I have recently upgraded to the new Stable 2.6 Kernel. Most of everything
works fine. System boots, XFree86 loads, (with direct rendering working),
same with sound, but the cursor will "jerk" around the screen, not
smooth. Programs and my games also do this. Basically the cursor freezes
for 1/2 second and then i can work again. This happens quite frequently,
and consistently, with about 3-5 second intervals, inbetween. I can fix
the X cursor from doing this by reniceing X from 0 to -10, and then the
cursor moves smooth, but this doesn't stop my Programs and Games from
doing this. Thank you for your help, i have included some info in the
attachments that i was told to give you.
