Here, too.... Radion X600 on a Sony Vaio VGN-A790.... Problem with slow scrolling and high CPU usage (even when not doing anything at all in X but running gnome-system-monitor) appears with:

This older version of SuSE works even with all the current updates (but not upgrade to 10.2). I believe it uses Xorg 6.8.2, rather than 7.0, 7.1 or 7.2 like the other distros listed. Removed Ubuntu Feisty and replaced with SuSE due to the fact that, over time, the problem seems to gradually get worse. One key indicator that this problem exists is that the CPU of the machine remains pegged at or near full speed (1995 MHz) rather than dropping to its normal "cruise" mode of 798 MHz as it would under a properly working version of Linux. -- EXA broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/88696 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
