I'm wondering if the performance problem is related to monitor rotation. I have two monitors (both 1920x1200) with two video cards. When I rotate either or both, I get the slowdowns I have described above. A few days it occurred to me that rotation might be an issue. I experimented and learned that

Just to follow up on my previous comment, I had to downgrade to 295.40 because my system became unusable with any browser. I would click on a tab in either firefox or chrome, and the browsers would hang with cpu usage hitting 100%. 304.37 is not a fix for this problem. -- You received this bug

I've just installed 304.37 via x-swat ppa. Video is still broken. Here are some examples. 1. Chrome doesn't work properly with youtube videos (the screen essentially freezes while the video is initially loading and the controls such as youtube's sound level control don't respond to clicks ). 2.

I have just confirmed that beta driver 304.22 (installed via the upubuntu ppa) does not fix the problem. It has interesting effects, though. It apparently caused the sound to drop out on youtube (this had never happened before), and at times the video would stumble and other times it would start p

The slowdown problem persists with the 302.17 beta driver, downloaded from the x-swat/x-updates ppa and installed using jockey-gtk. I should add that I am running two graphics cards powering two 1920x1200 displays. My original configuration had one of the two monitors rotated, but the problem occu

I would like to ask for clarification. My status is that I am running 295.49, installed via precise-updates.

As a test I installed 302.07. It exhibits the same problem of initial snappy response and then, after a period, several-second delays in certain graphical tasks. Moreover, it takes 5 times longer to run the matlab 3-D benchmark than did any of the 295.x series. On the whole, in my experience 295.2
