Re: Troubleshooting X performance problems?

Thanks for the replies.

You sure its an nvidia? Most people seem to have intel on that model.

Anyway, sounds like its using the vesa driver.

check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file for:

Driver "vesa"

If its there, delete it or comment out, then logout/in or reboot to restart X

Moving a window should not use any CPU unless you're using the vesa brain dead driver.
Yep, I'm sure it's an Nvidia card (it was running Windows before). As a sanity check, lspci confirms the make and model. I also know for sure that it's using the proprietary nvidia driver (it's in my xorg.conf, and the nvidia splash shows at startup).

My screen resolution is indeed 1440x900.. I didn't have to configure anything special to do that... besides, xrandr would make it easy to check and switch...
