It would be brilliant that the Debian community were able to do better than the upstream :-D

I think that this thread would be interesting for them. Nevertheless, I am enclosing some pieces of extra info at the end of this mail

In principle it looks the same. But, who knows

With metacity, videos (or rather, this particular video) is OK, so there is nothing to fix with metacity.
Now, some pieces of extra information:
1) At boot, it reads something like "skipping blacklisted module i8xx_tco". Is it right?
2) On one on the former threads, it read how to change by hand the linear allocation. I played around, setting very big numbers. Although the problem with videos was NOT fixed, gnome was much faster; as it should be, because the computer is Pentium dual core with 2 GB RAM. So it looks like if the graphic driver were slowing down all the usage (so I could have purchased a cheaper computer :-D ).
3) The output when starting Beryl:
$ beryl-manager
