KDE is very Slow
Hello!
OKay, so I got my Dell Inspiron 6000 finally working. I installed the ati radeon driver, loaded the ipw2200 wireless driver, and fine tuned a lot of the stuff.
But, alas, kde for some reason freezes for a bit a lot. Loading is slowed and games like ppracer are snail's pace.
What can the problem be? Acpi setup, the graphic driver?
I know this isn't a desktop, but I've got 1 gig of memory, so it shouldn't be that slow.
UPDATE: OK, it's the the dma problem - can't activate dma. I see there is a lot of talk about that, but nothing yet has solved my problem.
UPDATE 2: OK, got dma working, but when I lspci get a lot of unknown devices:
