Just the typical integrated Intel 94x something. Considering that I want FOSS drivers, hardly a crap choice when I was buying this notebook. Is there some Wiki page or something, listing proper driver switches for using composing Metacity? I am really happy about Metacity providing a composition manager. I'd absolutely like to use it. I just want to question the assumption, composition managers would be default those days. At least with Intel cards - AFAIK - composition is far too slow still to be activated by default. Well, and those cards are pretty common those days. > But none of this is relevent to the gnome-session discussion, so we > shall move it to a seperate thread. Good move.
