[ltp] Ubuntu Hardy: Intel video driver slow/broken on Thinkpad X41

[Charles E "Rick" Taylor IV]

I've got a Thinkpad X41 tablet with an Intel 915 video chip.  I've just
installed Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 and have noticed that (among the *rest* of
the bugs) that 3D performance has dropped markedly compared to the
previous Ubunto (Gutsy 7.10).

I realized that 3D isn't going to be fast on an X41, but I observe that
certain apps that used to run acceptably (celestia, some of the OpenGL
screensavers, Google Earth) now display a single frame per second or
less - making them totally unusable.

Anyone else having 3D issues with Hardy on an X41?  (Or on any other
Thinkpad with Intel video?)
