Jerky scrolling on browser

Hi,

Running the Linpus version with 8Gb SSD card. Ever since I got the A1, I've been frustrated by the stuttering, jerky scrolling in FF. Is this due to the infamous slow SSD card, or is it something else? And, more importantly, can I do anything about it?

Thanks

PS - searched around the forum, but didn't find anything

 

It has something to do with Linpus.
I have the hard drive version and on Linpus it scrolls `jerky` but on Windows XP/Vista/7 it scrolls smoothly..

Edit: When I was using Linpus I tried Firefox 2 and Firefox 3.0.5!

 

Thanks for the input. I tell you, it's making me nuts. I'm almost tempted to go Win XP to resolve it.

Anybody else got this problem on the Linpus SSD version?

 

I just installed Opera for Linux, and the performance is much, much better. I highly recommend it.

 

I have the same problem with Firefox 3.06 on a Acer One with 120gb harddrive running XFCE on Fedora 10.
The problem dissapear when flash is uninstalled (both adobe flash and gnash gives same slowdown problem).
The problem does not excist in windows xp.

Thanks for the tip to use Opera! Much smoother browsing.

 

The browser scroll jerky on 160GB windows XP AAO. The scrolling speed in my case is limited by the processor. When scrolling on low bandwidth website (google search results), it's smooth as butter. On high bandwidth websites (vimeo.com while playing 720P flv videos), scrolling the website will be jerky.

 

The problem for me is that when a couple of tabs is open and one of them contains anything with flash (including ads and pages that includes an embedded move that are not currently playing) the system becomes slow and unresponsive. This does not happen in opera and not in firefox when running windows xp. Is someone else experiencing this?

 

When I go to the Opera download page, Linpus isn't one of the options. What do I pick?

 

Pick windows OS and Install Opera on windows :lol:

Anyways.. you can't use Opera on Linpus without any modifications to the OS.

 

Hi
I "solved" the problem in firefox this way:

in a new tab, type "about:config"
in the filter section, type "smooth"
in "general.smoothScroll" type false.

No more jerky when doing a page down, firefox doesn't try to be smooth and just show the next page.
I think it has to be related with the buffering of the screen... Sadly, there are too many options to mess around with in xorg.conf, or with the compiz-settings-manager ccsm.

Hope it helped a bit

This worked great -- thanks a lot!
