well, as said, I'm new to ubuntu/debian and saw an xorg.conf with little 
in it. But it seems things have changed with respect to my previous 
distro, SuSE-11.0

It began with googleearth telling me that:

You are currently running Google Earth in 'OpenGL' with software
emulation. In this mode, Google Earth will work, but it will run very
slowly...

And then I realized that X is indeed slower than it was under SuSE-11.0.
As regards my last question: Is there a tool to help with the 
configuration? -  I had the SaX-tool in SuSE-11.0, what is the 
ubuntu-tool for it - or does it not exist?
