From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.9) Gecko/20061219 Fedora/1.5.0.9-1.fc6 Firefox/1.5.0.9 pango-text Description of problem: I start using X (KDE) with normal speed. Working for 10-15 minutes slows down every X operation by a factor of ~10. Typing is slow, Scrolling is slow, changing focus... Everything. Another 10-15 minutes later, the system is even slower until is it not usable anymore. Restarting X fixes the problem for another 10-15 minutes. "top" shows the Xorg process by 100% but it calms down when idle. The same system runs perfectly with Knoppix 5.1.1. It also worked with FC4/FC5. I reinstalled to a fresh FC6 (without updates) and had the same behaviour. I updates with "yum update" and still the same problem. I'm normally using xinerama on two graphics card. However, the same problem arises when using only a single card without xinerama. It arises on both cards. Please find attached my configurations Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-47.4.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start X 2. work 10-15 minutes 3. Actual Results: Xorg is slow. Expected Results: It is fast :-) Additional info: lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: nVidia Corporation nForce2 AGP (different version?)

Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
Created attachment 154708 [details] xorg.conf showing configuration which resulted in slowdown This xorg.conf was used with which the slowdown happened. There is a second graphics adapter (nvidia) inside the computer. However, to reduce complexity this adapter (and also xinerama) was not used. The problem arises with xinerama, too.
Created attachment 154709 [details] Xorg.0.log during slow down This is the log file during the slow down.
Created attachment 154710 [details] gprof profile data collected during slow down I built a new Xorg binary with profiling support turned on (-pg). This is the profile data in bindary form collected during slow down. The next attachment containt the plain text result parsed out of this binary.
Created attachment 154711 [details] profile data parsed by "gprof" program This is the clear text output from running "gprof /usr/bin/Xorg" against the binary data attached before.
I did a fresh install of Fedora 7 Test 4 to make sure, that the bug is still there. Yes, it ist. I reconfigured X from scratch (by deleting /etc/X11/xorg.conf) but still the bug is there. I then recompiled Xorg from the current SRPMS and added "-pg" to collect profile data. This data is attached. Additional tests/compiles are always possible.
Fedora Core 6 is no longer supported, could you please reproduce this with the updated version of the currently supported distribution (Fedora 7, 8, or Rawhide)? If this issue turns out to still be reproducible, please let us know in this bug report. If after a month's time we have not heard back from you, we will have to close this bug as CANTFIX. Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting information from the reporter. [This is mass-filed message to all open Fedora Core 6 bugs related to Xorg or Gecko. If you see any other reason, why this bug shouldn't be closed, please, comment on it here.]
Yes, this bug is still reproducible with FC6, FC7 and also FC8. I installed all distributions and I was always suffering from this bug. However, I was able to get a usable installation by using the kmod-nv driver from livna on my fc8.
As the second adapter with nvidia driver worked, this is most likely an ati driver bug. Reassigning to xorg-x11-drv-ati. Have you tried fglrx driver with the adapter?
It is not an ATI problem: In order to solve the bug I changed the hardware very often. I startet with an ATI/NVidia combination and suffered from the slowdown. I then changed to ATI/ATI and again a slowdown. I now use NVidia/NVidia and again the slowdown. However, installaing kmod-nv for both NVidia cards solved the slowdown on FC8.
TIll: I'm sorry for the noise then -- assigning back.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
