After a couple of freezes with the x-swat's team drivers, I've reset
everything to current jaunty and installed the above drivers. Currently
I'm back in compiz and no freeze for the last day, and performance isn't
bad either (nothing earth shuttering, but glxgears at 850FPS is a bit
better then what I'm used to from Intel GMA).
