Dell Latitude D810 here. This problem seems dramatically lessened but not altogether gone. Dragging windows and other video-intensive actions are marginally slower than with the -386 kernel. Also my screensavers now run at about 10% their regular speed. (ati binary driver) Yes, it's like watching a slideshow now.
I've been following this thread/problem for quite awhile, and hoped that this kernel update would solve all the problems. Looks like it's FAR better than it was, but things still aren't 'normal' vs. the -386 kernel. I'd stick with the -386 kernel except that vmware is almost unusable with it; the -686 kernel is considerably faster. -- cpu idle time in /proc/stat wrong https://launchpad.net/bugs/30557 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
