I just upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 and i noticed that graphics are slower. I had the nvidia driver downloaded from their website in 11.04. After the upgrade the pc wouldn't actually boot in kernel 3.0, so i went to 2.x.38 and installed the nvidia driver from the repos. After this change, 3.0 was working but, as i said, with some regressions.OpenArena, for example, was slower. Plus, I noticed in Openarena tearing and in FF too. It may be a system wide thing though, i don't know.

So my question is ... how can i verify if the driver is installed correct?

But if i understood the problem incorrect, please help me out identifying it!

this happened to me also, in 11.04 my graphics were fine but as soon as i fresh installed 11.10 it was slow, i have a system76 weldebeest with a gt430 card and on 11.04 nothing could stop it but in 11.10 i can barely do anything without lag its horrible and makes me sad... i have drivers installed from the drivers applet, and i found a ppa that if you use to upgrade it helps the performance a tiny bit but this thing is still laggy as hell.

this is the ppa i used http://blog.al4.co.nz/2011/10/slow-desktop-performance-on-ubuntu-11-10-with-nvidia-graphics-cards/

like i said this helps a little but performance sucks horribly in 11.10
