How can I speed up the graphic display on an HP Mini 110 series?

  • 772

I have an HP Mini 110 series, and I see that anything that involves grahics or window management is getting very slow. I have the usual 1GB of RAM and the Atom N450 processor.

Is there any special driver I should find for the graphics processor?

Thanks :-)

    I have a similar device and I do the following:

    • Disable Session Applications:

      • GUI: System Menu -> Preferences -> Session Applications
      • CLI: gnome-session-properties
        • Disable things that you dont use or like, such as Visual Assistance, Remote Desktop, Verify New Drivers and so on.

    • Disable Session Graphics (like chris said)

      • GUI: System menu -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects -> Select 'None'
      • CLI: gnome-appearance-properties -> Visual Effects -> Select 'None'

    • Disable unused daemons (install application rcconf).

      • CLI: sudo apt-get instal rcconf
        • Run it: sudo rcconf and disable daemons by pressing "Space".
        • Some daemons to disable are: brltty, bluetooth

  2. You could try to disable compositing. This used for graphic effects but is not really required for most applications.

    System menu> Preferences> Appearance--> Visual Effects--> Select 'None'
