I kind of discovered this by accident. I noticed that whenever ANY application is fullscreen, and I move a window over the top of it, it's nice and snappy, but when I move a window around over the root window, metacity's (the gnome WM) CPU usage skyrockets, and I believe this could be my problem. Is there anyone who has a GeForce2 with the nvidia 4191 drivers installed that could do the following for me for comparison sake?
1) Log into gnome, verify you're using metacity as the window manager ( this is the default) also with Mandrake 9.0 (NOT cooker, or any previous version) 2) Open up gnome-terminal, and drag it around for a few seconds, to see how it responds. I can drag fine for about a second or so, then it gets really choppy. 3) Open any other app, make it fullscreen.. open a child window, and drag IT around, and see if there's a noticeable difference. There is a huge difference for me. Thanks a lot.. Chuck
