I finally got my new widescreen monitor to work using DVI after I switched from a Matrox card to Nvidia. It works with the resolutions I wanted of 1440x900 :p, but the cpu usage shoots way up with every opening or usage of any program, Firefox, Evolution, rdesktop, etc. It is unbearable. I found plenty of other posts of the problem, but only one possible solution in a couple of posts about adding the 'UseEvents' options to xorg.conf, but still no help. If I look at top while the issue is happening, it always shows Xorg as the high usage culprit.
Can anyone suggest how I can track down and solve this issue?
