Hey there! I'm on a desktop PC using
Pentium 4 3GHz HT
1.5 GB RAM
nVidia GeForce FX 5200 - 128 MB
When... i'm not sure when... maybe when I demand too much my computer (firefox with many tabs, same with Quanta, maybe VirtualBox opened, etc...) it all lags, I mean the graphics...
the Expose mode takes 3 seconds to appear, then 3 seconds to return to normal state (no animation in the middle). AWN dock takes forever to realize I have the cursor on it, right click, wait a while...
I hear a very high pitch sound coming from my PC every time, similar to one I hear when selecting a text... or a gif is animating... or moving the cursor over a menu, stuff like that :S I started hearing this (and having such problem) since I've upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy
(Is it upgrade or downgrade?I have tons of problems on Hardy, while Gutsy just worked...)
All visual effects lag until i, thanks to a miracle, manage to save, close everything i have open and restart Ubuntu.
compiz --replace takes forever in such situations, and doesnt do the trick :S I can see the Xorg process using 80% of one of the two virtual CPUs (because of the P4 HT, physically it's just one).
Heeelp T_T
