The sluggishness is almost certainly related to the video driver performance regression in Ubuntu 9.04. There are some half-fixes which introduce new problems, but for most users I recommend going back to 8.10 for now. Easiest way around it, sadly. Your audio issue I'm not so sure about (Skype works okay here whether I have pulseaudio running or not, so, hrm). - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2010: Wellington, NZ http://www.penguinsvisiting.org.nz/ "I haven't been this excited since the introduction of devfs." - Mark Rosenstand on upstart-devel list -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
