Laggy browser scrolling

[mrapoc]

When i scroll up and down pages there is considerate lag/lack of response. Plus 1.1gb is down as used. 575mb by XGL sleeping then running every now and again. Its not even on "Best Apperance". Java is also 80mb about cause im forced to use Azur**s until my tracker allows other clients.

IDeas?

[mrapoc]

Done Marked complete removal

Some program told me to install it...so i did lol.

BTW am i supposed to have a @compiz@ entry under anything?

^keyboard set up wrong haha

Might need a compiz setup guide too

ty =] *goes to work*

 

[mrapoc]

Back and ready

 

[Joe]

Delete flags in ur xorg.conf file that will kill AIGLX

-------------

Open a Terminal

Back up or xorg.conf

 cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf xorg.back

note: X11 not x11

Then

 sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Look for an "Extensions" section

if present delete that segment (until the endsection)

Then look for (the far more rare)

ServerFlags section and if presend delete the line which says

option "AIGLX" "off"

*save and exit*

-------------

Add FGLRX to the Compiz Whitelist

sudo gedit /usr/bin/compiz

look for a line beginning

WHITELIST="*ALREADY PRESENT*"

and add fglrx to that list

WHITELIST = " fglrx *ALREADY PRESENT*"

*save + exit*

then Terminal

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

-- a compiz toy tweaker

*Reboot or Restart X (ctrl, alt and backspace)*

Go to System > Appearence [Visual Effects] and hit up whichever option gives most blood to ur crotch

be Sure to Visit

System > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings will give u more options

NJOY

 

[mrapoc]

Cool! done it altho there were no entries in those two files.

Which effects do you recommend? Its doing loads of cool stuff, that i dont have a clue wot its doing and why lol

Still a bit laggy tho but memory useage is hell of a lot lower. Laggy as in ill scroll the wheel up..stop and itll keep going. If i go up down up down it will carry on doing operations 5 seconds later lol :/

 

[mrapoc]

My graphics driver maybe? I dunno :| Way to test?

 

[mrapoc]

JOE!>!>! be my saviour! rofell

 

[mrapoc]

ho ho ho fixed it meself!!!!

had to disable composite driver in my xorg.conf file

HAPPEH

but...effects = gone down the drain

 

[Joe]

in what way have they vanishes Down ye olden hairtrap?

 

[mrapoc]

Well because ive had to disable composite in my xorg.conf file (meaning browsing and general operation feels smooth now) i cannot apply any visual affects under preferences>appearance

So unless some1 who knows sh00tall about ubuntu can help i either have:

Effects + operation that feels like vista with no gpu installed

No effects + nice operations altho a bit Win98 looking

 

[Joe]

Drop ur xorg.conf here please

Oh and did u run sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv @ the end of installing the driver

 

[mrapoc]

I think so

Im at college atm - ill do it later

Cheers Joe

 

[Joe]

ok delete that shat @ the end

reboot and give me the output of (terminal)

sudo fglrxinfo

you can thro this into a txt file byt entering

sudo fglrxinto >fgl.txt

this will create a file called fgl.txt (in whatever ur dir was when u issured the command) with all relevant info .. postit 4 me please

 

[mrapoc]

the text file was empty when i did it but...

this is what i get from "sudo fglrxinfo"

display: :0.0 screen: 0

OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.

OpenGL renderer string: Radeon X1900 Series

OpenGL version string: 2.1.7059 Release

edit: goes all laggy again soon as i put any effects (even normal mode)

 

[Joe]

Yo i just installed another ubuntu , and followed all the instructions i laid out , works fine.

but i did see a potential issue ( due to me assuming u wld sudo)

where i said

./ati-driver-installer-7-11-x86.x86_64.run

that shd have been

 sudo ./ati-driver-installer-7-11-x86.x86_64.run

so

cd ~/Desktop

then

 sudo ./ati-driver-installer-7-11-x86.x86_64.run

Press Ctrl + Alt + Backspace and go to appearence and enable visual effects

then

sudo aticonfig --initial

and

sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv

oh and re-set OpenGlOVerlay

[sry i dint add that sudo IIRC i was tired @ the time]

 

[Joe]

edit NVm -- was head 2

...

reinstall ur driver

(i updated the original instructions w/ that errant sudo)

 

[mrapoc]

sam@sam-linux:~/Desktop$ sudo ./ati-driver-installer-7-11-x86.x86_64.run

sudo: ./ati-driver-installer-7-11-x86.x86_64.run: command not found

? lol

Guess thats bad
