ATI.. I believe open source. 3d is enabled.

If it helps, I'm running ArchLinux with WMII, but even under KDE 4.4 it didn't take "a few seconds" for menu items to load.

[edit]
I don't think it has anything to do with the graphics drivers. I just downgraded to vesa drivers and Qt was still as responsive as ever.
Thanks for the reply. I built a new system and Qt is snappy. Muat have been the rubbish CPU and mother.

Now iv just got to get my first "hello world" program onto the N900.... now where is google....

Thanks guys.
