xorg still goes crazy....by short moments
I have reported before that in my system, the CPU was used intensively by xorg. With the ATI proprietary fglrx driver, it helped to reduce the slowliness in the applications, and eliminated dvd jerky playback in gnome.
But in KDE is a different story. Playing a DVD with Kaffeine gives black rectangles flickering in the screen. Clicking in the menus of Kaffeine cause them to flicker too. If Kaffeine is reduced to a small window and another application cover is full screen, then I can see the black window of Kaffeine overlaying the application.
Top shows also that xorg, both in Gnome and KDE, uses the CPU at very high %, although this only for a short moment. But this is not normal. My previous system had a 1GHz CPU with an old Radeon 9250 card and never saw that kind of problems.
I still believe that the ATI propietary driver still does not provide perfect support for this integrated gpu, HD-3200
Or can someone with a similar system tell me if my xorg.conf should be modified? Here is my present configuration. Thanks for your suggestions.
