There is out there a PPA called Guido Iodice Best Intel that basically provides best up-to-date packages for best performance on a intel Vcard.
Now, i was doing the upgrades/updates regularly but a couple of packages where always not update/upgraded, even though it said your system is fully up to date.
Today i entered in synaptic and noticed i can "Mark all upgrades". I pressed the icon and it selected the two packages that i couldn't get them via Update Manager. Their names contained something like "noveau"(for one) and "mesa-dri"(for the other). Clicked apply, and happy was i that i got rid of the "bug".
Now my video performance is actually poorer! I tried OpenArena and my fps are *considerably* lower!
Probably i have installed incompatible packages on force.
Pls someone tell me how to do a rollback!! Or provide a better solution?
Can i boot into my last kernel image, delete this one, and then do an upgrade again? Will that help? I kind of doubt it...
