[Bug 1313158] Re: Graphics lag and jerk with nVidia card

 

I tested with the 64 bit liveDVD 15.10 Wily Werewolf test version of
24-sep-2015.

I observed the following:
- white (or grey) text at top of screen during boot (Linux message) was maybe larger than usual
- the Ubuntu splash screen with 5 red dots was visible (at last!)
- the cursor is not sluggish like 14.04 32 bit with nVidia card
- the cursor is very fast and responsive just like the test machine without nVidia card using 14.04 or 15.04 32 bit
- dragging windows around the desktop very rapidly on the nVidia machine behaves just like the test machine without nVidia

In summary, the 64 bit liveDVD on the nVidia machine behaves just like
the 32 bit 14.04 and 15.04 on the test machine without nVidia.

Bravo.

Title:
  Graphics lag and jerk with nVidia card

Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  A Dell Inspiron 660 without nVidia graphics works fine.

  The same machine with an nVidia card lags and jerks when dragging a
  window or scrolling a browser page.

  Most annoying.

  I do not have any proprietary drivers and would like to keep things
  that way.
