For Some Reason, when I saw your query, the very first thing I thought
of was, "Nvidia".
My guess wasn't wrong.
In fact, that machine is loaded with nvidia hw. If you fixed
the video, I suspect you will slam into other walls shortly after.
Could I interest you in a new computer? There's not much in that thing
I'd call redeeming. In fact, I've tossed a lot of better computers years
ago. Well, it is interesting, in that it's a ~2006 Dell with an AMD proc,
but that's "interesting" as a collector's item, not a "use it for work"
thing.
If you really want a dab of perfume on this pig, try a cheap ATI
video card in whatever slots you have available in it. However, once
you do that, you will probably realize you have lousy disk performance
and unreliable USB. And you don't have much memory in the thing.
I'm a tad bit curious about your implying the X performance got bad
after 6.6...did this thing really not suck in 6.6 and before? Maybe
there was regression in old nvidia hw with newer nvidia support?
Nick.
