Slow screen refresh with Intel 915

[truls]

Hi

I'm having a slight problem with compiz on my laptop. All compiz animations (wobbly windows, cube rotation, etc...) are completely fluent but any kind of screen refresh is extremely slow. This leads to choppy scrolling (webpages, pdfs) and watching full-screen video is an impossibility unless I disable compiz first. CPU usage also instantly jumps to a 100% (Pentium M 1.8ghz) if you, for instance, scroll down a webpage.

I'm using Arch Linux with an Intel Mobile 915M graphics card.

Thanks in advance

Hi, I'm not sure if this will help you, but it helped get rid of some of the choppyness with firefox & stuff for me & I have (basically) the same video card as you. Take a look here (http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showpost.php?p=1013285&postcount=3)
