Yep, it's under the 9.04 release notes. http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904 The option I added was: Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy" I added this to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf under device. If it helps my xorg.conf is as follows (comments lines removed): Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" Device "Configured Video Device" EndSection I haven't gone as far as enabling Compiz, but doing this certainly seems to speed up the drawing of windows etc. I did a quick Google search too and there is a Howto on the Ubuntu forums but it seems to involve installing the 2.6.30-rc2 kernel. Anyway, hope this helps. Rob -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
