What's it say about video when you start it from the command line? How fast

Multiple video cards? What are their chipsets, and which X modules are you
using for them? That's "/sbin/lspci | grep VGA" and "grep
Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf" if you don't know the answers to those questions.
Are you running in Xinerama or with separate Screens?
