I have recently updated from 10.3 to 11.0 in the hope to solve some of my X issues such as bad video playback performace (fullscreen not possible) and excessive X memory and CPU useage. Sadly, the upgrade made things worse.

glxgears gives me about 50fps, screen update is really slow, on restart of the X-server, it just hangs.
Ideas anyone?
