*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 51576 *** I have the same problem (bug #53598) with Intel 950 graphics on a Core Duo laptop (ThinkPad X60s). It is not a GL problem since it affects Desktop animations.
It seems to be a problem with the 2.6.15-26 kernel but it is much MUCH worse with 2.6.15-26 686 than 2.6.15.26 386 (in my experience.) let me repeat, it has nothing to do with GL... -- Slow 2D graphics and high CPU usage when idle https://launchpad.net/bugs/53757 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
