It is absolutely unacceptable that moving a window on the display should require all of a system's CPU to accomplish. No one is going to take an operating system seriously if it only offers the choice of doing useful work _or_ moving windows....
Perhaps we need to look at how others managed to work around this bug by having a look-see at other distros. The Gentoo-based Sabayon Linux 3.3 is a good example of a distro that uses 2.6.20 kernel with Xorg 7.2 and manages to avoid this particularly odious problem. My (admittedly limited) experience with a number of distros on the same hardware seems to indicate that the bug is most prevalent with kernel versions from 2.6.15x through 2.6.18x with some issues striking SOME versions of Kernel 2.6.19/2.6.20-15 (I think this is what Feisty has). Long story short: How does Ubuntu's implementation of 2.6.20-15 differ from Sabayon's 2.6.20r3? What is different in the kernel config files? Maybe I'll look into this, if I get the chance, but I'm no programmer, nor very experienced at reading kernel config files, so I could probably have the difference that causes the problem staring me in the face and not know it... So, that being said, I defer to wiser heads than mine, but DO offer the very strong opinion that it is something wrong with the kernel, specifically that Ubuntu and Debian both do and that Sabayon manages to avoid. -- 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
