opensuse 10.3 slow

[scrarfussi]

i have a amd athlon64 3000+ and 1 gig ram fx5200 graphics card i was previously running opensuse10.2 and it was fairly fast things would respond when i clicked them and kaffeine would play my divx movies without a glitch now i'm using 10.3 it feels slow and sluggish i had compiz on 10.2 but didint have all the extra effects i have but still sometimes i have to wait a while just to get click the lizard and my divx films seem to be freezing which is really really irritating anyone else have this problem

Run top and see if you have a process that is eating the CPU.

[scrarfussi]

ok ran top cant amke any sense of the stuff but it dont look like anything really using up cpu

[gogalthorp]

Then it might be a graphics issue.

Run glxgears and see what fps you get

Have you installed the NVIDIA driver?

[goghie]

yeah check graphics drivers, it should run just fine on your box...

Yep something wrong there. You should be getting 1000's of FPS not barely 100.
And should have no errors.

Have you installed the divers? try what is called the hard way rather then the one click method. This does require that you install gcc and kernel-source first.

You must reinstall video if you upgraded!!!


Check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and see if it is using the nv driver instead of the NVIDIA driver.
