:D 
sur enough, ok i am running enlightement .16 as desktopmanager, without
too much options enabled (no effects etc)  and for normal work, e.g.
launching and moving xterms, editing documents wth libreoffice etc
there's no lag, as soon as i start some heavy duty graphic apps there's
lag and often some out of synchro lines that appear.

doesn't happen BTW with glxgears, but tested also with a widely
available game: extreme tuxracer

and then there's proprietary software i need running under wine which
doesn't use opengl but the "'$%'«» M$ system.... and those won't
work.....

tried also some heavy graphics games like regnum online, same problem,
they complain of lack of drivers....

i suppose now it has something to do with some lacking in the
translation between windows graphics and opengl :(
