an issue with Ubuntu - video

[Xerxes]

I have Ubuntu installed, along with the Nvidia package.
Why does any Linux install always run staggeredly ?

When I run Windows, it's apparent how smoothly it flows. I have never found
this to be the case with Linux.
It's like it 'hesitates'.

Anyone got any clues, or finds the same ?

Cheers

Yup. You accidentally posted your troll to the wrong group.

Now go back to COLA where you meant to send it.

WTF difference does THAT make? Are you babbling about when you are
installing linux compared to installing windows? If not, then what are
you talking about? My kubuntu seems to respond even before I click on
something, it's like it has ESP or something. XP just takes it's sweet
old time..........

You claimed that "any Linux install runs staggeredly (sic)".

Blatant troll. Take it back to COLA.

Is there a question in there that you expect someone to be able to answer?
I use Ubuntu and Nvidia just fine on a laptop and desktop. What Nvidia
package?

How smoothly it flows? What kind of subjective nonsence is that? Are you
refering to Windows 3.1 on a 486? Vista on a 4.5 ghz super computer?

You haven't got nVIDIAs driver, just the Linux free one.

I believe what you are talking about is the aggressive caching of
drawing requests that the X window system does. It was originally
designed for running over the network, and it still works great over
the network but as a consequence the screen updates are delayed to a
degree where you can see the windows jumping as you drag them around.
There are some efforts to build X on top of the GL 3-D redering layer
which would probably fix this and make the system feel more like OS/X.
