Radeon 2600 AGP runs WAYYYY slower after upgrading to 10.5.5

I recently installed the Leo4All 10.5.5 update and noticed that my graphics card renders about half as fast as it did previously. Everything's way slower. iTunes visualizer, window effects, animations in the dock. Any way to fix this?

Author Update #2 @deathbyguitar 2008-12-21

I have no idea how CI/QE was working so well before. It just did. Strange...

Field Note #1 @nfoav8or 2008-12-21

is CI/QE showing that it is supported?
It is normal for a video card to not have full support after an update. Re-apply the pre-update fix and all should be well again.

What did you do that made your system work before you updated? this is the (oh so eloquently put ;)) pre-update fix. sorry for the confusion.

How did you enable full CI/QE support prior to this update?
