I started to make the report, but then realised I don't yet have enough info 
to make a useful one regarding the Acer Aspire One (Intel 945GME Express) and 
F10's xorg.  Most of the information I've gathered is about the Radeon 
Mobility X600 on the Mandriva laptop.  I assume that both situations are 
relevant, so when I have enough info I'll do a report that covers both 
hardware configurations.  Having spent a little longer with the netbook, I'm 
not convinced that changing the AccelMethod did as much for the Intel board as 
it did for the ATi one.  I'll give it a bit longer and see if I can get 
anything useful.
