I have the ubiquitous and difficult display problems. I have a very limited understanding of everything regarding graphic display mechanics, and Gnome specific terms, so please let me know if you suspect communication errors on my end. All of my applications are having their own fairly similar sets of problems.
Desktop response is laggy, generally a one second delay when I hit the pseudo-windows key, and then stuttering (frame drop?) while resuming.
Document viewer lags while scrolling in a diagonal stepped pattern, and Firefox does the same with a little 'tearing' on the steps. Terminal isn't noticeably troublesome.
My hardware is more than capable using better supported operating systems (no emotions implied).
Here is some basic information: Gnome3, gdm, and here is my lspci -vvnn|grep -m 1 -A 70 5800

I am ready to output more information. Is there a way to code block text without using the indent method described here? My terminal output for /var/log/gdm/\:0.log contains some invisible (non-whitespace/newline) characters which break the indent code block on every line. My protocol is:
cat /.../log > new.info
gedit new.info
select all, and paste. In the preview pane, it is clear that the return key does nothing now.
