AMD64X2 + nVidia So, what i do is move the mouse once and then get to the typing of code/mail etc. But once i use rich X based application like browser, krita, it is very difficult and exasperating to use the app. Currently, i just switch to my Gentoo laptop to access web browser / graphics editing.
