The host has 512MB of RAM and apparently 64MB is peeled off for the integrated GPU, with the remainder of the ~77MB difference apparently eaten by BIOS shadowing, etc. The first thing I would do is jump into the BIOS config and reduce the GPU memory to the minimum allowed, if it will go lower than 64. The OP doesn't currently have enough RAM to run compiz or openGL apps and is surely not currently doing so. If he is, that's the source of the problem right there. If this laptop allows a shared GPU memory size as low as, say, 4MB, that would free 60MB more RAM for Linux. That may not be enough to completely solve the slowness issues, but it should surely help to some degree. If the lowest allowed in 32MB that's still an additional 32MB for Linux. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
