Thanks, but it did not work.. Something was changed in the lucid's (and I think karmik's) xorg so it became incompatible with old
intel drivers. And actually the 2.6 driver is the one shipped in jaunty (i.e. the one where the performance regression started). I think at present there is no much sense in trying to install ancient packages in the new environment.
BTW, I tried recent 2.12 driver from xorg-edgers ppa (along with all drm, xorg and mesa complementaries), it seems the performance even decreases when I test it with kwin enabled (e.g. glblur shows 40 FPS instead of 50 FPS as previously). No changes with kwin disabled. I feel likely that the 3D performance issues in the intel graphics will not be seriously dealt with before the 3.0 series. At present they are mainly cleaning the old EXA/DRI code and fixing bugs in the new UXA/DRI2/etc. code.
