I recently installed an ATI Radeon 9200 video card, and have its open source drivers installed (I believe version 8.532). Since then, when scrolling in Firefox 3.03, the cpu load shoots up to 90-100% and the scrolling is -of course- choppy. I disabled Advanced Desktop Effects, thinking that was the cause, but to no help.
I have seen similar reports of this, and others do it when Flash or Java content is in the page being scrolled. Mine will do it in google, help forums, this reporting page, everything!
Here are some basic system specs;
Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 (kernel 2.6.24-19-generic) / AMD Athlon XP 2600+ / 1gB RAM / Radeon 9200
If you need more info, please let me know. Please keep in mind that I am fairly new to Ubuntu/Linux in your responses.
Many thanks in advance! |
