7 Use a process viewer to see what is chugging through the usage. It probably
8 isnt your xorg configuration, although you might try changing the Modules
9 section to this...
10 Section "Module"
11 # This loads some basic X extensions.
12 Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension
13 # Some graphics specific modules
14 Load "extmod" # basic graphics subsystem extended support
15 Load "glx" # glx support
16 EndSection

18 You might like to run revdep-rebuild -p and pay special attention to any
19 graphics stuff that is broken. Im also running the same chipset and it goes
20 flawlessly with that driver version.
21
22 Other posibilities, longshot but worth checking are sound (especially artsd in
23 kde), and gtk support (firefox dependancy).

25 PS you did run 'opengl-update nvidia' right?

28 A programmer is a person who passes as an exacting expert on the basis of
29 being able to turn out, after innumerable punching, an infinite series of
30 incomprehensible answers calculated with micrometric precisions from vague
31 assumptions based on debatable figures taken from inconclusive documents
32 and carried out on instruments of problematical accuracy by persons of
33 dubious reliability and questionable mentality for the avowed purpose of
34 annoying and confounding a hopelessly defenseless department that was
35 unfortunate enough to ask for the information in the first place.
