Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
I don't know wheter this is a firefox, a Xorg or a nvidia driver problem. But I guess it's a bug in X, as it happens both with firefox 2.0, firefox 3.0 and epiphany-browser (using mozillas rendering engine). Description: When highlighting links in firefox (moving the mouse above them), for some links, the cpu usage of X goes up to nearly 100 % (for one cpu), and the link is highlighted with noticeable slowdown. This happens for example on the following page: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/List with the links in the _main text_ on the right. It does _not_ happen with the links in the left pane. Additionally, the "new" version of google mail is almost unusable, including scrolling. Same problem with cpu usage of X. The problem also occurs when I move a window before these links. Another way to trigger the problem (for testing) is using this google gadget http://www.google.de/ig/adde?hl=de&moduleurl=eyes.xml&source=imag the cpu usage of X goes immediately to 100% when you move the eye position. I am using Kernel "2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 12:47:45 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux" with Ubuntu 8.04 with an GeForce 7900 GS with the nvidia-glx driver and TwinView.
