I've tried switching drivers and then going back to the driver that worked just fine before which believe it or not is the Nvidia Nouveau driver. Open-GL won't work with anything else. As for the newer drivers that have been coming out in the last few weeks my desktop (GUI) won't launch at all with any of them so Nvidia 346.35 not only didn't go well it didn't go at all. None of the other De-facto Drivers that came with 14.10 worked either (304.125, 304.

Have you checked that the Desktop Effects - Advanced has not reverted to
"Xrender" that normally (for me at least) does not work with a number of
effects?

I have also toyed around with kernel 4.0 and found that in many rc
version it would not recognize any usb-devices or sd-cards inserted. The
final version seems OK though
