There is no switch that can enable it if it is disabled by 'default'.

No I am talking about 2D. What I meant was that maybe the performance issue
is inherent in the card and the only reason it looks OK with Java2D on 
Intel is
that we aren't using anything much at all of the Intel chip and are 
doing the work
on the cpu instead.
