#Subject: [suse-amd64] System slow after upgrade to 10...
#
#Hello,
#
#    I recently upgraded to OpenSuse 10 and my system is running very 
#slow.  I cannot figure out why.  I checked the processes with  top and 
#did not see anything out of the ordinary or any processes 
#using 100% CPU 
#usage.  Typing is very slow, startup is slow etc...what should I check?
#
#System: Acer Ferrari 4005
#AMD64 Turion
#1 gb mem ddr400
#100 gb 5400 rpm hdd
#etc...

I've got an HP nx6125 with the Turion chipset, 1GB ram, and have noticed
the same thing.  I can't really state the whole box is slow, just the
some of the X related stuff.  These are slow, but tolerable only because
the graphics look good.  I haven't had a chance to dig around yet (it's
only been up a couple of days).  So, I'm going to hazard a guess about a
driver (or drivers) being an issue.  Specualtion: it might be the driver
for the ATI X300 since what I'm experiencing is gui related.  I've seen
complaints about the newer ATI cards/chipsets and Linux on various
lists.  I'll have a chance to check it out tonight.  If it turns out to
be the ATI, this'll be the first and last thing I buy with an ATI if it
isn't easily fixed.
