    [SOLVED] My firefox is realy choppy

    got fedora 10 and im using the preinstalled firefox 3 and it is really choppy. Especially when I scroll up/down the page and just feels slow.

    also when i wash flash movies its really choppy like it shows a little bit and then it pauses for a sec but you still here the sound.

    a also find vlc to be very choppy when in full screen mode is it possible i dont have my video card installed or something?

    COMP specs = 3.2 ghz dual core 3gb ram

    Any ideas on how to overcome this problem? different browser? or simple fix?

    It could very well be the video card drivers. Open a terminal/konsole window and post the output of this command. But first login as root.

    (root password)
    Code:
    lspci |grep VGA
