Package: nvidia-kernel-dkms Version: 195.36.31-3 Severity: normal I have no idea what has changd, but since a few weeks the 2D performance of my testing system is awful. Simply keeping a key pressed in a gnome-terminal already makes the CPU usage (of one core) go bananas (on process Xorg). Using mplayer is almost impossible, because if you do so (from a gnome-terminal), the progress counter will make Xorg use a full core again... Heck, even while I type this mail, the CPU usage of Xorg rises to almost 100%, just because I'm a fast typer!
It's really awful. I have already upgraded to the latest nVidia driver, but I'm not even sure if the nVidia driver could be related. I haven't seen anything weird in the logging, but if someone can point to me what to look for, I'm very happy to provide any logging necessary....!
