Roberto Sosa Cano, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better. As per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-
support/product/precision-t5500/drivers an update to your computer's
buggy and outdated BIOS is available (A16). If you update to this
following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change
anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then
please mark this report Status New.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Graphics performance degrades with time in 14.04

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After several days using the system the graphics performance degrades.
  I cannot find any information in syslog or dmesg. It takes an awful
  amount of time to open a new window, and during that time the mouse is
  trapped into one of the monitors (cannot move to the other one). Also
  I've noticed that the Unity notification bar freezes and I cannot
  access any of the icons there, and the clock is just frozen.

  HDD, memory and CPU load seem normal. The only solution I've found is
  to reboot.

  Thanks in advance.
