<div dir="ltr">But before I increase the on board display video memory from 32MB to 64MB, I had problem (tearing, sluggish, etc) on that machine. The trick was just to increase the on board memory.

It's a low-res, no problem so far apart a little tearing due to a missing vsync/nvidia on lxde but with Compton enabled and the correct options all play fine. Just to let you know, the video is suggish on my P3 866mhz with i830 and 24 mb Vram...
