FlightGear on Rawhide

[Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX N2469R]

Intel DG33BU motherboard with Intel Graphics 1920x1200

With desktop effects enabled, Flightgear appears on a vacant
part of the screen, not at 0,0.  But there is no title bar.

Turning off desktop effects allowed GlightGear to run
with title bar.  However, maximizing FlightGear results
in a painfully refresh rate.

FlightGear on FC8 with the 9600GT and Nvidia beta
driver gives a good experience maximized with desktop
effects enabled. 

I would say the Intel driver and/or the integrated graphics
just don't have the performance to run FlightGear at
1920x1024.  Hence the desire for  more performance.
