Description Adam Huffman 2009-02-28 23:38:58 UTC 
Description of problem:
Just updated my laptop (Vaio SZ3, Intel 945 chipset) to kernel 2.6.29-0.159.rc6.git3.fc11.x86_64 and the new -intel package, having not been able to use a kernel newer than -119.  The system is very sluggish and it looks like it might be a leak in the Intel X driver or possibly some other part of X.

At the moment I don't have an xorg.conf.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.6.0-9.fc11.x86_64

There've been quite a few kernel and intel updates since this bug was filed: are you still seeing this behaviour? Thanks!
