</I>><i> Your message is awfully short of details. What I'd like to know is:
</I>><i>
</I>><i> 1. What is your laptop's model and specifications?
</I>><i>
</I>
It is a Toshiba Satellite L745-S4210.
Specs from manufacturer's site:
<A HREF="http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/satellite/l740/l745-s4210/">http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/satellite/l740/l745-s4210/</A>
(I paid $100 less than that price last December at Best Buy)
><i>
</I>><i> 2. Which desktop environment are you using?
</I>><i>
</I>
KDE 4.8.2
><i>
</I>><i> 3. Which applications are you running?
</I>><i>
</I>
As a general rule: Firefox and Konsole.
Occasionally Dolphin, Dragon Player, Libre Office, Amarok.... nothing
exceptionally heavy.
><i>
</I>><i> 4. Which graphics driver are you using? Is it the proprietary driver?
</I>><i>
