Over the past couple of months, and especially over the past couple of weeks, I've been working very hard to write and complete my thesis. I performed all the work on Windows 7, but now that the thesis is finally done, submitted, and accepted, I installed Ubuntu - and immediately I was reminded of why I do not do any serious work on Linux: the train wreck that is X.org.

The "bad drivers" has always been such an universal excuse that I can only laugh in despair.
It's total nonsense.
I can see this on every computer with any graphics card with any driver with any X.org settings. Accelerated, unaccelerated, XAA, EXA, XRENDER, noRENDER, whatever. I even replaced the NVIDIA card on my computer with an ATI card to see what kind of difference it makes. Absolutely no difference whatsoever in anything.
