Title:
  Severe Graphics lag after upgrade to 14.10

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  After running a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 OS for several months without any
  problems, my pc now has several video lag issues after upgrading to
  14.10.  Everything is noticeably slower :streaming video, moving
  windows around in the desktop, playing steam games is impossible now
  and any other kind of game.  Searched everywhere for a solution.  Will
  probably revert back to fresh 14.04 install since there seems to be no
  immediate remedy.

  
  keep getting msg:

  Your system is providing 3D via software rendering rather than
  hardware rendering.  This is a compatibility mode which should display
  3D graphics properly but the performance may be very poor.  If the
  problem you're reporting is related to graphics performance, your real
  question may be why X didn't use hardware acceleration for your system

  
  tried several things but could not fix thus far.  There didn't appear to be a standard answer for this anywhere.  I'm using an older AMD gpu but that shouldn't break everything when it worked well before.  I wasn't using proprietary but rather the open source drivers that are supposed to be default.
