I'm curious whether it's necessary to disable acceleration entirely, or 
simply revert to the older XAA method.  On my Thinkpad X40, the Intel 
video driver in F10 had significant problems, where the driver on F9 was 
fine.  I could either use XAA or revert to the older driver to get 
proper rendering.

I've attached a minimal xorg.conf.  I believe you can save it to 
/etc/X11 to test each of the options individually.  Try disabling accel, 
and then try using XAA (both options are in the file).  Let us know what 
kind of results you get, and then track down one of the bugzilla reports 
on this subject (I know a few are open) and add your information.
