I am running xorg 7.5 and KDE 4.5.5 on a new laptop I just purchased (Toshiba Satellite L675D). I am having issues regarding dragging windows around on the desktop. They are very choppy (slow rendering/updating) and leads me to believe that I am either using the wrong drivers and/or having issues with a lack of hardware acceleration. My graphics card is an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200. I have posted my xorg.conf file below but on a side note I am concerned that it is not my TRUE configuration. In other words, when I boot up, my xorg.conf file is used, but in order to enable dual monitors and change my resolution I must go to the KDE system settings/display configuration and use the GUI to select my desired settings. I do not know how to get KDE to remember these settings and place them into xorg.conf. In any event, both methods still produce choppy windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
