http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hi. I test F18 and I install kernel-3.7.1-2.fc18.x86_64 from updates-testing repo. I use driver nvidia, with akmod-nvidia, and that work fine for the 3.6 kernel. But with the 3.7 kernel, X don't start... I have this error in /vat/log/Xorg.0.log : Code: [    6.364] X.Org X Server 1.13.1 Release Date: 2012-12-13 [    6.364] X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 [    6.364] Build Operating System:  2.6.32-279.9.1.el6.x86_64 [    6.364] Current Operating System: Linux host 3.7.1-2.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jan 4 00:10:48 UTC 2013 x86 (HowTos)

Extremely slow machine 3 years 20 weeks ago

Hello,

I run F12. Since some days my laptop has become very sluggish. In Mozilla, switching between the tabs takes like seconds instead of fraction of a second. Also minimizing and mximizing windows takes long. Switching between the windows too takes long. Now I can't see the cursor while typing this post.
