Comment 24 for bug 565981

Something possibly helpful, or not, since I'm visually impaired one of the first things I do is right click the desktop, adjust fonts, etc, and particularly DISABLE the 3D stuff. That is, even if enabled by default, if Visual Effects shows "Normal", I change it to "None".

That's how the unaffected Lucid desktop was prior to booting into the affected one. I tried to change it back to "Normal" and it wouldn't!

I booted into the affected one and checked. It is also set to "None" and I think I'll leave it alone and boot into one of the installs I did during iso testing to try the "patch/revert". That way I'll still be able to gather info from the one that slowed to a crawl and the one that seems unaffected.

Someone much smarter than I am would have to tell me what info gather, and how to gather it.
