I saw there was some new stuff in the xorg crack pushers ppa, so I
downgraded to jaunty native from the x-update repo, and the updated into
the crack-pushers repo....On my first reboot I noticed that despite my
xorg config that the new builds had me using UXA, not sure if that is
intended or not, but perhaps a warning about it would be nice...With the
updates some of the compiz stuff feels smoother, however I experienced a
lockup on launching a video using mplayer's xv Intel(R) Video Overlay
option, which had been fixing the horrible screen tearing I have been
getting on every driver and kernel I have tested (which is all of them I
think).  The lock up involved giving me aandom green screen, and no
control over anyting.  I am currently running kernel 2.6.29.4 because it
seems to be giving me the best video performance, Keep in mind that this
is in UXA now, and I haven't experienced any hard lockups like this in
UXA with any of the prior drivers, although there had been plenty of
memory leaks which prevented me from using UXA as my deault......I
realize this is a little off this bug topic, but it happend while
attempting a fix for this bug so I thought I would mention it....Also it
doesn't happen every time I open a video with that option, although the
systems behavior becomes odd every time I do it.................Also
even more of topic, pulseaudio has been acting like a psychotic abusive
drunk stepfather every time I try to play media since I switched to
2.6.29.4, randomly taking 100% of my cpu, triggering the oom and filling
up my swap and fun stuff like that, not sure if it is related, but
certainly adds to the fun I have been having with jaunty!!! ( relax
ubuntu devs, I don't blame you, I blame whoever decided to do a complete
overhaul on the intel driver right before 2 of the  biggest linux
distro's (fedora and ubuntu)  were coming out with there latest releases
