First, let me describe the problem: When using the wheel on my logitech wheel mouse (PS/2, ImPS) to scroll up and down in various apps (Mozilla, AbiWord), I see very high CPU activity as reported by "top". The faster I scroll, the higher the CPU utilization. For example, if I continously scroll in either direction, util. quickly reaches upwards of 90+%. As soon as I stop scrolling, util. drops to around the normal 5%. Note that the same thing happens if I drag the scrollbar up and down manually, too, it's just that I generally use the mousewheel instead.
Now, let me describe the system briefly: AMD Duron 1.2GHz 768MB PC133 SDRAM nVidia GeForce2 MX 200, 64MB vRAM Debian Woody, stock bf2.4 kernel, stock "nv" video drivers, *no* kernel patches Any ideas why CPU util. is shooting so high? Is that normal? I understand that I'm just using the generic stock "nv" drivers for my video card, but would using the proprietary nVidia drivers make much difference for simple 2D use? Would recompiling my kernel to better suit my platform make a significant difference? Thanks for any hints! Sincerely, M.
