hi,

i have a thinkpad t41 and use ubuntu 9.04 (recently upgraded from 8.10).

Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1600MHz
widh: 32 bits
Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]
IC25N080ATMR04-0 80GB 4200RPM 2.5" ATA IDE HDD
System memory size: 1002MiB

the performance is extremely slow (in both 8.10 and 9.04) as compared to windows xp. it is unuseably slow to switch between windows and tabs, scroll, create files and folders or type an address in firefox.

i tried adding Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, as suggested elsewhere in this forum (http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/sh....php?p=7148225), however this had no effect on my laptop.

what can i do? any help is highly appreciated.
