Hi guys.. I am new to this forums, and im totally loving Ubuntu. But after searching for days on end i can not find any help on why my ubuntu is still slow. I have only install linux Ubuntu about 6 days ago and im totally blown away with the speed and power of linux. Iv heard so much about Linux but scared of trying it years ago. Now im worried of going back over to the dark side (MS-XP or Vista same thing kinda), cos im finding problem after problem that i could fix under MS.
My problems are, after installing Beryl or even CompizFusion. My system has become extremely slow. Moving windows around has become a chore, moving at about 10fps. Ive follow the directions.
So if somebody could direct me in the right direction to a more understandable process even for a dummy like me, i would be so great full. Iv also been following the online vids as close as possible. If somebody could explain the process such as Lennart Handsen http://lhansen.blogspot.com/2006/10/3d-desktop-beryl-and-xgl-on-ubuntu-edgy.html
Please remember i do know about the command prompt under doss even though under Linux it's called the terminal? i think. But knowing doss doesnt help at all.
Specs:
Laptop: Acer Aspire 4310 64bit Capable
Processor: Intel Celeron 1.60GHz
Mem: Ram 1.Gig
Video Card: Graphics Mobile Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset Family
Total available graphics memory 251 MB.
wireless: broadcom 802.11g network adapter.
Im certain its a nidiva board, cos the linux drivers were installed correctly.
I hope this is enough information.. Thanks so much guys. i wouldn't know what i would do with out you.
