Hello,
I do not know for which package to write a bug, cause...
I've a very bad and slow desktop rendering speed with the latest GNOME and nautilus rawhide. Moving a little gnome-terminal window is bumpy, when I switch to another workspace, the whole gnome desktop gets freezed, only the background is displayed, no icons and a delay for ca. 3-5 sec comes to the screen, where i cannot do anything with a mouse click response. I had this in the past only with the firefox pop-ups, but now with the whole gnome desktop.
This happened with the nv (xorg) and the nVidia GFX driver, with agpgart or the nvida nvagp, with Fedora rawhide kernel and a vanilla, but *only* under the gnome desktop. With KDE all is fast and smooth, except firefox and thunderbird is again slow rendering fonts and bad displayed.
I've tried to turn off sub-pixel-rendering for my Dell notebook with a Geforce 6800 Go, played with hinting, then with the bytecode-interpreter enabled, but under gnome all is slow again. Then I've tried to compare ftbench benchs, no reason found. Then x11perf, also no really spped diffenrence found. All logs show no errors.
Anybody know, what the reason can be? Is it cairo, the font rendering from freetype, gtk2 or nautilus? I really do not know, where to go ahead. :-(

Hmmm, I've noticed this too, and I'm also using the nv driver with and GeForce 6800 Go chipset in a Dell laptop. This only happened very recently (maybe last nights update).
I'm also unable to get better than 1600x1200 resolution on my 1920x1200 screen.

Have you tried to use a modeline: "gtf 1920 1200 60"
# 1920x1200 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 74.52 kHz; pclk: 193.16 MHz Modeline "1920x1200_60.00" 193.16 1920 2048 2256 2592 1200 1201 1204 1242 -HSync +Vsync
But then use "1920x1200_60.00" as resolution from this example. Line break is here also ath end!
My xorg nv driver runs here also with the native 1440x900 only with a modeline in xorg.conf. :-(

Marcus,
I'm not sure where you're suggesting I put this information (presumably, /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but even then not sure where in the conf).
Could you supply the entire file or some more clues on where to put?

If you use other modes for gaming or whatever, put the needed modelines (generated from gtf) in the monitor section or in an extra "Modes" section, if more monitors are connected.
