Been overtaken now by 2.6.33 in -Current. Upgraded to current last night
and the same issue surfaced as in my own kernel, so it was not something
'done wrong'.
Sound and video in 3d still choppy.
There's got to be a significant difference between 2.6.29/30 to the
2.6.32/33 ones re. graphical subsystem. I think I read people having
similar problems with intel chips.
Whatever, I'm going back to stable and a 2.6.29.6 kernel.

Thanks,

Barnabyh
