Hi~! Everyone, I'm wondering why is Second-Life viewer so slow on Samsung
Q1 ultra?

Is it graphics driver problem?

Let’s check graphics accelerator driver Q1 has. It’s Intel GMA 950
chipset. See the product specification
(http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/detail/spec.do?group=computersperipheral
s&type=ultramobilepc&subtype=ultramobilepc&model_cd=NP-
Q1U/600/SEA&fullspec=F) Q1 supports DirectX 9 and OpenGL 1.4. Current
graphics driver version that is installed on my Q1: 6.14.10.4833 and latest
version: 6.14.10.4864. It seems that’s not key factor of our problem.

Second-Life viewer self-problem?

Official viewer may have problem with GMA 950 series but I’m not sure what
the problem is exactly. SecondLife doesn't make good harmony with OpenGL
1.4 ver.? If it's true of not, what is the critical problem point? As you
know, my point is not chipset level, but graphics API level!
