Even moving windows in VMWare guests becomes slow and visibly laggy. It's almost as if there's no video acceleration -- the frame rate drops drastically, and CPU usage seems to increase significantly. Playing video in mplayer still works perfectly, however. Restarting X has no effect, and I have to do a full reboot to get rid of the problem. I'm running 64-bit Gentoo with the following: libdrm 2.4.22 mesa 7.8.2 2.6.36 kernel xorg-server 1.7.7 The problem also occurs with the 2.6.35 kernel, and I've also been able to replicate it in a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10. There are no indications of any problems in both the output of dmesg and the Xorg logs, and the output of intel_gpu_top looks no different before/after the problem occues. I'm on a ThinkPad X201 with an external display connected via DisplayPort, and I do suspend it with the hibernate-ram script. Is this a known problem by any chance? If not, how might I go about troubleshooting this? Thanks, Chun-Yu
