output of lspci -vvnn

In a new installation of Xubuntu hardy from alternate CD on an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300 Series everything seems to work but when using the scroll bar in Firefox the system becames unstable and must be rebooted to recover.

The only change necessary for it to work was adding acpi=force at Kernel boot up.

When this happen:
- The display is not correctly updated / refreshed
- The Xorg process consumes more CPU than normal (~30/40%)
- Everything related to graphical windows slows down, but terminals (opened before) work correctly.

I attached lspci -vvnn, xorg.0.log and xorg.conf.
