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 when I rotate neither, the problem largely goes away. I have been running like this without a reboot for several days now. Youtube still works fine and the R rgl package is mostly okay. I'm now using driver 304.37, installed using the nvidia installation package.
Could others experiencing this problem chime in on whether it might be linked to rotation? Are you rotating? Do you still experience the problem if you don't? I've attached my xorg.conf. The rotation commands are commented out, but I wanted them visible so someone could say if there was a problem. ** Attachment added: "xorg.conf" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/1011698/+attachment/3279544/+files/xorg.conf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1011698 Title: Performance problems with Nvidia driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/1011698/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
