Lagging response and frequent application freezes

[Stephen Rees-Carter]

Binary package hint: xorg

I am getting lagging responses from half my mouse movements and keyboard interactions, and often application windows will freeze for anything from a few moments up to a few minutes at a time. It doesn't matter what application it is, be it Thunderbird, Firefox, or even gedit.

I've tried using the non-nvidia non-propriety drivers, and both the available nvidia drives with no help. I even tried to install drivers from nvidia.com, but it wouldn't install easily.

Please let me know what extra information I can provide to help debug this issue.

Hey Stephen,

Hi, have you had a chance to test if this bug is still present in natty?

If it does (and if you're the original reporter), please boot into natty
and run the command:

  apport-collect <bug-number>

which will update the bug with fresh logs and tag the bug as affecting
natty. (It is best to run this right after reproducing the problem.)

[Stephen Rees-Carter (valorin)]

No, it appears to be working fine in natty.

Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.
