Comment 14 for bug 652731

Alot of people with Core i-7 processors and Nvidia card combinations have been reporting performance issues with their systems including system lagging and sluggishness, poor graphics rendering, desktop glitches, and long boot and installation times. I've had many of these issues. Including and extremely slow boot with the start up disk, a slow installation, and a sluggish system that fails to render some things properly. XFCE and Gnome both use similar process management systems and in some cases have the same back end systems running. I wonder if their is a common process that isn't playing nice with the x58 boards using nvidia drivers. I wonder if anyone can think of a process or program that could cause all of these different bugs?

I'm going to try and download the MM 10.10 disk again and reinstall once again to see if I'm just getting my disk from a bad mirror, but if this fails again, I'm probably going to just go back to 10.04 as it has worked well on my machine with only some minor crashes here and there, and i currently cannot do my home work or manage my business because I never know if my fonts will be correct when I boot my machine. I really hope someone will deal with this soon. I've been using Ubuntu since Dapper Drake, and have really loved it seeing it just get better and better every time. However, this is a major regression, it won't shake my faith in the project or conical but, i can't help but be a bit miffed that this was their finished product. The x58 mother board and Nvidia 200 series card I bought, I bought because they were supposed to be well supported in Linux and common enough in the market that I figured they'd be well tested and well supported by the linux community. I'm sad to see this issue not addressed in the beta testing process for 10.10, especially with how well this same hardware worked with 10.04. I hope it's all sorted out by 11.04.
