Public bug reported: I've been using the vesa driver on my laptop without problems since Breezy, the reason being that I cannot get the savage driver to work properly with it.
However, after upgrading from Dapper to Edgy (i.e. from xorg 7.0.0 to xorg 7.1.1) the vesa driver has become unbearably slow. Dragging windows causes a constant and very noticeably repaint of the window, but the worst part is when using scroll bars, on which the constant repaint makes it nearly impossible to browse internet pages. See this comment on the xorg mailing list, which also refers to this issue: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2006-September/018036.html Thanks. ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-vesa (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- vesa driver extremely slow after upgrade from xorg 7.0.0 to 7.1.1 https://launchpad.net/bugs/61720 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
