On: Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat)

There appear to still be serious issues with both the proprietary Nvidia and ATI drivers with Xorg 1.9 - kind of a shame. If you have an older Nvidia card, or an ATI card plus certain monitors, you're not going to be able to use the good drivers with 10.10 for awhile.

i've run into this issue after upgrading--cpu usage is high and graphics rendering is slow. after disabling the proprietary nvidia driver everything went back to normal.

there's a beta nvidia driver that claims to fix some of the problems, i'm trying it now: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1577997

Is that with the ubuntu supplied drivers or the nvidia ones?

Everything is working well for me with the latest nvidia drivers (256.53) on a GTX 260 card.

According to the release notes, nvidia-96 and nvidia-173 are the ones with the issue.
