Comment 1 Jon Stanley 2010-05-30 17:00:41 UTC

Since the same kernel works on F13 (all I did was take the SRPM and do a scratch build, I didn't even disable debugging like Kyle did in his build), I would say that this is unlikely to be a kernel issue, but rather something else in the stack. For now, I'm moving this to nouveau, but that might not be the right place either.

Comment 2 Ben Skeggs 2010-05-30 23:38:31 UTC

ballbuster uses OpenGL, and won't be smooth without a hardware 3D driver.  How's things if you install mesa-dri-drivers-experimental?

Comment 3 Frank Murphy 2010-05-31 09:26:07 UTC

90% improvement

Comment 4 Ben Skeggs 2010-05-31 23:30:55 UTC

Yes, close her up.
It can only get better.
