very bad, and very weird, scrolling text performance xorg 1.5.3 intel 2.5.1 GM965

You really need the glyph cache in the X server to get decent text performance out of the 2.5 intel driver. The patches are pretty straightforward to backport, but it is my understanding that a 1.6 server will be uploaded to jaunty soon, so you might want to wait for that. Jeffrey W. Baker
