I installed it using apt and the "stable" lg3d repo, starting it in KDE it runs ok, but slow. Starting it at login it runs like a snail stuck in syrup.

There are 3 LG3D repositories. The stable repository has the latest stable releases (0.8.1, 1.0 etc.). The testing repository has the pre-release builds (alpha, beta etc.) for the latest version and the unstable repsoitory has the nightly builds. To access these repositories, add the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list and then comment/uncomment the appropriate line(s).
nvidia is installed and runs just fine. I play OpenArena and TuxRacer, so I know it works.
Downloading the drivers from nvidia isn't the Debian way of installing them anyway.
If you look at my first post you will see nvidia 8776 is installed and run just fine. The reason I wanted to give Looking Glass a try was it is said to work with the 8xxx drivers where as Beryl needs the 9xxx series.
