Fresh and plain install of Ubuntu Desktop on my Thinkpad T40, Centrino 1.5 GHz, 2 GB RAM. Integrated graphic card is a ATI Radeon Mobility M7 LW 7500.
It was fast like hell with my Ubuntu 8.10
Now here's the horror:
[CODE]2706 root 20 0 144m 43m 8344 S 50.8 2.1 6:38.90 Xorg
1508 asbesto 20 0 246m 149m 23m S 32.6 7.4 8:01.34 firefox [/QUOTE]
Xorg at 50% of CPU Usage just switching from a workspace to another, Firefox 3 munching 30% of the CPU being on Google homepage.
The laptop now is slow as a 486sx-33 without coprocessor using a TSENG LAB ET4000.
this is a real horror.
Someone has the same problems?
Some solutions?
I think I'm going back to Ubuntu 8.10 pinpointing xorg and Firefox 2.
