Hello all. I'm running a Dell Optiplex 330 machine here at work with an NVIDIA Quadro NVS 285 with 2 screens (a BenQ and an Acer) connected with a DVI-D Y splitter cable. I've been having this very strange problem when logging into GNOME on 9.10 (problem did not exist in 9.04) -- after the desktop loading screen, everything becomes very slow, laggy and unresponsive. If I boot into GNOME failsafe, everything runs fine...
I've been getting around this problem by doing the following after the desktop is visible: switching to TTY-1 (ctrl+alt+1), then switching back to X (ctrl+alt+7), this fixes the lag and there are no further problems until the next bootup.
I have tried changing the NVIDIA drivers (currently using the recommended version 195 NVIDIA driver) and reconfiguring X config settings, which seemed to fix the problem, but on the next reboot it remained (even though the settings were still changed).
I attached my X conf and logs below, let me know if you need anything else that may help diagnose the problem.
