Hi All,
I am having a problem with my XBMCbuntu Eden install. Immediately after installation everything seemed to work very smoothly. However after rebooting everything has gone very jerky - both interface and video are slow to respond.
Dropping out into the desktop environment, loading a terminal window and dragging it around is also very jerky with ghosts of the window visible for a few fractions of a second.
At first I wondered if this was a RAM issue but running free -m shows I have 2511 installed and only 288 being used. I am therefore assuming it must be a graphics issue.
I know nothing about setting up graphics drivers in linux and Xorg.conf just confuses the hell out of me so I don't know where to start.
Can anyone lend any advice on what to look for/how to fix this?
My hardware is as follows: Compaq nc4400 laptop. Intel T2300 1.66GHz Core Duo CPU. Intel Corp Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML graphics controller.
Many thanks
Andy
