Hi!

I'm hitting same kind of difficulties. But the problem started after I got an Ati 3D card. And when using fglxr I hit with an huge CPU load on any screen intensive apps.

For example a Video in full screen will lag down to 15 fps while the same video runs in Windows fully and with CPU load @ 40-60%

Same thing was before while I had nVidia card under Ubuntu, I was able to watch that video and all the desktop effect were a lot faster.

And to compare my Video cards, we are talking about GeForce 7800GT and Ati Radeon HD3850, which have a big difference in 3D speed for Ati one.

But the similiarity to this problem is some ppl referring to the fglrx and the thing that my Desktop PC is build on IP915 motherboard and Pentium M (to be specific Dothan) Processor.

The Ubuntu versions where I have found this problem are 7.10 and 8.04.
