I have some weird response time degradation or problem with painting the screen fast enough in X. If I move the mouse around, the cursor will dissapear and then re-appear after a couple seconds, especially if I move it over something like an icon or something that changes when you hover over it. The screen even lags while I'm typing right now. Every sentence or so, output to the screen will lag for a couple seconds so the stuff I'm typing doesn't show up for a couple seconds. If I want to move a window, I have to click on the window and hold there for a few seconds before I move anywhere or it wont move it.

If I run top and move the mouse around a lot in X, X pegs the processor to 100% usage.

Some additional info:
Running KDE, but it does it in any window manager.
I am using the newest NVIDIA driver....

Soyo Dragon KT400 Lite
AMD AthlonXP Barton 2500+

Nevermind... I found the answer, it was just posted in a different forum for a similar problem.

Had to add pci=noacpi to my kernel string in grub.conf
