Re: Fedora10 KDE desktop folder view getting slow

[Mustafa Mehmed]

Hi Lasith,

I have a very similar laptop and setup except I use GNOME and not 
KDE. I used to use KDE all the time because of its high 
configurability, but GNOME became the default install in Fedora a 
while ago, so I've stuck with that now and it is more than adequate 
for a desktop.

My set up is :-

HP Pavilion DV6746TX laptop (Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     T5550  @ 1.83GHz)
2 GIGs RAM
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400M GS (rev a1)
Linux hp-laptop 2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686 #1 SMP Tue Dec 16 15:12:04 EST 
2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

$ rpm -qa|grep -i nvidia
kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.7-134.fc10.i686-177.82-1.fc10.6.i686
kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686-177.82-1.fc10.4.i686
kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686-177.82-1.fc10.7.i686
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-177.82-1.fc10.i386
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-177.82-1.fc10.i386
kmod-nvidia-177.82-1.fc10.7.i686

I have used, F8, F9 and am currently using F10 as my os. I have 
always done a clean install and never an upgrade (previous 
unsatisfactory experiences).
My video runs perfectly and quickly. Maybe you could try two things - 
install GNOME and see if you still get the kind of latency you are 
describing, or reinstall F10 from scratch (PITA) and ensure that you 
have the rpm-fusion repos also installed - you can then use 
precompiled nvidia modules. I have in the past compiled my own nvidia 
drivers modules if I couldn't be bothered for LIVNA to catch up, 
although with rpm-fusion repos this does not now seem to be a 
problem. Good luck.
