slow page-scrolling with firefox

Filed under coding, general, linux

hi everyone,

some days ago, while browsing the web on my favorite websites, I felt that they all seemed to be slower. Firefox even started to need around 100 % of my CPU what NEVER happened before. It was interesting that pages like Google-search or simple text-pages weren’t affected. The problem obviously had to do something with the stuff surrounding the text ( pics, flash, whatever, … ). At first I was kind of helpless because I didn’t know what caused this mess, but then I remembered an update of my NVIDIA-driver. After a bit of searching I found the responsible option in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

...
Option "NoAccel" "false"
...

After restarting X, it worked again. Maybe this helps some people.
