I tried the less effort downgrade, but with kernel 2.6.18 and 2.6.22 I
had no luck. Sigh, it'll be a pain to test older Xorg versions (i
would be happy to isolate the change who broke things or at least in
which package).  T__T

I try to keep flash disabled most of the time, it locks the browser
too frequently, but yes, last time I tried I noticed windows scrolling
slowdowns with EXA. The GTK glitch i used to see with EXA (usually
with menus) seems fixed tho.

Now that you mention it, sometimes I've found the monitor still
powered on when instead it should have been on stand-by...
