What video card do you have in this laptop?  I had a problems with a
lenovo X1 where the whole display was jumping and it was related to the
i915 driver, had to add i915.enable_dc=2 to my kernel boot params to
stop it.

Have you tried playing with the smooth scrolling settings in the
browsers?

I turn them off, because it's like someone trying to move a heavy
object on an iceskating rink with slippery shoes.  It's actually easier
to handle the page instantly jumping up in moderately sized chunks.
 
And have you tried any of hardware acceleration options in the browsers?

Jerky scrolling in Chrome, FF, Brave, VimB

2021-10-28 Thread Philip Rhoades via users

People,

I have had a reasonably powerful PC for the last few Fedora versions:

  i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz 8 core
  32GB RAM
  40GB Swap
  50% free on 4TB Seagate drive

and even though the PC seems unloaded according to Glances eg:

  < 40% CPU loading
  < 80 RAM used
  ~ 1% Swap used
  - Disk IO minimal

I still have problems using the up / down cursor keys, PgUp / PgDn keys, 
mouse wheel for moving around on web pages - there is usually a second 
or more delay and then a jump . .


Admittedly I do tend to load up the browsers with multiple windows and 
tabs but if the system still seems unloaded, why is there the jerkiness?


Prior versions of Fedora were XFCE4, current F34 is Wayland and Sway but 
the problem has been there over multiple versions . .


Thanks,

Phil.
