The horror! :) Side note: Actually, for following the latest Kernel I have installed package linux-image-2.6-amd64, which in its description says This package depends on the latest Linux kernel 2.6 and modules But right now it still depends on linux-image-2.6.32-3-amd64 in unstable. I just upgraded to 2.6.32-4 manually, and it did not fix the slowness. But thanks to Brice Goglin's help and the x.org HOWTO wiki I just got dual screen working with the radeon driver, so in principle I do not care any more :). Regards, Thue

For example, there is no smooth scrolling in Firefox. I am not sure which upgrade did it, but am filing a bug here as my best guess. I started experiencing slowness too sime time ago, but I'm using radeon driver (not radeonhd), so I guess it's not the driver. -- Ecce Jezuch Nail in my hand from my creator You gave me life now show me how to live - C.

Hi. Thue Janus Kristensen thu...@gmail.com (23/03/2010): After a recent aptitude upgrade, my desktop is suddenly very slow. For example, there is no smooth scrolling in Firefox. I am not sure which upgrade did it, but am filing a bug here as my best guess. AFAICT -radeonhd isn't really maintained, you may want to give -radeon a try. I notice that there have recently come a new warning in my Xorg log: (WW) RADEONHD(0): [drm] failed to enable new memory map This may or may not be relevant. The old Xorg.1.log.old is attached. See the drm-related dmesg lines in your bugreport, that's probably not helping: without working direct rendering, it's “““normal””” to have a slow browser. :/ Mraw, KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

So I thought I would mention it anyway, on the off chance that it would get fixed :). But as I said, fair enough if you don't give it priority.

Heya again. Thue Janus Kristensen thu...@gmail.com (23/03/2010): Yes, fair enough. But with -radeon dual screen doesn't work in KDE :(. So I thought I would mention it anyway, on the off chance that it would get fixed :). But as I said, fair enough if you don't give it priority. For reference, it's not about us Debian X maintainers, it's about upstream.
