' driver (like I've stated ubuntu defaults to 'intel'). My graphics card is: Intel Integrated 855GM (Intel(r)852GM/852GME/855GM/855GME)

I think I managed to get it working by specifying DisplaySize but... it was strange. It cause gnome-settings-daemon to crash (every single time and starting it from CLI gave a core segfault) and so it may have been a combination of things leading to a sluggish feel that I was attributing to the intel driver.

So basically, my workaround stands for me of switching back to i810 (I keep saying this in case someone else sees this with the same problem :D)

If someone wants, I'll be around #ubuntu+1 for basically... all day today and most of tomorrow so I can try things at will. I've got another computer so I can get on IRC there and test stuff here and go through different test scenarios if that would be helpful.
