Hi, I have buy this Asus netbook with Ubuntu pre-installed:
ASUS 1225C-GRY015U http://www.monclick.it/schede/asus/1225C-GRY015U/1225c-gry015u.htm
With a Video integrate VGA compatible controller Intel Corporation Atom Processor D2xxx/N2xxx Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) and driver gma500
(see below lspci and lshw)
At the first power on, I do not have start Ubuntu, then do not know if the problem (see below) there is with Ubuntu, but I have install straightaway Fedora 18 64 bit.
After install and update f18 (kernel 3.8.2-206.fc18.x86_64), I have try to work into Gnome 3.6, but the video performance are very slow and gnome-shell use too many CPU :
top - 10:30:02 up 5 min, 3 users, load average: 1,50, 1,19, 0,56 Tasks: 163 total, 2 running, 161 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie %Cpu0 : 59,5 us, 3,9 sy, 0,0 ni, 34,0 id, 0,0 wa, 1,6 hi, 1,0 si, 0,0 st %Cpu1 : 58,8 us, 2,6 sy, 0,0 ni, 37,0 id, 0,0 wa, 1,3 hi, 0,3 si, 0,0 st %Cpu2 : 71,7 us, 9,1 sy, 0,0 ni, 17,3 id, 0,0 wa, 1,6 hi, 0,3 si, 0,0 st %Cpu3 : 63,5 us, 5,2 sy, 0,0 ni, 29,3 id, 0,0 wa, 1,6 hi, 0,3 si, 0,0 st KiB Mem: 2039580 total, 942292 used, 1097288 free, 30068 buffers KiB Swap: 4095996 total, 0 used, 4095996 free, 439180 cached pid to signal/kill PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 1706 lesca 20 0 1949m 170m 48m S 246,3 8,5 2:13.89 gnome-shell 672 root 20 0 192m 49m 8244 S 19,2 2,5 0:13.80 Xorg 2042 lesca 20 0 115m 1444 1024 R 1,6 0,1 0:00.71 top 65 root 20 0 0 0 0 R 1,3 0,0 0:01.14 kworker/2:2 1985 lesca 20 0 720m 16m 11m S 1,3 0,8 0:01.51 gnome-terminal 1407 lesca 20 0 129m 2084 904 S 1,0 0,1 0:03.46 sshd 1473 lesca 20 0 115m 1464 1040 S 1,0 0,1 0:02.84 top
Furthermore, the video resolution is fixed to 1366x768 (16:9) and when I attach a video projector (this is very important for me) with a 1024x768 resolution It's not possible to clone the monitors and see what what I'm projecting. Switch via Fn+monitor I can only see netbook monitor or projector...
Question: there is some way to resolve the high CPU usage of gnome-shell and change the video resolution when projector is connect?
Many thanks.
