What CPU/speed and gfxchip does it have?
It's a Celeron 1.5GHz with ATI Radeon Xpress 200M. Not exactly a powerful workstation, but it's been doing a fine job until this upgrade.
slow and difficult to work with. I could always re-install 11.4, but I thought I'd ask about the possibility of doing a downgrade?

1:create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-composite.conf containing: Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Disable" EndSection
Is this related to openGL compositing? When I go into "System Settings"->"Desktop Effects", it says OpenGL Compositing is disabled due to an earlier crash.
2:disable automatic nepomuk/strigi startup: A:make sure ~/.kde4/share/config/nepomukserverrc includes: [Basic Settings] Start Nepomuk=false
