I'm using Fedora 19 with the standard Nouveau video driver.
I've noticed that when re positioning gui windows with mouse,
movement is increasingly glunky, jerking in 5-10mm steps in any
direction. When dragging a border of a gui window the mouse moves to
almost 100 mm before edge of the window moves.
Have a 2 gig Geforce GT8600 video card which is very goo d at 3d
Blender stuff.
I swapped over to Ubuntu 13.04 which uses the Nvidia driver and
there is no problem at all
Is there any fix for the Fedora 19 Nouveau jerky movement?
The Nouveau driver performance is slow and jerky because the nVidia
hardware is still being reverse-engineered and the driver is still
under heavy development. You can take a look here
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix/
to get an idea.
If you don't insist on using Nouveau under Fedora, you can use the
nVidia closed-source drivers just like in Ubuntu. The procedure is this:
(1) install the rpmfusion repo [1] (if you haven't already),
(2) do a "yum install kmod-nvidia" (it might take a while to finish
because rebuilding the initrd is heavy, be patient with it),
(3) reboot the machine.
After that the nVidia driver should be active and everything
graphics-related should be very smooth and silky... :-)
HTH, :-)

Took the plunge and following the above installed kmod-nvidia now Fedora
boot hangs at Started Accounts Service
I also note that it fails to start ISDN service?
Pretty much dead and can't access anything.
Help is greatly appreciated thanks.
Writing this from Ubuntu.
thanks in advance
